I Matter

I can’t breathe Let me live There’s more to my life than this When will my life be considered equal I can’t run I can’t sleep Why can’t I walk down the street Everyday it feels like there’s another sequel My life matters Why do you see a threat My life matters You judge me and we never met So much inequality, racism, police brutality I matter My life matters I’m invisible unless there’s someone to cast the blame on Not seen for my value But simply one you can blame for All of the ills of society To shoulder the weight of the community Guilty til proven innocent The price of proof may be my death Where’s the justice We demand justice My life matters Why do you see a threat My life matters You judge me and we never met So much inequality, racism, police brutality I matter My life matters You matter Your life matters We matter Our lives matter I matter My life matters
