Never Changed
"MZ, Kill 'em on the Beat"
Black men
Black women
We losing them to violence
When they moving in silence
Floyd
Taylor
Hands of police
Sleeping in my bed
Screaming "I can't breathe"
Black Lives Matters
Movement got strong
System so confused
When they know
They're in the wrong
8 minutes
46 seconds
Knee
Pressing on the neck
On video
With no weapon
It took weeks for
The cops to get arrested
And they fighting in court
To reduce their sentence
Some out on bail
Some still in jail
It's like a test
You think you passed
But really you failed
Why ain't the cops
Arrested
For killin' Breonna
One fired
And the others
Still with armor
With the times get harder
It's like no one listens
Til we make a stand
Then they start to listen
Like a hostage situation
Making demands
Thinkin' everybody trippin
And this was all planned
Never was
Something we had
On our minds
Black deaths
Every month
When they didn't hit their
Primes
Protests not leaving
We still here to fight
As we pray to God
"Please Show us the light"
And pray for the families
That lost a life
That keeps them up
At night.
(News Clipping #1)
I reflect on the deaths
That was small & major
I reflect on convictions
That sent them to cages
I reflect on the fact
Dirty cops
Get a life
I reflect on the fact
Justice System never changed
It never changed
When we're not famous
No life matters
When you not famous
I reflect
When we speak
A decision is made
It's like they're in 1st grade
If I'm tryna throw shade
I reflect
That I'm afraid to walk out my house
Not knowing if I'm going to live or die
I pray for my family and my friends
All the real ones, all gems
Pray for all my brothas and sistas
Dont let this stop you
Continue your vision
Create a mission
And drive that ambition
Drive that ambition.
