So many story’s untold so many dreams that’s gone Life end before they lived long dang that’s wrong As long as God remains the center then my faith can be strong But on that day death is meet I’m in that casket alone So everyday above ground is gratitude with my purpose Freedoms often preached at schools to Sunday service Does it rang true if black hue skin make you nervous Wanna get away jump up in my whip start swerving Riding round with my windows up 85 on the dash Wondering is this the dream are we really free at last Then you see the news another death by the cops hand Black man you ain’t free you better keep on marching Black lives matter I can’t breath Reform and reparations that is what we need This is Black lives matter yes all lives too But its Black lives blood splattered being shown on the news By the cops who took an oath to protect that’s true They violated that trust and they’re powers misused Maybe that could be the problem they got power issues A gun in a cowards hand bound to just be abused And I wanna have hope but it’s hard to connect When it’s shattered after taking 7 shots to the back Is it the color of our skin that you perceive as a threat Running up in houses shooting like the wild wild west And the nerve of this joker he ain't care about a video Putting on pressure didn’t show an ounce of pity bro Face in the concrete he cried for his mom This is murder in the first we just hope it’s a charge America be alarmed these cops a gang gang gang Guns drawn and will shoot quick bang bang bang Turn my anger into action frustration into passion After years of being under we moving making some traction Riding round with my windows up 85 on the dash Wondering is this the dream are we really free at last Then you see the news another death by the cops hand Black man you ain’t free you better keep on marching Black lives matter I can’t breath Reform and reparations that is what we need This is Black lives matter yes all lives too But its Black lives blood splattered being shown on the news You ever sit around mad dawg just for no reason Thoughts run around fast and your mind just steaming Trying to make some sense of this but your spirit is grieving Cause you can’t comprehend why we still getting this treatment Black man confrontation with a cop equals death They say freeze then shoot without you taking a step While I’m at it there’s another topic I should address Them Karen’s being nosey feeling like they must interject On they phone calling cops cause they feel we a threat Like the color of my skin is a criminal act Tearing down strongholds No division multiples We just go and grow Rise up don’t fold Don’t bend stay bold We gone win gotta know See the vision see the goal Bringing pressure figure four Changing laws with a vote We no longer standing for Silly racial anecdotes Media take note Here some things you can quote No more dreaming we are woke Time for action it’s gone show With this music bringing hope
