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
