I Want Peace
Go go go go
Breaking news terror in Charlottesville
Chaos in the streets as a car plows into a crowd of people (Black lives matter)
Pools of blood all over the ground people screaming
I've never seen such horrific blatant racist attack in my entire life (Black lives matter)
After clashes between white nationalist and counter protesters (If all lives matter)
Victims thrown in the air, one women dead (Then black lives matter)
What have I done to receive this hate (Tell me)
What can be done to destroy the hate (Tell me)
How much longer do I have to wait (Huh)
I want peace
My people protested and stood the test of time
They marched across them bloody racial lines
Many died but we multiplied (Black lives matter)
I want peace
I'm from the concrete of America's basement, a dream chaser
Developing plans and pacing, a mind racer
To get them big blue faces but systematic racism is what I'm facing
From KKK to the big blue racists
They Ain't issuing citations or de-escalating
They out here blazing been blazing for generations
Of black and brown creations across the nation showing lack of patience
Although I'm jaded, I get my strength from the pavement
Black lives Matter is a self reflecting statement
If you can't empathize you may be a racist
If all lives matter you can't be complacent
If our lives matter to this great nation
There's no time for waiting
Let's face it
What have I done to receive this hate (Tell me)
What can be done to destroy the hate (Tell me)
How much longer do I have to wait (Huh)
I want peace
My people protested and stood the test of time
They marched across them bloody racial lines
Many died but we multiplied (Black lives matter)
I want peace
I don't want nothing from you but understanding
I didn't ask for a hand out I want protection
My civil rights is my main priority
Affirmative Action is to protect the minorities
NAACP protect minorities
From the majorities the anti melanin
Those out to harm me and out to disarm me
From Karens and torchbearers that Trumply charming
My Jordan 12s won't help me dodge their Challengers
Redirection of my dollars is the answer
Ignorance and bigotry is running rampant
I see through the blackfaces of racist minstrel dancers
Shameless chuckin' and jivin' dancin and prancin'
Appropriating my culture for shock value
What have I done to receive this hate (Tell me)
What can be done to destroy the hate (Tell me)
How much longer do I have to wait (Huh)
I want peace
My people protested and stood the test of time
They marched across them bloody racial lines
Many died but we multiplied (Black lives matter)
I want peace
All you do is hate, destroy, and terrorize
Over 400 years because of melanocytes
Are you so afraid that you have to fight
A lil' turbulence in your mind now you wanna white flight
I'm so sick and tired pass me a Dramamine
We all American 1619
We made America an actual democracy
You ain't Karen me
You can keep your apologies
Black lives matter
Black lives matter
If all lives matter
Then black lives matter
Breaking news terror in Charlottesville
Chaos in the streets as a car plows into a crowd of people (Black lives matter)
Pools of blood all over the ground people screaming
I've never seen such horrific blatant racist attack in my entire life (Black lives matter)
After clashes between white nationalist and counter protesters (If all lives matter)

What have I done to receive this hate (Tell me)
