MAKING BLACK LIVES MATTER

Time and time again,

We've heard them say "black lives matter"

Time and time again,

Who do we blame?

Where are we, in this time of struggle and pain,

We all bleed the same.

Skin, hair, nails are we the human race?

Cut your veins,

Squeeze your face,

Insanity drives this world to unhappiness.

If black lives really matter, 

It would matter to us the most,

But day in day out,

We're selling each other out.

It's time for this sickness and shame,

To change the game,

Of how we view and treat other,

Only then will black lives really matter,

When we stop killing each other.

Don't you see what's happening?

All naturals and prints are on street corners,

blacks are no longer lying dormant.

We're proud of who we are and how far we've come,

Imagine Barack Obama is in the white house.

Our heads are lifted and our songs we hum,

As we all march to the beat of the drum.

Mother earth, 

Our home called Africa,

We are awake and will no longer suffer.

Don't you think they see it too?

Why else will they be killing you?

Go back to your roots,

Research and you'll conclude,

The world has come thus far,

Because Black Lives Do Matter.
