I am Izell Robinson, Minnesota inmate number 210006, an innocent man confined within the quadrilaterals of systemic injustice, fighting to be heard and affect positive change. Yet to accomplish success, I need you to listeners to hear me and act, so I’m only asking if I could be heard and count on you to act.
As a prisoner, I do my best to preserve my humanity and sanity, and artistic expression is a way that I do that, so today, I’ll be performing a piece called “Forever You’ll Be Mine.”
Haha, yes! Remember me? It’s Gnik. I’ve been on lock for a minute, but I still need love. I mean, everybody needs love, so I hope you think of me still. I mean, I’ve been losing my mind in here, but all I can do is keep praying and hold onto my faith that God got me and I’m going to be all right. No matter what, I keep love close and safe in my heart. So I only can imagine the best for my future, and hopefully that’ll happen soon.
Mental castles won’t do, crown ain’t nothing new
The dark throne been due, a royalty like few
A king like me, a queen like you
From a different brew, that’s why the love’s true
Caress you if you blue until your tears true
Notice the flame grew, maybe this a clue?
Wet sweet morning dew tastes like fresh root
Element of the time like stars we shine, never hard to find
Feelings one of a kind, trace from hardlines painted to be designed
Lemonade and pink lime, the heights you will climb
Work becomes a sign, and forever you’ll be mine
Floating on the dreams of my mind, when we’re together
Forgetting time, endless memories with no caution signs
No longer a joke to say forever you’ll be mine
Go ahead and laugh, cause with me, you know happiness ain’t hard to find
And I do what I can to see you smile, if I can keep you from crying
It doesn’t matter about being sick when I can be your health to keep you from dying
I hope you can see that this love isn’t blind
Because beauty may be most important within, but you sure are fine
Just know you stole my heart, and I don’t consider that a crime
Because at the end of the day, you’ll forever be mine
You’ll forever be mine
You’ll forever be mine
You’ll forever be mine
Yeah, at the end of the day, I said you’ll forever be mine
You’ll forever be mine
You’ll forever be mine
You’ll forever be mine
Uh, yeah. I hope you enjoy that. Once again, I could be emailed through the JPay app or website, just insert Minnesota for state and 210006 for ID number, or you can mail me directly at Izell W. Robinson #210006, 7600 525th Street, Rush City, MN, 55069.
