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
