While BLM painting murals
Marching with mouses and squirrels
Families left broke
Local activists in choke holds
From activists who sold their souls
Democrats in their pockets full with holes
Divid and conquer damn that is so cold
Worldwide Disability community it’s about time
To make them listen to our rhythms
Krip-Hop bi-Line
It’s more than music
Take these krip licks
Still the same story
Invisibility our disability
From activists, reporters and lawyers
So it continues in 2020
Blind and I’m force to see reality
