Guns for Minars Lyrics by Jasmine Mans

2013

Son, you protect what's holy.
This land is yours.
Don't let these men shape-shift your backbone into dust.
Blood has decorated these streets so long,
they've begun to look like pastures of rose pedals.
Black boys have gotten so fed up with their prayers drowning by bedsides,
they load their guns into the sky to make sure God is listening.
We are the chalk outlines of snow angels
breathe like death is lurking on the edge of our spleens,
We dance in the wind to crackles of gunshots,
jerk bodies back like God is head puppeteer of this destruction.
Our voices bend and crack in the wind between fair and park swings.
There is a guardian angel that lost the directions to salvation
and a mother who clasped the new testament too tight for the heavens to take responsibility.
There is a God who choked on promises
and a Jesus who didn't die for enough of them.
Death looks too much like children who slipped past God's peripheral.
Maybe some of us are too premature for a tomorrow.
Maybe we've been dancing on the edge of God's sanity for too long,
some casualties of genocide look to familiar not to scream.
When man,
When man stops learning,
he begins to hate himself.
When man begins to hate himself,
nothing looks familiar.
We are just niggas.
No sling shots, just triggers
aiming at what ever Goliath that wants to tell us we ain't real here.
Son, choose your land
and make it holy
and don't let them take it from you.
