Black Lives Matter

It\'s not saying all lives don\'t matter 

But blacks lives are the only lives 

Who don\'t matter 

At this time , place , era for many years

They say slavery ended 

But did it ?

Beaten and murdered for our color

Scared to drive without getting pulled over and smothered 

Can someone explain ?

You have a gun 

You feel in power 

But to take a life from their family 

No more hours 

Seconds 

Their no longer living 

Because you felt empowered or driven

To do a senseless act 

How you feel ? 

You think you tough

But in reality you pussy

Their family suffering 

Knowing you\'ll get off

And paid leave 

God help us 

Let us be freed

The chains are off 

But the system still has the key

Our lock has yet to be broken

Trayvon Martin , Sandra bland , 

Michael Ferguson , Tamir Rice 

Oscar Grant and many more  

Innocent and shot by whites 

They had a future but never got to live it

Teenagers but never got to feel it 

The clubs , colleges and all the fun 

Instead their life ended with a single gun 

Police who did it got off 

No justice 

No freedom

No peace at all , 

Martin King wouldn\'t accept this at all 

So when we said Black Lives Matter 

Think before you say all

Because if you aren\'t living in our skin you wouldn\'t understand the fear we\'re in
