I’ve been to many places
And traveled to many spaces
But of all my cases,
Your country’s are filled with the most disgrace
Cause in the US, even a virus will discriminate by race
Comorbidities have made Black bodies my primary resting place
Just face the honest facts
The cost of living’s a little too high when you’re living Black
Can’t afford, to stay home when your work is essential
Can’t afford, life-saving treatment when your life’s inconsequential
The disproportionate infection is not accidental
The corporate invasion of Black neighborhoods and pollution of their air
Has clear implications on their ability, to fight me
Warehouse fumes enter their lungs
To help me kill them off way quicker than guns
Funds of top polluters are so important to you,
You still allow toxic waste and mass deforestation
In the midst of a virus that attacks your respiration
This nation, is so far away from “Restoration”
So far away from making my curve flat
Because you believe it’s okay if it only hurts Blacks
And although I am your enemy, I must say I don’t encourage that
Because the thing about me is I always turn back
The first shall be the last and the last shall die first
So when I wipe out the Blacks, the whole country is cursed
But truth be told your fate’s been sealed before I landed
It’s too late I’m speaking candid,
But humans are so predictable, it’s just how I planned it
You only care about you, and that’s exactly why I’ve expanded
You saw the death early and you could’ve sent aid
But you saw it was in China so you quickly looked away
Thinking you’d be safe if you just stayed out the way
But that only made it certain I wouldn’t fade away
You’re as strong as the weak and as healthy as the ill
So when you let others die, it’s yourself you’re bound to kill
All health on earth is one, and I will continue to spread,
More loss, more sorrow, more people that’s dead
More tears, lost years, more trauma and strife
Til you get in your head
That the only way to survive is to protect EVERY life
