First and foremost, let me say rest in peace to George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and everybody else that we've lost during this epidemic of police violence
This is a long standing problem and if y'all don't get it, you about to get it
Just understand that black lives matter
Listen
Love thy neighbor, I think about this phrase often
And honestly, all of this conflict, is exhausting
That comes from my privilege, I can ignore this if I'd like to
Like every other person on the globe that is white too
That's the privilege, we don't have to live in fear
We don't have to walk on egg shells just to be here
We don't have to teach our children how to interact with cops
Or how they might die during a fucking traffic stop
We don't have to really care about injustice in the least
We don't have to get on board with no justice, no peace
We don't have to give a damn our neighbors dying in the streets
But you muhfuckas mad cause Kaepernick took a knee
It's sickening to me, and I really don't get it
All you bitching about heritage, really sound pathetic
You don't ever see the history in context in full
But rather cherry pick the parts that make your narrative whole
This is oppression, plain and simple, the evidence is clear
George calling to his mother, nearly had me in tears
It was the same with Tamir, cause I picture my own son
In his place, just for playing with his air soft guns
How can you see these fucking tragedies and shrug like it's nothing
How can you see these people dying and not wanna do something
You open up your bible but don't open your heart
Understand that revolution is where the change starts
I don't understand why white folks are offended
When these systems are challenged, unless you're being complicit
Black lives matter isn't saying more than you
It's people of color saying that they matter too
All of your Confederate flags and monuments to its generals
Being removed from the public should be considered minimal
The prisons overflow due to stigmas and racists
Who'd rather lock up a black dealer, than lock up a white rapist
White mass murderers are taken without harm
While black suspects are shot as they hold up their arms
If you don't see this is a problem then it's cause you don't want to
And you deserve the heat when non racists come confront you
To my people of color, you're strength's unmatched
Know that many of us support and we're here to have your backs
I stand in solidarity with my neighbors in minority
We keep up the good fight, in the face of authority
F*ck these cops with heavy hands, itchy fingers on the trigger
F*ck anybody using that word that rhymes here
It's no justice, no peace, that's the way it's gotta be
Until we're all considered equal, there will be no defeat
We see you, we hear you, we're coming to your aid
We ain't letting anybody get in the way
Only thing that's left to say is enough is enough
Signing off, sincerely yours, it's 3ird, with love
