Yuh
Black Lives Matter
Now and Forever
Aye
Code switching just to fit in
They finna look at me different
If I start speaking with accent and slang
The racism yeah it’s hidden
By the hands of God I was gifted
Shining bright cause of melanin my skin did
Black is beautiful, strong, intelligent, amazing So why can’t you let me be great then
Born at a disadvantage with these socio-economic conditions
Going crazy feeling frantic because of all the pain that we live in
And if you ain’t black then you really don’t understand the way we’re living
‘Cause the world tries to set us back in literally every instance
But i gotta fit into the white man’s world
No locs no twists no nunya
Can’t even express my culture
But y’all be the first to prey on it like vultures
Being black you take so many loses
So I pray to the lord up above us
That we’re no longer hated for our skin when That decision didn’t even involve us
But aye what can I say
I still love being black to this day
No i wouldn’t have it another way
Keeping my faith and my dignity
This is something that you can’t take away
And I’m tired of seeing the caution tape
Around the bodies of my brothers and sisters
Since day 1 we been fighting the system
Keep us low and oppressed that’s their agenda
Struggle for so long we don’t know who’s with us
So we gotta make a difference
Protesting and addressing all these microaggressions
It’s time we put these cops in questions
They say you supposed to protect and serve
But all you do is go back on your word
Kneeing our necks and then shooting at us and Beating us up till we dead on the curb
R.I.P. George Floyd Breonna Taylor and all of our fallen angels
Your halo will always remain with you
We just want justice but it feels like it’s just us
Enough is enough
We’re tired the mammas they're crying
We’re grieving inside where can we find comfort
We try to bring change so we protest but y’all paint it all as violent
And y’all caring more about the items than the reasons why we riot
4 centuries of oppression no it will not just end in silence
‘Cause I promise if we were not treated like this then there would be no violence
But still look at who’s starting a lot of it
White extremists and the anti-fascists
And in some cases even the cops did
But y’all will never ever blame them
All y’all do is demonize black people
Getting killled even when we act peaceful
Barge in our homes, abuse us, and shoot us
It’s like y’all forget we are people
Y’all look down upon us so deceitful
We never get treated as equals
So therefore I question the sequel
What will it take you to see we’re equal
Being black in america is like a death note that waiting to be ticketed
Because yes they will kill you solely on the fact of the color of your pigment
Now wayment
Arrest the cops that killed Breonna Taylor I don’t know why y’all didn’t
Even after the chaos and protests y’all still refusing to listen
And I also don’t get
Why we gotta prove murders that happen
On camera for all to witness
It’s really backwards isn’t it
America and it’s corrupt standards
I really can’t stand it
But we all gotta stand up
And maybe one day we can change it
We just want justice but it feels like it’s just us
Enough is enough
We’re tired the mammas they're crying
We’re grieving inside where can we find comfort
Justice
It’s just us
Enough is enough
We’re tired the mammas they’re crying
We’re grieving inside where can we find comfort
Where can we find comfort
Where can we find comfort
When the world is against us
When the world is against us
When the world is against us
Against us
But it’s forever
Black Lives Matter
Black Lives Matter
You might shake us and break us but we won’t ever shatter
I say, Black Lives Matter
Black Lives Matter
You might shake us and break us but we won’t ever shatter, no
God bless your souls
I said, God bless your souls
BLACK LIVES MATTER
BLACK LIVES MATTER
BLACK LIVES MATTER
BLACK LIVES MATTER
