You Matter

Especially to our brown skinned bodies
You are loved more than you know
You're braver than you can imagine
You're more beautiful beyond what you can see (yeah)
And you're stronger than you sometimes feel

You're super dope and brown
Black Lives Matter, yeah, that's the sound
Try to push you down, keep your feet on the ground
Twin Cities, baby, Purple Rain, Prince town

You're super dope and brown
Black Lives Matter, yeah, that's the sound
Try to push you down, keep your feet on the ground
Twin Cities, baby, Purple Rain, Prince town

You matter, you matter
You matter, you matter, you matter

You are the head and not the tail, above and not beneath
The light upon a hill, the salt that fills the seas
You're the rose that grows through the rows of concrete
More powerful and beautiful than you have ever seen

Your highness crowned with might and ebony
The future it bows down its head now to thee
The culmination of your ancestor's dreams
No matter what they say, hold on to this creed indeed (yeah)

You matter (yea-yea), you matter (yes, you do)
You matter, you matter, you matter

You're super dope and brown
Black Lives Matter, yeah, that's the sound
Try to push you down, keep your feet on the ground
Twin Cities, baby, Purple Rain, Prince town

You're super dope and brown
Black Lives Matter, yeah, that's the sound
Try to push you down, keep your feet on the ground
Twin Cities, baby, Purple Rain, Prince town

You are loved more than you know
You're braver than you can imagine
You're more beautiful beyond what you can see
And you're stronger than you sometimes feel

Don't fall apart
Just put your hand on your heart
And remember from the start of your life
You've been something that is so wonderful

You're a miracle
You're impossibly perfectly you
And it's only the truth 'cause you matter

You matter (you matter), you matter
You matter, you matter, you matter

You're super dope and brown
Black Lives Matter, yeah, that's the sound
Try to push you down, keep your feet on the ground
Twin Cities, baby, Purple Rain, Prince town

You're super dope and brown
Black Lives Matter, yeah, that's the sound
Try to push you down, keep your feet on the ground
Twin Cities, baby, Purple Rain, Prince town

Black Lives Matter, yeah, that's the sound
Try to push you down, keep your feet on the ground
Twin Cities, baby, Purple Rain, Prince town

You're super dope and brown
Black Lives Matter, yeah, that's the sound
Try to push you down, keep your feet on the ground
Twin Cities, baby, Purple Rain, Prince town

It's not a fun time in life right now (you matter, you matter)
But we have life and that's what matters (you matter, you matter)
We have work to do, and we need to get to it
We have youth to lead, and youth, you have a world to takeover (you matter, you matter)
And I can't wait to see all of the good things you do in it (you matter, you matter)

You are missed, you are loved (you matter, you matter)
You are cherished, you are validated (you matter)
