When I'm Gone
Location
When I die, my body will become the grass
When I’m gone, there will be a crack on the glass
My spirit will be an overwhelming mass
And my footsteps will cause an earthquake in class
The beautiful day my heart stops beating
The children in Africa will start eating
The mistakes of my past won’t be repeating
And the ink on my paper won’t be deleting
Everyone will remember my beliefs
They will lie next to the loud ocean reefs
Unremovable blood stains on panties and briefs
My story will impact leaders and chiefs
I will be remembered at least once every day
Hearts will be molded with my play-doh clay
My mother and enemies will all pay
But in my soul, my dad will forever stay
I’ll become the grass and I’ll lay down low
Although they’ll step on me, I’ll always grow
Every day will be tender and slow
The moment I die, everyone will know
They’ll remember the trust they had in me
I’ll be saved from the world’s chains, I’ll be free
The evil near my loved ones will forever flee
I will become the grass and the leaves on the tree
