RECOGNIZE OUR BLACK LIVES
Everyone wants to march
But not everyone will stand
Everyone wants to
But not everyone can
Everyone wants justice?
But it seems that’s JUST US
Everyone wants to march,
But most times we can’t
WE’RE TOO BUSY TRYING TO CATCH OUR BREATH!!!
TOO BUSY HAVING TO RUN!!!
TOO BUSY TRYING TO STAY ALIVE!!!
NOT HAVING TIME ENOUGH TO LIVE!!!
BECAUSE YOU WON’T SEE THE VALUE OF OUR LIVES!!!
YOU WONT RECOGNIZE THE TEARS THAT WE CRY!!!
WHEN WE VOICE WE'RE ANIMALS!!!
YOU WON’T RESPECT A SILENT AND PEACEFUL PROTEST!!!
WHEN WE PLACE MONEY INTO YOUR POCKETS THEN YOUR SATISFIED!!!
THAT’S WHY YOU’VE CALLED BLACK UGLY, BECAUSE YOU CAN’T HANDLE THE LIGHT OF THE TRUTH!!!
SO WE MARCH AND STAND UNTIL ALL BLACK LIVES ARE RECOGNIZED!!!
