Rap For MLK Day


It’s Monday morning
And I’m still a snoozin
Didn’t set the alarm
Now daylight I’m losin

I’m sleepin in
Didn’t mean to slack
But I wuz feelin’ so tired
I stayed flat on my back

And now I’m thinkin’
Bout what’s sposed to be
About the one who marched
So all could be free

Oh MLK
Jes cuz I’m in bed
Don’t mean I’m not thinkin’ bout the cause you led
Hey MLK, you see I’m meditatin’
Bout peace and justice for those still waitin’

Yes it’s a powerful thang
These prayers I’m sendin’
Can’t you see how hard I’m concentratin?
That’s why my eyes are closed, my eyes are closed
That’s why my eyes are closed and my eyelids are fluttering
That’s why I look so relaxed and my jaw is slack
And my mouth is droppin’ open
See I got the knack
I got the knack I got the knack
I got the knack…
Igot the…
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Zzzzzzzzzzz
Zzzz
Zzz

Wha?
Must have nodded off.
I had a dream.
I mean I HAVE a DREAM.
Cuz I’m ON it
The peace and justice thang
And I’m meditatin’ for it
I’m like hope on a wing
Cuz I’m hip, I’m fly
And I understand why
And I’m reflectin’ on the day
Gonna go all the way
And I’m usin’ my head
That’s why I’m in bed

So here’s to you MLK
You showed us the way
And it’s a powerful thang
On which I'm meditatin'
That’s why my eyes are closed, my eyes are closed
That’s why my eyes are closed and my eyelids are fluttering
That’s why I look so relaxed and my jaw is slack
And my mouth is droppin’ open
See I got the knack
I got the knack I got the knack
I got the knack…
Igot the…
I got
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Zzzzzzzzzzz
Zzzz
Zzz
