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 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 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, Amauhd 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 in this earth will one day fade into dust So human connection and Gods praise is a must Capitalism is a system where you worth and faith in your stuff And I'm mad that we don't hate it enough We might be oppressed but we isn't stupid Name one good thing the cops have done if they ain'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 cuz I isn't Jewish That's all facts cuz I do my research They caught him walking while black 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 f*ck bout who you and me is Black boy white America 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] 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
