I remember growing up I would see it on the news Black man gets cornered and beaten black and blue Black man gets shot it's the same old tune But we avert our eyes say it's not our job to do But that's the reason we keep on going back The reason people keep on getting killed just for being black And nobody does shit so we just stay trapped I hear one more "all lives matter and I swear I'm gonna snap", I said I hear one more "all lives matter and I swear I'm gonna snap", I said Yes all lives matter but not all lives are opressed! Not all lives are stolen and robbed of breath! Not all lives are forced to live in fear of death Because a cop was too stressed To think before he shot To see past the colors into a heart It's tearing us apart I may be white but I stand here in defiance I stand here at the riots I use my voice because silence Is equal to compliance The hate has become timeless But this is not the time for violence It's not the time for fighting It's about damn time for an alliance Because Black lives matter Love is love Women are equal So let's rise above Black lives matter Love is love Women are equal So let's rise above Rest in peace George Floyd Don't let him die in vain We'll march in the streets up until the day When black and white are not only equal but one and the same And we all have the right to fucking BREATHE regardless of race Spread love into this world, we'll overpower the hate Moment of silence ~ #blm #blacklivesmatter #loveislove #riseabove #ripgeorgefloyd #icantbreathe
