This is for the likes of Abner Louima
For the life of Philando Castile
Every victim of Hurricane Katrina
Praying that the Government would send a meal
Malcolm X and the King who was a dreamer
Every word that they said was only real
400 years they been waiting for their freedom
Then Kaepernick got shitted on because he kneeled
How many more lives taken without reasons
Rest in Peace to that boy Paul O'neal
Let's go play in the snow out in Cleveland
How quick they were to take the life of Tamir
Rice, This life is so precious
How could be taken by those that we pay to protect us
Leaving that party as if I'm Jordan Edwards
Thanksgiving with my boys poor Randy Evans
Jimmie Jackson Protest, Selma to Montgomery
The end result, they call it bloody Sunday
Hoods across America it's just another Monday
A million ways to die but it shouldn't be this 1 way
By the hands of the Law, our grandparents taught us all
Put our lives in the hands of the Lord
That's hard to tell the Fam Of Botham Jean
Who was chillin' in his own home so damn wrong
In 63 Martin Luther had a dream
In 91 they were beating on Rodney King
'03, '04 same things
Up until this present day George Floyd, David Mcatee.
Me and Alton Sterling shared the same dreams
Different colors but deserve the same things
United as a people playing on the same team
We can bring this here to life and no longer a day dream
I was bangin' out to my favorite playlist
I didn't die, you know why? I don't look like Jordan Davis
My only hope is that God is picking favorites
& has a special spot for killer cops burning next to Satin
What's happening in this country is so God awful
My prayers go out to poor John Crawford
Amadou Diallo & Eric Garner, Freddie Gray, Walter Scott and Trayvon Martin
Mike Brown hands up, don't shoot laid down
Corey Jones broke down got laid down
Right down the street from my children's playground
I'm at a loss for words what more can I say now
Except... Systematic oppression they let it happen
It's time to take the heads off all of these racist bastards
Step up to the Capitol demand the captain
It's not enough to hear the words All Black Lives Matter
We wanna see you aggressively taking action
Don't want to see no more names up in the rafters
2020 this will be the final chapter
God Bless the dead looking down upon us from the Rapture
We will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation
Into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood
With this faith we will be able to work together, to pray together
To struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together
Knowing that we will be free one day
