God as my witness from this point on I'm a light yea I'm a walking lamp
I guess I gotta be a lion to be the lamb I really am
We gon have to pick and choose and I stand for black lives
I ain’t never seen war that was won without no allies
We need you
We been in a pandemic before Covid-19
We been dodging lightning
But witnessing a death a knee to the neck that was the icing
I’ve been tryna process it now I strive for progress
It’s about yo skin color so a billionaire from the projects
Mayors being maced and if we all wore the same clothes
It’s a lot of prejudice just waiting to explode
Lyndon B Johnson yea he said it best
He said if poor whites think they better then Blacks then they wont ever stress
Life’s been a tough read and getting harder by the page
Donald Trump and Ice locking families in a cage
Breaking up families and got em tryna pay a fee
Like a cage ain’t enough, you give an inch and they start pulling teeth
Black lives matter
That's all I'm tryna say
Black lives matter
That's all I'm tryna say
I'm talking Black lives, Black lives, Black lives
Black heart, Black mind, Black love, and Black pride
Damn what we gotta do
We know all lives matter we tryna say black lives matter too
Black lives, Black lives, Black lives
Black heart, Black mind, Black love, and Black pride
Damn what we gotta do
We know all lives matter we tryna say black lives matter too
The system still racist and people still prejudice
Yea we got issues from congress to the president
It’s evident that we don’t get the same respect that y’all get
So many black lives taken America done turned into Auschwitz
I’m documenting everything now like I’m writing from an attic
My community is traumatized that’s why become combative
I’ve been profiled by police yea I’ve been harassed
Taking bout I fit the description but it’s because I’m Black
But we don’t trip because we’ve been conditioned
How we free but we still enslaved
How we walking contradictions
I be tryna not to hold a grudge, I’ve pushed and pulled by this pain
And Sandra Bland’s mug shot is etched in my brain
I’m just tryna break these chains
Black lives matter
That's all I'm tryna say
Black lives matter
That's all I'm tryna say
I'm talking Black lives, Black lives, Black lives
Black heart, Black mind, Black love, and Black pride
Damn what we gotta do
We know all lives matter we tryna say black lives matter too
Black lives, Black lives, Black lives
Black heart, Black mind, Black love, and Black pride
Damn what we gotta do
We know all lives matter we tryna say black lives matter too
