Smoke
If all lives matter, then point it out
The real problem, we say it proud
That black lives matter, expressing pain
Tired of oppression and something's gonna change
Not just for George and Briana
'Cause there is a long list I know you ain't fond of
We're not wrong for seeking revenge
What we want the world to understand
Is if you cut us down the middle
We all bleed the same
Yeah, we want peace
But we still want all the smoke
We've been held down for too long
Held back for too long
Yeah, we want peace
But we still want all the smoke
We've been held down for too long
We've been held back for too long
I pledge allegiance to the melanin around the world
We are the inspiration, motivation, the source of the world
The skin that we're in is not a weapon
Still, they killin' all of us (killin' all of us) so we gotta stand up
Not just for George and Briana
'Cause there is a long list I know you ain't fond of
We're not wrong for seeking revenge
What we want the world to understand
Is if you cut us down the middle
We all bleed the same
Yeah, we want peace
But we still want all the smoke
We've been held down for too long
Held back for too long
Yeah, we want peace
But we still want all the smoke
We've been held down for too long
We've been held back for too long
Yeah, we want peace
But we still want all the smoke
We've been held down for too long
Held back for too long
Yeah, we want peace
But we still want all the smoke
We've been held down for too long
We've been held back for too long
All we want is equality
No justice so you know there's no peace
We want the smoke
The real problem, we say it proud
That black lives matter, expressing pain
Tired of oppression and something's gonna change
Not just for George and Briana
'Cause there is a long list I know you ain't fond of
We're not wrong for seeking revenge
What we want the world to understand
Is if you cut us down the middle
We all bleed the same
Yeah, we want peace
But we still want all the smoke
We've been held down for too long
Held back for too long
Yeah, we want peace
But we still want all the smoke
We've been held down for too long
We've been held back for too long
I pledge allegiance to the melanin around the world
We are the inspiration, motivation, the source of the world
The skin that we're in is not a weapon
Still, they killin' all of us (killin' all of us) so we gotta stand up
Not just for George and Briana
'Cause there is a long list I know you ain't fond of
We're not wrong for seeking revenge
What we want the world to understand
Is if you cut us down the middle
We all bleed the same
Yeah, we want peace
But we still want all the smoke
We've been held down for too long
Held back for too long
Yeah, we want peace
But we still want all the smoke
We've been held down for too long
We've been held back for too long
Yeah, we want peace
But we still want all the smoke
We've been held down for too long
Held back for too long
Yeah, we want peace
But we still want all the smoke
We've been held down for too long
We've been held back for too long
All we want is equality
No justice so you know there's no peace
We want the smoke
