Black
Might as well write it down so I won't cry
Messed up that some of us have to still die
After the centuries unlawful histories
Sometimes I wonder how I'm still alive
Because the skin that I live in
Some on video but most of them we'll never ever know
This what we fight for feeling so anxious hope is getting old
Ain't nothing new this is how it's been
Still I wouldn't choose a different color skin
My hurt is on replay another dies today I'm losing my faith
I wish I knew their names there's just so many names
My hurt is on replay another dies today I'm losing my faith
Your life was not in vain
Wish I knew all their names
I wish I knew all their names
Turn on the TV it's all in the news
Feel paralyzed I can't even move
Hearing the details feeling my pain swell
Knowing deep down it could've been you or me
Suffering so long you see ever since 1619
Hell even before those that were killed cause they wouldn't go over shore
I can't imagine all the things that must have gone on in your mind
Never knowing if this breath would be the last time
All this because your skin
Still I wouldn't choose a different color skin
My hurt is on replay another dies today I'm losing all my faith
I wish I knew their names there's just so many names
My hurt is on display another dies today I've lost my faith
Your life was not in vain
Wish I knew all their names
I wish I knew all their names
Messed up that some of us have to still die
After the centuries unlawful histories
Sometimes I wonder how I'm still alive
Because the skin that I live in
Some on video but most of them we'll never ever know
This what we fight for feeling so anxious hope is getting old
Ain't nothing new this is how it's been
Still I wouldn't choose a different color skin
My hurt is on replay another dies today I'm losing my faith
I wish I knew their names there's just so many names
My hurt is on replay another dies today I'm losing my faith
Your life was not in vain
Wish I knew all their names
I wish I knew all their names
Turn on the TV it's all in the news
Feel paralyzed I can't even move
Hearing the details feeling my pain swell
Knowing deep down it could've been you or me
Suffering so long you see ever since 1619
Hell even before those that were killed cause they wouldn't go over shore
I can't imagine all the things that must have gone on in your mind
Never knowing if this breath would be the last time
All this because your skin
Still I wouldn't choose a different color skin
My hurt is on replay another dies today I'm losing all my faith
I wish I knew their names there's just so many names
My hurt is on display another dies today I've lost my faith
Your life was not in vain
Wish I knew all their names
I wish I knew all their names
