What it means to be black in America

We live in fear each and every waking day,

every time the t.v’s on we gotta stop and pray

pray for our lives and our loved one’s too,

but it’s nothing from the white man’s point of view.

 

Why can’t you hear us?

What about Rosa Parks and the bus?

She stood up for what’s right and so will I.

 

I will NOT be silenced,that much is true

Not until everyone is safe and has their rights,too

 

Give the police proper training!

So our black loved one’s lives can stop draining

The ones who have killed some of us, should be thrown in jail

Derek Chauvin should be in there without bail

For he committed an act of manslaughter,

Not even caring about George’s wife or daughter

 

People have lives to live and families to take care of,

they have a right to do that so just learn to love

we are ALL supposed to follow the rules and have rights,

So make your gun NOT the reason we say good night
