Black Bodies
Black bodies dying
In these streets
Got these black bodies piling
Is it me
Or is my melanin
Too relevant for them to comprehend
Time and time again
They always seem to wanna reprimand
Say we gave em no options
Guns drawn
Pistols ready to pop yuh
Say we wrong
But all we want is some equality
Why is that hard to see
But all we get is black bodies
Always on our tv screens
Came from the bottom
So I know how it's poppin
Cops ready to pop yuh
Worried bout if they stop yuh
Pullin over for a traffic stop
With too much melanin
Might get clapped
Before you get back
And they blame it on yo skin
The justice system
Isn't just
So how they judge another mean
The media divides the country
Choosing when we're relevant
Another body on the screen
Another cop that's free again
Another family that is broken
Guess what their black again
Heart getting broken
Colder and colder
Over and over
Feels like deaths on our shoulders
Hard to stay sober
All we said is black lives matter
Tell me where's the problem at
If it's all lives matter tell me
Where's our black protection at
Black bodies dying
Black bodies piling
Black families grieving
Black is everything
Black bodies dying
In these streets
Got these black bodies piling
Is it me
Or is my melanin
Too relevant for them to comprehend
Time and time again
They always seem to wanna reprimand
Say we gave em no options
Guns drawn
Pistols ready to pop yuh
Say we wrong
But all we want is some equality
Why is that hard to see
But all we get is black bodies
Always on our tv screens
In these streets
Got these black bodies piling
Is it me
Or is my melanin
Too relevant for them to comprehend
Time and time again
They always seem to wanna reprimand
Say we gave em no options
Guns drawn
Pistols ready to pop yuh
Say we wrong
But all we want is some equality
Why is that hard to see
But all we get is black bodies
Always on our tv screens
Came from the bottom
So I know how it's poppin
Cops ready to pop yuh
Worried bout if they stop yuh
Pullin over for a traffic stop
With too much melanin
Might get clapped
Before you get back
And they blame it on yo skin
The justice system
Isn't just
So how they judge another mean
The media divides the country
Choosing when we're relevant

Another cop that's free again
Another family that is broken
Guess what their black again
Heart getting broken
Colder and colder
Over and over

Hard to stay sober
All we said is black lives matter
Tell me where's the problem at
If it's all lives matter tell me
Where's our black protection at
Black bodies dying
Black bodies piling
Black families grieving
Black is everything
Black bodies dying
In these streets
Got these black bodies piling

Or is my melanin
Too relevant for them to comprehend

Say we wrong
But all we want is some equality
Why is that hard to see
But all we get is black bodies
Always on our tv screens
