I can’t write a story
That’s written itself
It ended with murder
Just see for yourself
You change all your actions
The clothes that you’re in
But really the problem
Is the shade of your skin
There’s rules to follow
And laws to abide
I hope they don’t stop you
You may not survive
They have so much power
They’re out of control
They’ll take you down swiftly
Releasing your soul
Don’t wear a hoodie
Or play with toy guns
Hands where I see them
Please don’t try to run
The problem’s much deeper
Than what we can solve
It starts in the home
Where examples evolve
Everyday a new story
Where the fuck have we been
Didn’t see it before
All this pain sinking in
We have so much to learn
We have all become woke
You have fought this alone
As they attack, taser, choke
All black lives matter
It’s a fact, it’s the truth
The choice is so simple
Yet a side we must choose
If you’re not on this side
And you think your life matters
Sit your ass, not your turn
We’ve got ceilings to shatter
We must rewrite new history
Rewire our brains
That this shit goes on
It is fucking insane
That’s written itself
It ended with murder
Just see for yourself
You change all your actions
The clothes that you’re in
But really the problem
Is the shade of your skin
There’s rules to follow
And laws to abide
I hope they don’t stop you
You may not survive
They have so much power
They’re out of control
They’ll take you down swiftly
Releasing your soul
Don’t wear a hoodie
Or play with toy guns
Hands where I see them
Please don’t try to run
The problem’s much deeper
Than what we can solve
It starts in the home
Where examples evolve
Everyday a new story
Where the fuck have we been
Didn’t see it before
All this pain sinking in
We have so much to learn
We have all become woke
You have fought this alone
As they attack, taser, choke
All black lives matter
It’s a fact, it’s the truth
The choice is so simple
Yet a side we must choose
If you’re not on this side
And you think your life matters
Sit your ass, not your turn
We’ve got ceilings to shatter
We must rewrite new history
Rewire our brains
That this shit goes on
It is fucking insane
