Feel the beat, feel the beat
You will not defeat me
With your words, it's absurd
That you think your words
Could break me down
I will
Make no sound
And I will
Win and begin to change
The path with the wrath
Of my silence, you can take
Your violence and defiance
For respect and try to reject
Me and my peers
But No one will hear
your voice
And your choice to hate
Tolerance is the way, no,
You're words can't take
My sunshine away I'm okay
It is you who is weak
For you speak
With no love but with hate
And I sit, and I wait
For the day when you hear
What you say
And realize
It's not the way you should go
And I know
That day will arrive
And drive out your fears
And you will hear ME
And you will see MY tears
For I am sad that you
Have to hate me,
Don't you see?
I am an example of diversity
Look around, all around
I am not alone, I am home
And I am known
For the love that I share
And how little I care
For your words
That are meant to hurt
But are not heard
By me
They do not bring me
Anywhere I do not wish to be
Because I am strong
As I walk along
Walk above the letters
Forming thoughts that come
Out of your mouth
Shout all you want,
But don't ever doubt
My power to devour
Your hate
Which will be your fate
Not mine, I will be fine
As I color outside of the lines
Of society
And how I'm supposed to be
I am no one but me
And I am free
But are you?
Your hatred has you in chains
Stuck in the rain
With nothing to gain
Feeling cold but too bold
To admit that you're wrong
And have been all along
Look in the mirror,
And I hope you see
What you want to see
And not some disgusting
Thing you would not want
To be
A picture tells a thousand words
That are seen and heard
By everyone and anyone
Who looks at you
How do you want to be viewed?
As someone who has no respect?
Is that what you wish to reflect?
If that's so, just know
That you cannot hurt me
With words that flow
So ignorantly toward
Something you don't even know
But think you do
Yes, it's true that I am
different from you
But I deserve the same
I won't be blamed
For being me
And I won't be shamed
For feeling free
To be
Me.
Open your eyes
A little wider
And maybe
You'll start to see
That even you
Are a part of diversity
Because it is everywhere
So go ahead and stare
And glare
As I walk on by
And hold my head high
And leave behind
Your words
That have withered and died.
Ba boom, ba boom,
Feel the beat, feel the beat.
Respect yourself, respect each other, respect the world.
