Hush money

Hush money
Don’t make it a big deal
Keep your mouth shut…

Tell me is that a good thing?

Place your green paper
In your hand only to
Keep a secret…

Then go on about your business….
Which is sad, uncomfortable….

Why the hush money?
Why the hush?
Right after your friend
Or loved one got killed
Maybe and those billionaires told you
They give you money if you don’t expose
If you don’t ruin their reputation….

You took the cash and run…
I’m like where’s your integrity?
Where’s your self respect?
Hush money is just fuckin paper….
All it is power….

Nobody thought of that,
It’s power…
Seems like you don’t give a damn
About the cause,
You’re afraid to die….
You’re afraid to be more riot than ever….

It’s been like this forever
Especially when I hear about
Black bodies being killed
And the lawyer says let’s be quiet
About it…here’s a big check to spend….
Sayin no more protest…No more
Still white killers walked freely…

I rather hate hush money….
It’s never right thing to do…
It’s like gamblin with somebody’s broken heart
Somebody’s grief…
Again, it’s all power….major power…💰✊🏿💯🤬©️ Kai C. 12-16-24
