Lyrics
[Verse 1] It’s not ’bout me, it’s not ’bout you, It’s about the wounds that never heal through. It’s about pages torn from time, Truth in exile, buried in rhyme. It’s about the silence, cold and wide, Where history’s ghosts are forced to hide. Not for glory, not for clout, Just for saying what it’s about. [Chorus] What it’s about… Is the truth they drown. What it’s about… Is the breaking down. What it’s about… Is the cries unheard. What it’s about… Is the weight of words. [Verse 2] It’s about a felon crowned in gold, Feeding lies like they were soul. It’s about greed with a mask of grace, Selling fear to stay in place. It’s about schools that never taught, And cages built from every “ought.” It’s about naming what they shout, Then whispering "that’s what it’s about"… [Chorus] What it’s about… Is the ones they chain. What it’s about… Is the hidden pain. What it’s about… Is the smoke, the screen. What it’s about… Is what freedom means. [Bridge] It’s about the cost… of keeping still. The hush that bends a nation’s will. It’s not a choice to speak or not, It’s breath, it’s blood, it’s all we’ve got. They laugh and call it overblown, While prisons fill and hearts turn stone. But kindness cuts the deepest way, And truth, my love, don’t look away. [Final Chorus] What it’s about… Is the love that stays. What it’s about… Is the darker days. What it’s about… Is the voice inside. What it’s about… Is the will to rise. [Outro] So please… Speak while we still can… Before the silence Takes the land. That’s what it’s about. Yes… That’s what it’s about. [end]
