BLACK LIVES MATTER Lyrics by Brittney Chantele

Labels

2017

[Verse 1]
Ew I used to wanna to be a cop
Never smoked pot thought that it will kill my shot
And now I’m seeing all these flowers when I’m rollin’ round the block
Nightmares of my fam and friends lying down in chalk
Had to switch my plans
I don’t wanna be a cop
I don’t wanna wear a vest or a badge or a Glock
I don’t wanna be sorted with that sickness
Acquitted never convicted
The system makes the murderer a fucking victim
[Chorus 1]
Ou so you scared for your safety now
Then don’t take the badge
Don’t accept it now
Oh so you sacred for your safety now
Then don’t take the badge
Don’t accept it now
[Verse 2]
Yes we have to act this ain't time for small talk
Parents teach their kids never hang out in a flock
And damn sure never cross the street without the crosswalk
Never wanna see my own Mom’s widows walk
And I’m just stating the obvious for those are not blinded
We divided I’ve decided to take the evidence provided
Police misguided, juries divided, and white supremacy unwinding
So we marching with "BLACK LIVES MATTER" reciting
[Chorus 2]
I'm singing
Black lives matter now
Yeah im singing black lives matter now
Yeah I'm singing black lives matter now
I'm singing black lives matter now
[Hook 1]
Get down on your knees
Hands behind your head
You will be brought in alive not dead
Get down on your knees
Hands behind your head
You will be brought in alive not dead
[Hook 2]
Black on black crime don’t wanna hear it out your mouth
This that police brutality shit I’m talking bout
Black on black crime don’t wanna hear it out your mouth
This that police brutality shit I’m talking bout
[Chorus 2]
Black lives matter now
Yeah i'm singing black lives matter now
Yeah i'm singing black lives matter now
I'm singing black lives matter now
