#BLACKLIVESMATTER

[Verse]
Black Lives Matter... there is no debate
It has escalated to the People vs. The State
You better relate to it, because you might be next
Color doesn't matter to the one who signs the checks

It is all about the money. It is all about the power
Watching dirty politics, I'm gonna need a shower
Try not to devour the rhetoric that they're feeding you
They're treating you unequal. The people'll start to see it too

We're not confused. They're sleeping on our intellect
Thinking we don't recognize the level of their disrespect
That's why I'm hoping that you're keeping your eyes woke
Praying on my knees. Or am I down here cuz I'm being choked?

Tamir Rice, Sean Bell, and Mike Brown
Amadou Diallo. Were all shot down
Freddie Gray, Walter Scott, and John Crawford
Even Sandra Bland has died unlawful

Rekia Boyd, Eric Garner, and Trayvon
Young Mr. Martin was a victim. How are they wrong?
Aiyana Jones, Jon Ferrell, and Akai Gurley
I see my family. I wonder what the world sees?

I am not alone. I'm not the only one angry
I wanna see some justice, but the system wants to hang me
Cuz I'm a young, black threat
AMERICA!
Land of the liberty. Home of the debt!

I just want a chance, I just wanna see my 30s
I don't wanna take another plea from an attorney
I just want my people to be free for the first time
In this hemisphere since 1493

I keep it 100 like the rap Wilt Chamberlain
Never gonna lose, I got a vision and I play to win
Play this tape again so you get everything I'm mentioning
My melanin is not a sin. So you better tell a friend

Say it loud. I'm black and proud
A million people marching, I was there to lead the crowd
Justice or else. Is it just us and nobody else
Who can help us get out of this hell?

I don't wanna sell and I don't wanna be sold
I don't wanna see a cell. So I'm gonna be bold
You cannot control me, I might be loud
But I'm free to have my voice and so I'm gonna move the crowd

My sound won't be drowned by no gun pow
"Hands up! Don't shoot!" Arms like a touchdown
I touch ground international. Worldwide
Black people everywhere. Open up your eyes!

And I surmise the minds I impact
Are for the better so don't say that I don't give back
I'm running laps around your concept of rap and
How many different cultures can identify as Black

Identify as black

[Bridge]
BLACK LIVES MATTER!!
(Say it Again!)
BLACK LIVES MATTER!!
(Say it Again!)
BLACK LIVES MATTER!!
(Say it Again!)
BLACK LIVES MATTER!!
(Say it Again!)
