This a horror movie, so pardon my Ari Aster
Black Lives Matter, and I'm the grand master
Black hoodie tattered by rubber bullets then gassed her
Never met a goodie, it's ALL cops are bastards
Look around now, there's no ignoring the pattern
People getting killed in the street and it don't matter?
Imma have to fight the police so they don't shatter
New golden age of peace with no Saturn
Whole life told that pigs gather the bad guys
Looking out my window, they busy battering black lives
Obvious, it isn't enough to just chastise
Officers indicted for once, you're not baptized
You can't wash these sins away, your pistols spray
Your whistleblowers pissed away your safest state
Cause safe ain't a word we say!
You hate my skin, you kill on the basis of race

Wash the mace out your senators eyes, it's not a disguise
It's identity, and I face that black is a crime
And my alibi is irrelevant, so is my case
They turn a blind eye to my death, I'm running in place
And White America maintains my death is my fault
Where everybody else with a brain can see a result
Of systematic cowardice, racism, oppression
Shit you'll never see in your best history lesson
Anything you do can flipped to a death sentence
Better men than me getting murdered, and then arrested
Kneeling on your neck and we're kneeling for our complexion
Blackballed, ostracized for protesting
Right there in front of your eyes, it's no question
My people made to survive, but not destined
Please, Rest In Peace, deceased, my black brethren
Breathe, and retake the streets, it's infested!

Dis generation is fighting for our survival
Finally together, we stopping this red cycle
Everybody else, your silence is so typical
Imagine being cool with the dying, you're so miserable
Imagine getting all up in arms about Target
But not about that the fact that we've always been targeted
Unarmed and bargaining, begging for cop's mercy
Dying in real life, you worried about Cersei
Defund police, it's clearly not working
Spend money on housing, schools, something deserving
Pounce with one purpose, boundless potential
Amount is unnerving, trust, this is essential
We are all-powerful, we can shift gears
The day we celebrate, the blood, sweat, and tears
We spilled to bring equality finally to our people
Truth is self-evident, we are all equal
Fight!
