No justice no peace It’s been one too many Need justice to be served to just us All lives can’t matter till black do Tired of funerals & candle light vigils Burning us cuz we some lit individuals Another cry, somebody die It’s like some missiles Shot through our heart by some officer’s wit deadly pistols The only ones who see black & white, them blue officials Now RIP is somebody else’s initials We need y’all to be refs & start blowing mo whistles Have a presence so these dirty coppers get dismissals, uh People always judging, saying that we vigilant Downplaying our feelings & our predicament But all silence is violence, non innocent Let’s come together & make a plan that’s legitimate, yeah People always judging, saying that we vigilant Downplaying our feelings & our predicament But all silence is violence, non innocent Let’s come together & make a plan that’s legitimate Need justice to be served to just us Need justice to be served to just us Need justice to be served to just us Need justice to be served to just us I said hey queen, hey king I see you! All lives can’t matter till black do Hey queen, hey king I see you! All lives can’t matter till black do We built this country but get treated like an immigrant And then they wonder why we extra militant & vigilant It’s hard to live ya best life when the danger easily imminent So if you know wassup, turn up the light, don’t keep on dimmin' it We seen this show way too many times, discontinue it You comfortable in privilege & that’s what’s been condemning it But I learned to put faith over doubt, give them the benefit Cuz black history barely taught in schools, it’s very limited Rather dumb how our curriculum's are so manipulated But there’s not much that we coulda done to be preventative In this man’s world that deviated from what God created Think it’s high time to lead the charge & take initiative Initially, they castrated black men Emmett Till And that’s why we weezy f strapped, dirty or concealed We got our balls & the word & yeen taking that Imagine if what us did for USA was all taken back Tired of funerals & candle light vigils Burning us cuz we some lit individuals Another cry, somebody die It’s like some missiles Shot through our heart by some officer’s wit deadly pistols Don’t support us but you really call yo self a Christian Then you wonder why we steady questioning yo mission Yahweh stands for righteousness & right decisions Cuz till they cut it out, we dealing wit random incisions, uh People always judging, saying that we vigilant Downplaying our feelings & our predicament But all silence is violence, non innocent Let’s come together & make a plan that’s legitimate, yeah People always judging, saying that we vigilant Downplaying our feelings & our predicament But all silence is violence, non innocent Let’s come together & make a plan that’s legitimate, aye Need justice to be served to just us Need justice to be served to just us Need justice to be served to just us Need justice to be served to just us Need justice to be served to just us All lives can’t matter till black do Need justice to be served to just us All lives can’t matter till black do People always judging, saying that we vigilant Downplaying our feelings & our predicament But all silence is violence, non innocent Let’s come together & make a plan that’s legitimate I said hey queen, hey king I see you! All lives can’t matter till black do Hey queen, hey king I see you! All lives can’t matter till black do High key invaded our psyche but you know that was planned Ain’t no coincidence, nah that ignorance is now banned And I ain’t rooting for looting but show some empathy And feel the same pain running thru our brain, that’s that telepathy We cold cause it gets old looking back over our shoulder b Officers intentionally evoking & provoking me Swear I’m tryna take the high road & just make it down the street Hear the boys approaching, tighten up, we gotta be discreet Or me & Yahshua could have a early meet n greet Another brotha beat into the concrete like some seasoned meat Death bed made by an undercover hiding under plundered sheets Majority of minorities got trust issues wit police Who could make these problems seem petite, completely baffling Since Genesis, 400 years they tried to break us on repeat So I’m breakin records till obituaries obsolete I know we gotta die but it ain’t gotta happen tragically Tired of funerals & candle light vigils Burning us cuz we some lit individuals Another cry, somebody die It’s like some missiles Shot through our heart by some officer’s wit deadly pistols And plus the way they do our women, you gotta be kiddin Just running up them casualties, yeen gotta be sprintin We built to tolerate the pain cause we strong as Ben Simmons But you can’t torture us, we are no longer yo minions People always judging, saying that we vigilant Downplaying our feelings & our predicament But all silence is violence, non-innocent Let’s come together & make a plan that’s legitimate, yeah People always judging, saying that we vigilant Downplaying our feelings & our predicament But all silence is violence, non-innocent Let’s come together & make a plan that’s legitimate, aye Need justice to be served to just us Need justice to be served to just us Need justice to be served to just us Need justice to be served to just us Need justice to be served to just us All lives can’t matter till black do Need justice to be served to just us All lives can’t matter till black do People always judging, saying that we vigilant Downplaying our feelings & our predicament But all silence is violence, non innocent Let’s come together & make a plan that’s legitimate I said hey queen, hey king I see you! All lives can’t matter till black do Hey queen, hey king I see you! All lives can’t matter till black do
