I know they said that Martin had a dream Mama said I could be anything Lately, I don’t know what to believe Cause people with skin like me are more likely to be incarcerated, more likely to be less educated 2021 and that’s frustrating I’m losing patience If one day the crowd should say my name Hope these words will reach you from my grave If I was white, I’d still be alive There’d be no pain in my mother’s eyes It just ain’t right My heart wouldn’t race when the police are passing me by If I was white Maybe I would walk a little taller Wouldn’t switch it up when they be callin’ Wealth and generations keep me ballin’ I be ballin’ Never stallin’ Maybe I’d be the ones who stands up This ignorance ain’t bliss, no it’s a cancer So if you see me with my hands up I need more than your camera And if one day the crowd should say my name Hoping that these words won’t be in vain Cause if I was white, I’d still be alive There’d be no pain in my mother’s eyes It just ain’t right My heart wouldn’t race when the police are passing me by If I was white
