Black Lives Matter

[Intro]

Uh, I been wanting to do this for a while now man
I just had to wait for the right time
Black Lives Matter, man
You know, it ain't really just because I been holding it off
It's really because I've been waiting for the right time
And I feel like this is the right time

[Chorus]

Yeah, uh, this should have never came to be
Thousands upon thousands of innocent black lives gone to the hands of police
Racism still lives, yeah they're tired of being battered
All lives is so stupid, yeah Black Lives Matter

[Verse 1]

Mike got killed just for being fucking Brown
And Trayvon got killed cause he was walking in town
Botham Jean couldn't be safe in his own house
My man George Floyd couldn't even get the breath up out his mouth

Ahmaud Arbery may have not been killed by the police
But yet again another innocent black man killed in the streets
Yeah some people may say police ain't bad
Yeah, that ain't reason why we mad, you don't understand this man

Killing an innocent man even though he was complying
Families at home without a dad and husband, and now they crying
What about the narrative, and if it was switched and turned
Leaving your mind in a frenzy, letting it fucking burn

[Chorus]

Uh, this should have never came to be
Thousands upon thousands of innocent black lives gone to the hands of police
Racism still lives, yeah they're tired of being battered
All lives is so stupid, yeah Black Lives Matter

[Verse 2]

Yeah, Breonna Taylor was shot 8 times in her own home
Tony McDade chilling in the park, but couldn't leave that man alone
Sandra Bland killed in jail, because of the color of her skin
Van Dyke shot Laquan 6 times, ain't that enough to offend

All these names just don't say e-fucking-nough
All these white cops walking with their guns, thinking they fucking tough
Don't you think all my black brothers and sisters done seen enough
Wasn't doing shit, and then you just gone put 'em in them cuffs

If I was near you, I would sacrifice my life for y'all
Y'all just don't know if I love you, I would take a knife for y'all
Baby, I'd take a rubber bullet to the eye for y'all
And to be honest, I'd lose my fucking life for y'all

And I been seeing how y'all are being treated
And the shit hurts me, 'cause I know I really can't solve the reason
I'm just tryna let my voice be motherfucking heard
But my words fly ober they head just like a motherfucking bird

What can I do? Other then just speak
I don't wanna see my best friend dead laying up in the street
I'm tired of seeing injustice, I'm tired of seeing fucking pain
Y'all are the fucking controllers, and they are not your fucking game

[Verse 3]

I'm white, so I'll never know what it feels like to be black
Or know how it feels to always have a target on my back
Can't even drive around town without being fucking worried
Or continuously seeing their best friends getting fucking buried

Cops are always shooting for no motherfucking reason
I'm tired of seeing all these innocent black families grieving, black families grieving
"I don't see color; I have no problems with the blacks." man
I hope you know that ain't fucking solving

[Bridge]

Calling them blacks and saying that you don't see the fucking color
I hope you know that that makes you a part of the problem
I hate a racist human being and that's all I gotta say, that's all I gotta fucking say
Black Lives Matter mean just as much as any other at the end of the motherfucking day

[Outro]

I just had to let my message get across man
This means a whole lot more to me than just the fucking lyrics
I stand for every fucking thing with this movement
I want to see equality in this country
I want to see equality everywhere
I love y'all just like I love my own fucking family
And I want the best, and nothing but the best for y'all
I shall stand with y'all for the rest of my fucking life
I stand for this movement
There is nothing else that I will stand for more than this
I'm not standing for this flag, I'm not standing for nothing
I'm not standing for that flag, I'm not standing for shit
Until equality is fucking served in this country
That's all I gotta say, love y'all, bye
