Do they care about the ones who have to struggle to survive Just because I'm young and black I don't deserve to be alive See there's a difference if you recognize you can't be colorblind But see the color and respect it time to open up your eyes Police playing with they guns and think our lives are just a toy They tryna throw me on the pavement for no reason like I'm Floyd They tryna keep me silent but I'm speaking loud I have a voice And being racist ain't hereditary kids it's just a choice If you had to watch your brothers fight for freedom you would see How hard it is just for the ones that God has blessed with colored seed They don't care how much we lift our voice they bash us through our pleas And they don't stop until there's pools of blood or until we can't breathe But we can't wait around and watch our nation die go to waste In the books they say that everyone should live and have a place I shouldn't be afraid to live my dream and one day be a great We need to start it over once again and wipe out all the hate I just wanna see a change I just wanna see a change I just wanna see a change Do they care about the ones who have to struggle to survive Just because I'm young and black I don't deserve to be alive See there's a difference if you recognize you can't be colorblind But see the color and respect it time to open up your eyes Police playing with they guns and think our lives are just a toy They tryna throw me on the pavement for no reason like I'm Floyd They tryna keep me silent but I'm speaking loud I have a voice And being racist ain't hereditary kids it's just a choice If I steal a drink I get a double sentence no parole But lil Timmy raped woman but they just gone let him go It ain't ever fair so I just gotta ask em what's the goal They just hate me cuz I'm colored gotta make it on my own I know the picture always bigger the colors we divide This to the ones that love their kids and stay around to help they're wives But be strong my kings and queens and don't fall into all the lies We gotta speak up for our colors so they can't destroy our grind If I told you I was starving would you give me some to eat If I asked you for a place to stay then would you let me sleep If I was dying in the sun then would you get me out the heat If I was hustling for money would you get me out the streets Do they care about the ones who have to struggle to survive Just because I'm young and black I don't deserve to be alive See there's a difference if you recognize you can't be colorblind But see the color and respect it time to open up your eyes Police playing with they guns and think our lives are just a toy They tryna throw me on the pavement for no reason like I'm Floyd They tryna keep me silent but I'm speaking loud I have a voice And being racist ain't hereditary kids it's just a choice
