Letra da Música Zeke's Poem (I am the One) de The Get Down (série)

Boom then crash, the shattering of glass
I dive to the floor, busting my ass
What a hell was that?
Was all that I said
Then I see the pool of blood
Then I see my mom she was dead
No emotion in the commotion
I wasn't even sad
Even when I learned
The bullet was meant for my dad
Vietnam made paps crazy
He was already half-dead
So why couldn't that'd be him
That got shot in the head?
All the news that fits the print
Momma's death went unreported
Not a whiff or word or hint
They don't care about us niggas
Is how my paps explained it
But I didn't know I was a nigga
'Till my dad proclaimed it
Six months later my paps was dead too
Drug-related shots fired
His skin turned cold blue
On the news that night
The President's wife got a new hair-do
The news guy said "I like it how about you? "
No word on Cbs, why was that you ask?
Take a fucking guess
And yeah why is that
That's what politicians should be asking
But who got time for questions
When you all skiing up on Aspen?
Broos get gunshots to the head
And all y'all serving us is Asprin
My momma was so lovely
She'd have made your head spin
Level the playing field
And y'all will see who'll really win
And yeah I got anger
But I don't let it take me down
My momma taught me better
And she holds me up when I fall down
Rest in peace moms, don't worry about your son
Someday I'll make you proud because
Yeah I am the one
