Act III: The Prominent Lyrics by Benny Universe

Memorandums of Babylon

2020

[opening news dialogue]
We anticipate improved visibility over the south due to more moisture influx into the area, and as such, mist and fog patches are expected in the early hours of the m-
[verse 1: Prince Omoba]
If I told you all the truth do you think I would die
Do you believe what's on the news or do you see the lies
I hear the cries of a mother and her beaten child
Rivers of blood have been flowing like the river Nile
You can lose your mind
But Ima touch the sky
I'm a sеrvant to my GOD a servant to Christ
And I just give this shit my all I give it my lifе
I don't believe in holding guns or taking a life
But I believe if you do wrong then you can do right
Nothing left when you making the last turns of your life
Facing death is an event that's assured in your life
Right Now someone tell me why we protesting Coronavirus
Senselessly promoting violence
People talking like they've never even known a problem
Well I'm about to solve em
I'm screaming Black Lives Matter
And Karen's out of pocket
But If I raise my voice they'll do me in like A$AP Rocky
[Conversation: Prince Omoba + Toni Adeyemi]
Tell me someone you look up to and why
I've been trying to look up to myself honestly recently because I realized that if I always look up to other people that kinda means I'm down always trying to get somewhere else so I've really been trying to find reasons to admire myself and also find the reasons to not admire myself and that way I can keep looking up, keep progressing and going forward and start to really see myself as everchanging
[verse 2: Benny Universe]
Yeah
Nobody wanna talk about it
I guess we rather copy/paste than retweet
I think they rather be me than see me shine
Another work of art on my screen, underpaid, you made a dollar on my dime
Feel like I'm running out of time
I really hate the narrative
I can't breathe
I’ll do my time for pushin Claritin
Throw away the key, break a rib to make my own
Looking in the mirror, everything I say is stone
So I watch it all shatter
Yea I seen the blood splatter
Does my black life matter if the problem’s in the batter
We just watch it bake, compliments to Sallie Mae
Dessert on my dinner, can’t afford to get the steak
Why we call it devil’s cake, Yea it’s more than just a name
Maybe I just need change, Yeah
400 years a slave but can’t put that on my resume
[ending dialogue: Benny Universe]
My name is Bennett Ebuka Okanume
I think everybody deserves life
Everyone deserves a second chance
And every day is a new start
I deserve human rights because I am a human being
