June 2nd
My timeline was black squares
Bold statements
That truly made me ask where
This newfound wokeness
Some folks was tone def
Talking like publicists
With well-crafted slogans
Suddenly the veil that once covered their eyes
Was finally absent
Gone were the attachments
To feeling comfortable
Denying black trauma
They was ready to march
They was ready for the drama
Yelling f*ck the police
The chants rang clear
They recognized their privilege
And told us they were there
But guilt is an emotion that you can't trust
It comes and goes like a man's lust
Two weeks later
The status quo
Riddle me this
Where'd the tangents go
The outrage had ceased
You were absent bro
But unlike you I can't escape my blackness yo

Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday
And even Saturday
I'm black everyday
I'm black everyday
I'm black everyday
Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday
And even Saturday
I'm black everyday
I'm black everyday
I'm black everyday

The most imitated
But least appreciated
The most appropriated
But rarely compensated
Black is beautiful
How is that not fact
When Karen and Becky want a black girl ass
They wanna walk like our queens
Be strong as our queens
But don't want the struggle that develops those genes
Black is resilient
How's that not true
Name another group that stomach what we do
Gave you gas masks
And lightbulb filament
Needless to say
Black folks are instrument
To development
Yet you want our residence
To be imprisonment
What are you an idiot?
Think black inventors that changed the world
Yet your silent when cops kill our boys and girls
What if the cure died with Sandra Bland
Your privilege is a weapon and it's killing us man

Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday
And even Saturday
I'm black everyday
I'm black everyday
I'm black everyday
Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday
And even Saturday
I'm black everyday
I'm black everyday
I'm black everyday
