It Is What It Is

[verse 1]
I was born into activism, my skin color declared me an activist. All of my life has been dedicated to the painful art of resistance activism or pessimism. There is no side of neutrality In Black skin, you do not have an option to choose, you can only. Choose to ignore, or dissolve into pessimism, or fight as an activist Marching towards the ever moving target towards freedom. Tired of explaining what it's like to be in this Black skin

[Chorus]
This just the way life is
Somethings will never change
This just the way life goes
Things will never change

[verse 2]
Crushed by the debilitating blow of never getting my brother back. The cops killed him and that’s a fact because he was born a Black man with a target on his back. Our birth certificates need to be changed to being born in “A state of emergency” When our Black babies leave the hospital, our worse fear is how will our Black baby come back. Multiple gunshots left my brother dead and now my mother is all messed up in the head He was unarmed but harmed
Wrong color. Wrong place. Wrong time

[Chorus]
This just the way life is
Somethings will never change
This just the way life goes
Things will never change
