conversations.value: Write me a song called Language Barrier Interlude with the following description: This is the fifth song off my first project BLACK BOY. This song explores the beauty and the struggle of language as it pertains to our society. This song is also an ode to two of my literary heroes Toni Morrison and James Baldwin. The entire BLACK BOY project was created by myself during quarantine with just a microphone and a computer at home.Expand Share Make sure the lyrics are different from the original song.

  “We die, that may be the meaning of life
  But we do language, that may be the measure of our lives.”
  [Verse: Graphene]
  Language is the bridge yet the disconnector
  Separating worlds but yet intersecting
  The line between me and you
  I gotta say God made a hell of a move
  To make the body universal and a hell of tool
  To show you love me or that you’re in a hell of a mood
  And make you yearn for better places with a hell of a view
  Yeah a hell of a view
  That’s that conditioning that’s not for your hair
  Where you live your life wishing that you were more prepared
  By the schools and your parents
  Feel if they really cared
  They would’ve built you elevators instead of taking the stairs
  In life
  Disregarding that the rules weren’t fair for your people
  But you get taught that your mouth is a flare
  Yelling save me
  If you ever acknowledge it’s rare
  We ever run the same race like the tortoise and hare
  The shit different
  Man on everything I love I promise
  The shit different
  Had to say it twice so that all of y’all could see the difference
  Between the family of the victim and the family of the witness
  And the neighbor who called the cops cause they don’t ever mind they fucking business
  They’ll give you the run around if you don’t mind your fitness
  They passing these guns around just to watch them sentence
  Niggas to couple years
  Watch families shed cups of tears
  Word to James Baldwin our little brothers need repentance
  Yeah word to James Baldwin our little brothers need repentance
  Father God I know the things you do come with a purpose
  One day I know you’ll lift the veil and open the curtains
  So they can see into our culture but beyond the surface
  Cause when my sisters go in labor doc can’t see that see that she’s hurting
  I guess they can’t see that she’s hurting
  They either think she’s too strong or her life’s unimportant
  Well One thing is for certain
  If they learned our language like we learned theirs then they could probably save them a person
  Or two
  Or three [James Baldwin]
  “I am not a ward of America
  I am not an object of missionary charity
  I am one of the people who built the country
  Until this moment, there is scarcely any hope for the American dream
  Because the people who are denied participation in it, by their very presence will wreck it
  And if that happens, it’s a very grave moment for the West
  Thank you
