Modesty sometimes means to shine
Because it would be false not to
I wanted to pummel y’all into the ground
With my pain
I wanted everyone to know the sound
Rain makes when it cries
When seven generations has come and gone
And still the sins of the fathers remain
As a curse on the land
And on me
My ancestors walked
But their troubles began
Long before that
But now at least the rain has stopped for me
Now I see with my own eyes
The sun has been shining all along
All this time
And the sun SHINES
Because
It would be false modesty not to
