My People Cry My People Cry each and every time That we lose another black life My people cry For every siren for every blue light Because to be black is still a crime My People Cried For 400 years to be precise Yet you say to forget but at what price Because My people have tried To just live their ordinary lives Where they are punished for being black While you are rewarded for being white My people have died Yet we are still to see the light That dream still to be seen with our eyes The same one for which our king died So now Our kings and queens must rise 400 hundreds years on we are still not free So I ask you alll when will we be No longer the victim Imprisoned by a system Where we keep on losing While the oppressors are winning For we are black but we are human And our patience is thinning I see the riots, I see the looting I hear a 4 hundred year old song my people singing When will you let my people go Wary eyed but my people please do not lose hope For we climb that mountain of despair It will no longer matter if ya skin be dark Or if your skin be fair You will be judged upon the content of character And not by the contents of your skin When Black Lives Matter All Lives will Win So please do not let them press that knee They can no longer suppress They will hear our voices they will hear our dream As they heard our cries and heard our distress They to will longer be able to breath Till racism has had its last breathe For we do not seek revenge but we demand Liberation Not compensation but reparations For now is the time To get up stand up and rise Put up a fight for your rights It has been a long time coming But together we stand no longer running My people a change is coming And that change will come So keep on shouting beating that drum Til our battle is won For we are black and we are proud They will hear it from the hilltops in the valleys way past the clouds Black is beautiful and Black is just wow Black is everything so please do not doubt For we overcome when others do not know how We have smiled in the face of pain Been free even in their chains Liberated even in the oppression we are against See a change is in these waters Not matter who comes in the way We will not sit down and follow orders This tide will no longer sway For our people have been hung slung lynched shot and left for slaughtered But not our sons sons or our daughters daughters See enough is enough For We are no longer your slaves For you to abuse, beat up So masters we shall not obey For this is the time for change We no longer play your games For our own people we will create And if you are to remain silent You are complicit in the violence In the mountain my people are climbing Now Time is running out Time for actions, not words with our mouths For this is our time of hour Now is not the time to cower Stand with ya fist shout black power For together we stand, divided we fall Lets end my peoples cries once and for all
