Dark Lives Matter

(Verse 1) Yeah, we rise from the pain, never back down, Melanin rich, got a natural crown. Taught to survive in a world so cold, But every step we take, man, we breaking the mold. They fear what they don’t know, label us a threat, But we kings and queens, don’t you ever forget. From the chains to the streets, we still stand tall, Dark lives matter — yeah, we breaking the wall. (Hook) Dark lights shining in the face of the hate, Every scar that we carry only fuels our fate. From the roots to the stars, we were born to be great, Dark lives matter — we don’t bend, we create. (Verse 2) Can’t erase the truth, it’s written in our skin, Struggle in the bloodline, power deep within. We built these cities, wrote the soul of the song, Still fighting just to prove we belong. But we rise like the sun in the heart of the storm, Unified in the fire, we transform. Justice ain’t a favor, it’s a right we demand, We ain't asking — we taking a stand. (Hook) Dark lights shining in the face of the hate, Every scar that we carry only fuels our fate. From the roots to the stars, we were born to be great, Dark lives matter — we don’t bend, we create. (Outro) No silence, no fear, voice loud, crystal clear, History’s written now, and the authors are here. We bleed, we heal, we fight, we build — Dark lives matter, and forever will. --
