If We Can Cancel Artist Then We Can Cancel The N-word

If we can cancel Artist then we can cancel the N-word

Cancel culture is toxic in a sense that it doesn’t allow room for evaluation and growth.

But when it comes to the N word

I’m on team cancel it

I get the reclamation of the narrative and choosing how you want to change the power of words.

But in doing so you are separating the word from its maker.

If we can’t play Step In the Name of Love at a cookout

Then why should we continue to call black people by a name that wasn’t born with us but weaponized against us?

Now if there is a way to change the mind of the maker and watch as they develop into something more fruitful,

Then I think with growth comes rebirth

You shed your former layers and embrace new ones

You don’t put glitter on your old skin and slip it back on.

You rock the new one

Why can’t we use new words to describe the people of the diaspora

Why can’t we wear new names that we choose to glorify us?

Why must we try to force ourselves into last centuries terms

When everyday we choose new paths

New labels

New brands

New names

And all for the better

If something’s not right in cancel culture we cut it

But for some reason we can’t cut the N word

If cancel culture can reach back in time and take away St.Patricks Day, R.Kelly, and Gucci

Then it can cut, the N-Word

Only you can love you like you

Only you know what you need to hear

Sure it would be nice if someone else held your hand

If someone held you tight

If you didn’t have to cry from feeling alone

Because you weren’t

But you can be there for you

When you cry

Pick your head up

You can talk yourself up

Tell yourself to get up

You can do it

You can

By yourself

Love yourself like no one else

Love yourself more then a basic person could

Love yourself

Take care of yourself

Love yourself

Take care of yourself

Listen to yourself

Trust yourself

Listen to yourself

Trust yourself

Listen to yourself

Trust yourself

Listen when yourself says pick up this book

Pick up this paint brush

Pick up your head

Lift your voice

Focus

Be quiet

Stretch

Breathe

Breathe

Breathe

Breathe

It’s okay

Breathe

Breathe

Breathe

Youre here

Youre meant to be here

You have a purpose to fulfill

You will be rewarded

It’s okay

Just breathe

Just listen

This moment will pass

You can find peace in this moment

You can be at peace

This moment will pass

You will be at peace

Breathe

Breathe

Breathe

Listen yourself

Only you can love you like you

Only you know what you need

Breathe

I love you

I love you

I love you

I love you

I will care for you

I will make sure you’re okay

I will make sure nothing happens to you

I love you

I Will Never Again Speak Another Negative Word

I will say I can , instead of I can*t.

It’s no longer a word in my vocabulary.

God is great

God is good

We thank him Day in and day out

We thank you God

For loving me

I thank you Lord for loving us

You created the heavens and the Earth

You created the sky the moon and the stars

You gave life to human kind

And you gave life to me

Thank you Heavenly Father for choosing me

Thank you for the opportunity to love and to be loved

Thank you for deciding to experience this earth through my eyes

And thank you for never leaving me

Thank you for the warmth

Thank you for for the battles

What I go through I can help someone else with

What I have lived will make ripples in the world

Thank you God

Thank you for not giving me the sprit I’d fear

I can do all things through Christ Jesus who strengthens me

I can do all things because you live in me and you are the great I am

You are all things

You are the almighty and I thank you you

For being love

I thank you for loving everyone around me

Everything around me

Lord and Savior

I love you

I am a slave to your love

And I thank you

For slavery is redefined in your name

You are master for you are the greatest

You created and so you rule

I am not a disciple out of pain or force

But I choose to be loved

Unconditionally, I stand in your light

I stand in your rain because I love the way you rein

Father God I love you

And I love the love that allowed me to love

I thank you over and over

Endlessly

Nothing I could do could ever match what you’ve done .

But I can spend me days worshiping you and doing your work.

Loving because I was loved

Being a blessing because I was blessed

Allowing your light to shine through my vessel

Thank you

For even allowing me to share your light

Thank you for touching many through me

Thank you

Thank

You

Love

I Jesus almighty , all powerful, and ever lasting name

Amen
