All Lives Matter

[Verse 1]
I seen a news flash, each day the news sad
I seen a police pull a gun and kill a dude fast
Don’t see no justice, all they say is that it’s too bad
As they destroy his memory by bringing up that dude’s past
And now it’s RIP shirts, vigils, and picket signs
And politicians with promises but i think he’s lying
‘Cause every single time this happens and we use our rights
It’s like the leaders let police treat us like we’re committing crimes Twenty sixteen, but it’s feeling like the seventies
Can’t ride the streets without policemen acting like they’re scared of me
Pull me over talking ‘bout a broken tail light, yeah right
You assumed i had a gun and methamphetamine
But I ain’t selling nothing, I’m too intelligent
Your prejudice just shows your heart is darker than my melanin
I'm more than just a specimen, I’m a human being
It’s crazy knowing you can get away with making me a skeleton

[Verse 2]
I open up the good book and read the letters He say
‘Cause Lord knows that I need aid
He told us “love one another”, Satan spins it like a DJ
It’s getting hard to love my neighbors these days
'Cause when I’m surfing social media i see the devil work
See my different-skinned family posting thoughts without research
Digging in an open wound like they don’t see the hurt
Guess they don’t see the pain of people that they gotta see at church
Make me wonder, “Do my black life matter to you?”
Ain’t talking 'bout no movement brother, I’m talking ‘bout a man. I'm talking ‘bout a woman who was made in God's hands
I'm talking ‘bout my family, that’s a part of God's plan
Satan wants division this is Babel once again
Twisting up our love language so it’s hard to understand
But we can’t let him win, i can hear his lies clear
Telling you I’m just a thug and telling me you’re just the klan

[Verse 3]
I seen a news flash, each day the news sad
I seen a police pull a gun and kill a dude fast
Didn’t see no justice, they just told his family too ba
And then they wonder why these dudes mad
Look, we ain’t asking you for reparations
All we asking for is legislation
All we asking for are better leaders
We just want to see some dedication
Some equality and protection
Some due process before throwing us in corrections
All that we ask is don’t shoot when you see us throwing our hands up
And give me justice if i end up dead wearing handcuffs
Martin saw the mountain, this is what I find true
An avalanche is rolling, we just gotta climb through
And why get offended when I say Black Lives Matter
I know All Lives Matter
I’m just saying: "Mine too"
