Perspective

Mmm mmm yeah look
I've been sitting in my house
Worrying about
Everything like how
How the fuck we here
How the fuck we still
Fighting for something that we should already have
Four hundred plus years showing your ass
Four hundred plus years we can't get back

If it don't make sense to you then
Why would it make sense to me
Oh ahh
Cause I just do not agree
That shit ain't no third degree
I do think you understand
But there's always that man
Always that woman who
Don't give a fuck about the movement
Making up excuses like

I mean
I mean I mean
Well
He's black
She's black
What else you need to know
(From the ghetto)
Are you trying really
Are you crying really
Are you dying really
Are you sure

Well that shit is nothing
Your probably deserving of the bullets
Probably deserving of the bullshit
Your ancestors went through all the cruel shit
So what if them bullets wanna ricochet
So what if a racist bastard come your way
Man that shit is nothing
Sounds like that is nothing serious to me

Mmm mmm mmm
Ohhh oh oh oh
I get ready to spark up
(RIP)
(This is for)
All my black women (Mm mm)
Children
Men got damn like everyone (I wish you well)
Rest easy
Oh rest easy
I know you're well
At the end of the day
Oh rest easy
Nothing can compete with your grace (They don't deserve you)
Had the chance to earn you
And they failed the test
Say they did they're best but
I'm sorry oh (They don't care)
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I got so much loving for you (You don't deserve that)
(You don't deserve that)
And I barely knew you (I'm sorry)
(I'm sorry)
You are so brilliant (you don't deserve that)
An extension to everything magical
Oh
(Rest easy)
It doesn't make sense
You just did nothing
(Rest easy) They said it's nothing
Oh oh
I know it's bigger
(Rest easy) this is a shifter
Only true givers mm mm

In a shocking change of events
We have witnessed before our eyes
The true meaning of unity
Black lives matter
Black lives matter
Black lives matter
