What's it like to be black To know that when you leave, you might never come back To know that in the streets you're more prone to attack Doesn't have to be directly, it can be how you act Okay talk to me and I'll talk back And I'll tell y'all where my heads at You don't understand what it's like for me And that's no crime, yo I get that But your crime is, silence In the wake of all this violence There's a bigger picture than the two us So don't act for me. This is for our kids And we need more than a hashtag We need all people, even non-blacks This is our time where we fight back Where you put your money where your mouth at It's time to show the world where the love's at Get your mother, father, sister, brother, daughter Grandparents and your sons too And you can sing along if you know the tune Like, Black Lives Matter Black Lives Matter I said, Black Lives Matter Black Lives Matter I said, Black Lives Matter Black Lives Matter I said, Black Lives Matter I said, Black Lives Matter Life's a game when you roll the dice But a black man, pays the price If you come at me and ask my advice See it through their children's eyes George Floyd had 5 kids, he had 5 kids Let's talk about Tracy Martin Cause Zimmerman took his Awww it's crazy If I walk alone then I'm shady Can't even trust the police Or the hood watch to come save me I can't protect my lady, I can't protect my baby Officer I can't breathe, why the f*ck do you hate me Talk to me and I'll talk back Write to me and I'll write back There's a rotten few in a good bunch It ain't all of y'all and I know that But the good ones who are silent Are no different from the violent When you hear the sound of these sirens I hope it sits well on your conscience And we need more than a hashtag We need all people, even non-blacks This is our time where we fight back Where you put your money where your mouth at It's time to show the world where the love's at Get your mother, father, sister, brother, daughter Grandparents and your sons too And you can sing along if you know the tune Like, Black Lives Matter Black Lives Matter I said, Black Lives Matter Black Lives Matter I said, Black Lives Matter Black Lives Matter I said, Black Lives Matter I said, Black Lives Matter The systematic killings of our sisters and brothers Like the public execution of George Floyd Cannot go unnoticed and unchallenged The continued disregard for black and brown lives By white supremicists Both visible and invisible As well as public institutions meant to protect us And to promote the rule of law Means that none of us are safe We cannot stay silent, our silence will not protect us Hey hey, ho ho racism has got to go Hey hey, ho ho racism has got to go Hey hey, ho ho racism has got to go Hey hey, ho ho racism has got to go Hey hey, ho ho racism has got to go Hey hey, ho ho racism has got to go Hey hey, ho ho racism has got to go Hey hey, ho ho racism has got to go
