Freedom of Speech
Stop you said
So I did
Put your hands up you said
So I did
Be still you said
So I did
Still put that gun to my head
Still shot another unarmed black kid
We looking for freedom
Waiting until that dream come
Massa threw away the chains cause he no longer needs them
He pulled out system racism and this shit just begun
We looking for freedom
Our hands up don't shoot us
We face down don't abuse us
This not a joke not amusing
You wasn't scared for your life you knew exactly what you was doing
When you killed him
And you left his wife with all the children
Kids without their father
Sons without their mother
Just for their parent to become a fucking martyr
For a war
A war we didn't even know we were in
It's like all the odds are stacked against us
So how tf we supposed to win
Since I was a kin
Schools told us we won't be nothing
Living in poverty
I never thought I could be something
But never slowing like Usain
Best believe Ima keep running
And you can try knock me down
But like Ali ima keep punching
Let's remember mlk
I have a Dream that one day
My children won't be judged by the color of their skin
But by the content of their character
It's been like 50 years
And ain't shit change in America
I still have that dream
But now I'm talking a bit different
I have a dream that
One day I'll be able to tell my children
That we are the generation that made racism die
Honestly some days I wish my skin was bullet proof
Cause maybe that'll stop the killing
Maybe that'll numb this feeling
Maybe that'll open their eyes
Maybe that'll help us live in a world where I can finally breathe
Where my people survive
But we still looking for freedom
My black still bleeding from their blue
But I know god wouldn't give us a battle
He didn't think we could handle
So we staying boot strapped up
And we could never back up
Cause freedom is never granted
But best believe it's gone be won
It's black lives matter
A song that will never be unsung
Cause we looking for freedom
We looking for freedom
We looking for
It's always gon be people who try to knock you down, it's up to you to stay ten feet Down. Never wear a frown always fix your crown it may slip and slide but it'll never Touch the ground watch out for the snakes they always creep around, gotta guard your Peace keep
It safe and sound. We living in a world where evil is the curse just keep spreading love Maybe that's the cure.
I'm looking for some spirituality, humanity security positivity emotionally this world ain't it No more
I'm looking for some spirituality, humanity security positivity emotionally this world ain't it No more
