Lyrics

"Been finding the news hard to digest

Its clear that there's a continuing threat on our black lives

Like is this really what's happening? 

Let me breathe, man

Can't turn the news on when you wake up in the morning

Your hearts been aching and you see the whole world mourning 

Another brother taken and our anger has been storing 

Now we speaking up for justice so the protest has gone foreign 


we sparking change, hope the flames spread faster

No more chains, and we killing all our masters

They say the sky is the limit but for us its just the rafters

Cuz there's no further progression if our black lives don't matter

Uh

We been chattin but we cutting all the chatter

Cuz yall don't follow, unless your money's in the pattern

Another life's been taking and your pockets getting fatter?

 That dont sit right with me, thats why your windows gotten shattered.

This revolution has been televised, its a new era

Trumps administration is taking lives, and they don't care

Blunt racism and it's systemized, so lay it bare

1st degree murder, he was victimized just laying there

So we the thugs, when you give high fives to murders 

And send ya guards, with live rounds to murder us

We want freedom!  don't act like you haven't heard from us

400 years but the same problems that burden us

they say serve and protect but there's a gun in my face

All because you cant accept the equality of race

We march and protest to make this better place?

Don't you see we want life, not a hash tag and a case

In the comfort of our homes, we still can't feel safe

Breonna was in bed, and she will never be replaced

Don't tell us to stop protesting, this time you can't erase

We shooting for the stars, so yea we take up space

Been looking for the change, but we tired of martyrs 

Our parents built this country, now you take our sons and daughters

Just Thinking bout the families it makes the grieving harder

But when you push down, we push the issue farther 

Been calling out for justice, but y'all don't even bother

Discrepancies are clear, don't want to see us prosper

You cool with loosing life, but don't wanna lose a dollar

Cuz when the lootin start, that's when you put ya gaurd up

Martin marched for justice, now we gon do the same

Malcom fought for justice, articulated our pain

America is unjust, and we gon vote for change

George Floyd left it to us, and you gone remember these names 

Trayvon Martin

Americas injustice just keeps growing

This wasn't a trend, this is the fight for lives

Keep posting, keep marching, keep educating

Until they realize 

That Black Lives Matter"
