We overshadowed Corona virus, protesting in these streets If we don’t get justice i promise y’all won’t get no peace Blacks done suffered so much under this flag I’m praying for the day it will no longer have fly What if I told u I’m not free what would u say The flag y’all stand for oppresses black people everyday Soldiers that fought for our freedom are turning in their graves What did we do to u people to experience so much hate All my black brothers and sisters we stand together that's the key and When we fight, we’ll stay planted and standing strong just like a tree We gotta make em hear us and feel us by shouting I can't breathe And keep fighting against injustice until that we feel that we are free There’s a lot I gotta say, don’t be ashamed of yo own race Blacks never been scared to stand up and look evil right In the face Even white folks protesting standing up for the black race and When we stand together, they can’t stop us cus unity is what they hate Dr. King said rioting is the language of the unheard It ain’t right that but it seems like that’s the only way that we're heard Some folks was sleep I must admit, y’all had sum of our vision blurred Now we awoke and we see clear, now my people won’t be deterred Y’all told us if we peacefully protest yall guarantee we’ll be safe But as we seen over and over again that ain’t the case We have the right to assemble at any time or any place Most were peaceful they don’t deserve pepperballs teargas and mace We’re fighting back now cus we’re tired of being treated unjust But y’all try to shut us down when fight back or speak up Y'all just power-hungry and y'all just want the power over us Pepper balls and teargas ain’t how You gain the community’s trust What if I told u I’m not free what would u say The flag y’all stand for oppresses black people everyday Soldiers that fought for our freedom are turning in their graves What did we do to u people to experience so much hate All my black brothers and sisters we stand together that's the key and When we fight, we’ll stay planted and standing strong just like a tree We gotta make em hear us and feel us by shouting I can't breathe And keep fighting against injustice until that we feel that we are free If we’re going to stand up we have to talk about the uncomfortable facts Like how we tote a gun, not for a white man but for a black Cus my brothas be hating on each other that shit is wack We at war with ourselves while being under attack The world would be a place if we all stood up for what’s right It’s blacks vs racism, it’s really not blacks vs whites We scream black lives matter, cus we don’t have the same rights And cause the ones persecuted and executed are black lives Being a black man in America i’m scared to get put on trial With all this pain in my heart I swear it be hard to smile If I gave you my shoes I promise you couldn’t walk a mile I'm against a racist system that’s been after me since a Juvenile Jake had ill intensions at his business toting a flame Don’t justify his actions he got away with murder that’s a shame If there’s no justice there’s no peace now say all the victims names They tried to burn his business down and watch it go up in flames What if I told u I’m not free what would u say The flag y’all stand for oppresses black people everyday Soldiers that fought for our freedom are turning in their graves What did we do to u people to experience so much hate All my black brothers and sisters we stand together that's the key and When we fight, we’ll stay planted and standing strong just like a tree We gotta make em hear us and feel us by shouting I can't breathe And keep fighting against injustice until that we feel that we are free Hey man this was the tipping point for us man Rest in peace George Floyd, rest in peace James Scurlock This is why Colin Kaepernick was kneeling It was to protest injustice and oppression against Black people and minorities in America This was never about disrespecting the flag or our fallen soldiers We’re not saying that all lives don’t matter of course all lives matter All lives are being persecuted executed it’s black lives and minority lives We are also targeted economically but this was the last straw for us we’re fighting back and Y’all won’t get no peace until we start gettin justice
