Martin's Nightmare
Martin had a dream
But this his nightmare
Martin had a dream
He dreamed, one day we all be equal
One day y'all would see us as people
He led marches and sit ins
His method was doing it peaceful
Won't lie that gained us some way
They even gave him a day
But after his sermon I seen the mountain top they took him away
They out here killing us
when it come to rights they ain't feeling us
With all the tension that's building up
The wound too deep it ain't healing up
They don't hear us when we quit
Media calling us thugs when we riot
If you don't know what it's like to be black in America educate yourself or be quit
Can't speak on what we go through
If you don't know what it's like in our shoes
I swear everything I turn on the tv it's another wrong Black Death on the news
We just what dignity and respect
But these cops see us as threats
He said "I Can't Breathe" but he still kept his knee in his neck
We walking around with a target on our back
That thought just make me tear up
That's why these young niggas mad running In Target tearing it up; Looting
We got our hands up but the still shooting
They lynching us and they getting away
Most of these cops judges lawyers still the KKK
No justice no peace
They killing us dead in the street
Now we calling for war
It's too much blood on the floor
It's too much blood on the floor
Now we calling for war
It's too much blood on the floor
No justice no peace
They killing us dead in the street
Now we calling for war
It's too much blood on the floor
It's too much blood on the floor
It's too much
Martin had a dream
But this his nightmare
Martin had a dream
But this his nightmare
Martin had a dream
He dreamed, one day we all be equal
One day y'all would see us as people
He led marches and sit ins
His method was doing it peaceful
Won't lie that gained us some way
They even gave him a day
But after his sermon I seen the mountain top they took him away
They out here killing us
when it come to rights they ain't feeling us
With all the tension that's building up
The wound too deep it ain't healing up

If you don't know what it's like to be black in America educate yourself or be quit

It's too much blood on the floor

It's too much blood on the floor
No justice no peace
They killing us dead in the street
Now we calling for war
It's too much blood on the floor
It's too much blood on the floor
It's too much
Martin had a dream
But this his nightmare
Martin had a dream
