  • (Oh, I have ambitions, dreams
    But dreams don't come cheap)

    I saw a demon on my shoulder, it's lookin' like patriarchy
    Like scrubbin' blood off the ceiling and bleachin' another carpet
    How my house get haunted?
    Why Toyin body don't embody all the life she wanted?
    A baby, just nineteen
    I know I dream all black
    I seen her everything, immortalizin' tweets all caps
    They say they found her dead

    One girl missin', another one go missin'
    One girl missin', another

    But niggas in the back quiet as a church mouse
    Basement studio when duty calls to get the verse out
    I guess the ego hurt now
    It's time to go to work, wow, look at him go
    He really 'bout to write about me when the world is in smokes?
    When it's people in trees?
    When George was beggin' for his mother, saying he couldn't breathe
    You thought to write about me?

    One girl missin', another one go missin'
    One girl missin', another one

    Yo, but little did I know all my readin' would be a bother
    It's trans women bein' murdered and this is all he can offer?
    And this is all y'all receive?
    Distracting from the convo with organizers
    They're talkin' abolishin' the police
    And this the new world order
    We democratizin' Amazon, we burn down borders
    This a new vanguard, this a new vanguard
    I'm the new vanguard Writer/s: Fatimah Nyeema Warner
