Black Lives Matter, Black Lives Matter Well let's get to talking address that chatter The picture's confusing with all this paint Should I pray with the sinners and sin with saints God, I'm an omen in my complexion Everytime I see them I feel fear and aggression The law's above it all, it's death by the man's hand Troubled waters done forced me to draw lines in the sand If you are not an ally peace my enemy Even with hands up don't shoot I can't breathe You see the disrespect on them body body cams All we got is trauma shooting live like it's Instagram But they gon' tell me to peacefully kneel Naw it didn't work the first time that's how I feel Protest levels up to the riots they seem excited to bury ya It's just another nigga dead living in America Equality's nothing to us but pipe dreams Black life lost is nothing it might seem Now I gotta disease, pumping that IV American pandemic, MELANIN-19 Either side of the coin, streets or church steeple What if I fall victim to them or my own people A sickness in my skin, pumping that IV American pandemic, MELANIN-19 Black Lives Matter, Black Lives Matter Well's let get to talking address that chatter Here's a discussion where niggas run and hide They're killing us, we're killing us... genocide Black-on-black crime does not exist I'm not with it, it's justifiable bullshit I said what I said, social media activist We're not accountable with that same energy, practices Are half-assed, mourning mothers calling them cops Young'n was only 14 years and he got dropped Same shade as his killer, the same name as my Pop The irony about it he died right on my block So if we go to war than we need more F*ck a liquor store, warriors we breed more This is all the violence we've desensitized after the pastor buries ya It's just another nigga dead living in America Equality's nothing to us but pipe dreams Black life lost is nothing it might seem Now I gotta disease, pumping that IV American pandemic, MELANIN-19 Either side of the coin, streets or church steeple What if I fall victim to them or my own people A sickness in my skin, pumping that IV American pandemic, MELANIN-19 Black Lives Matter, Black Lives Matter Well's let get to talking address that chatter The system is broken, my people are shattered Unless you make the cake well then you'll surely be battered We climb a ladder and then we splatter cuz you push it over You're looking after confusion plastered on why we ain't sober My people hurting, essential when we out to put the work in But our mental can't be tend to until we stop buying Birkin Man who's rich without black money, who bad as a black honey We blacker than black and back to blacking on that blasphemy I know Martin had a dream, Malcolm he had a team But Thelonius is mean and Daisy Mayze that girl a queen I ain't finna be a hash tag, before I peel a cap back To take my people down you gon' have to bomb us like Bagdad I ain't finna be a hash tag, before I peel a cap back I'll slap you for this movement homie, look I ain't my granddad Equality's nothing to us but pipe dreams Black life lost is nothing it might seem Now I gotta disease, pumping that IV American pandemic, MELANIN-19 Either side of the coin, streets or church steeple What if I fall victim to them or my own people A sickness in my skin, pumping that IV American pandemic, MELANIN-19
