BLACK LIVES MATTER

Yeah
Before I give in
They'll have to drag me off by my feet
400 Years and again
It's a problem when they see me
They see the color of my skin
I gotta make'em remember the name
I'm standing tall in the wind
Maybe they'll listen when they see the flames
When it's gon change?
We got ignorants in every race
All of my ancestors pain
I feel they tears running down my face
I got some ppl lookin to me
I got the torch they follow they see
I'm on the road I'm in the streets
Marching for purpose man I'm bringing heat
I gotta show'em they gotta see
Where is the justice for Ari McCree
Nah fr I'm shedding light
They goin to hell for Jarrell white
Before that u know me
You see that I'm black
Physical slavery
We ain't goin back
I am my ppl
I am they voice
Speak up for change
I got no choice
Why my lil cousin he Scared of the 12
He only 12 man what the hell
I'm sick and tired of all these racists
Instead of change they hide they faces
System oppression it's comin down
Ain't no more circus acts I am no clown
Why should we ask for racist to end
Ain't no more askin ni we finna spin
Before I give in
They'll have to drag me off by my feet
400 Years and again
It's a problem when they see me
They see the color of my skin
I gotta make'em remember the name
I'm standing tall in the wind
Maybe they'll listen when they see the flames
Will I get shot for jogging while black
Running from Cops get u shot one the back
I swear this country be stacking the deck
Sometimes it feel like a knee on my neck
My mama and daddy they raised me right
Never to judge by vision or sight
Only to hold'em by they intention
I took a knife and cut the tension
My people that know me
They know that I'm fair
I took the bar
And put it up there
I never judge the color of skin
Hold'em accountable by what's within
I'll say they names to hold'em down
Tamir Rice to Micheal Brown
From Walter Scott to Freddie Gray
Each of they lives taken away
Philando Castile Breonna Taylor
Never divide don't be a hater
Stephon Clark to George Floyd
I'll take the liberty fillin this void
From Botham Jean to Alton Sterling
All of my ppl they down and they hurting
I gotta purpose
They purpose
Everyone matters
Nobody's worthless
Before I give in
They'll have to drag me off by my feet
400 years & again
It's a problem when they see me
They see the color of my skin
I gotta make'em remember the name
I'm standing tall in the wind
Maybe they'll listen when they see the flames
Before I give in
They'll have to drag me off by my feet
400 Years and again
It's a problem when they see me
They see the color of my skin
I gotta make'em remember the name
I'm standing tall in the wind
Maybe they'll listen when they see the flames
BLACK LIVES MATTER
BLACK LIVES MATTER
BLACK LIVES MATTER
BLACK LIVES MATTER
BLACK LIVES MATTER
Yeah
