Blackboysprayer

[Intro]
This sounds so beautiful
The Blacks and Blues: sounds like the dancing souls of those who have left us
I pray for those of us who are still alive, that we make it to tomorrow, God willing

[Chorus]
Hear me Allah (I hope that you can hear me)
Hear me Jah (Please, I hope that you can hear me)
I will see you (I'll see you one day)
When it's time (But hopefully not today)
Hear me Jesus (I hope that you can hear me)
Hear me pray (Please, I hope that you can hear me)
Want to meet you, but hopefully not today
Not today

[Verse 1]
Lord, I want to meet you hope today is not the day but I know I don’t get that choice
Especially when they kill my people everyday or lock us in a cage
Man, I can hardly rest my voice
I cry for George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Nina Pop, Ahmaud Arbery
Oluwatoyin, Tony McDade, Trayvon Martin
A list so long that it’s painful just to start it
Every day I pray for the departed

Time is illusory but change is a must
And The Universe will judge how long you take to adjust
Make sure your people and ideas get all your faith and your love
They want you loving all their products, how they taking your trust
But every object on this earth will one day fade into dust
So human connection and God's praise is a must
Capitalism is a system where you put your worth and faith in your stuff
And I’m mad that we don’t hate it enough (Yeah, look)

We might be oppressed but we isn’t stupid
Name one good thing the cops have done if they isn't useless
That’s my story and I’m sticking to it
It's mad niggas sitting in jail for crimes that they isn’t doing
That’s no cap 'cause I isn’t Jewish
That’s all facts 'cause I do my research
They caught him walking while black and now he on a t-shirt
Been had us running like track and now they mad our feet hurt?
We gotta hit 'em with the stats just so they believe us
A land of colorblind crackers, never tryna see us
They stopped whipping at our backs but they ain’t tryna free us
And now the only love they got's a fetish for my penis
They also really love my raps and my style of sneakers
My melanin and my locks and how I burn my reefer
They love my culture all around me, everything about me
But they don’t give a fuck 'bout who you and me is
Black Boy, white America

[Chorus]
Hear me Allah
Hear me Jah (Black lives matter)
I will see you (Black Trans lives matter)
When it's time (We gotta protect our black sisters, please, please)
Hear me Jesus (There's so many missing black girls)
Hear me pray (Not to mention, they are hanging black people from trees in 2020)
Want to meet you, but hopefully not today (Nothing has changed man)

[Outro]
Hopefully not today
I don't want to get shot today
Don't want my world rocked today
I don't want to die today
I don't want to visit God today
No not today, no not today, no not today
