[Verse] Black Lives Matter... there is no debate It has escalated to the People vs. The State You better relate to it, because you might be next Color doesn't matter to the one who signs the checks It is all about the money. It is all about the power Watching dirty politics, I'm gonna need a shower Try not to devour the rhetoric that they're feeding you They're treating you unequal. The people'll start to see it too We're not confused. They're sleeping on our intellect Thinking we don't recognize the level of their disrespect That's why I'm hoping that you're keeping your eyes woke Praying on my knees. Or am I down here cuz I'm being choked? Tamir Rice, Sean Bell, and Mike Brown Amadou Diallo. Were all shot down Freddie Gray, Walter Scott, and John Crawford Even Sandra Bland has died unlawful Rekia Boyd, Eric Garner, and Trayvon Young Mr. Martin was a victim. How are they wrong? Aiyana Jones, Jon Ferrell, and Akai Gurley I see my family. I wonder what the world sees? I am not alone. I'm not the only one angry I wanna see some justice, but the system wants to hang me Cuz I'm a young, black threat AMERICA! Land of the liberty. Home of the debt! I just want a chance, I just wanna see my 30s I don't wanna take another plea from an attorney I just want my people to be free for the first time In this hemisphere since 1493 I keep it 100 like the rap Wilt Chamberlain Never gonna lose, I got a vision and I play to win Play this tape again so you get everything I'm mentioning My melanin is not a sin. So you better tell a friend Say it loud. I'm black and proud A million people marching, I was there to lead the crowd Justice or else. Is it just us and nobody else Who can help us get out of this hell? I don't wanna sell and I don't wanna be sold I don't wanna see a cell. So I'm gonna be bold You cannot control me, I might be loud But I'm free to have my voice and so I'm gonna move the crowd My sound won't be drowned by no gun pow "Hands up! Don't shoot!" Arms like a touchdown I touch ground international. Worldwide Black people everywhere. Open up your eyes! And I surmise the minds I impact Are for the better so don't say that I don't give back I'm running laps around your concept of rap and How many different cultures can identify as Black Identify as black [Bridge] BLACK LIVES MATTER!! (Say it Again!) BLACK LIVES MATTER!! (Say it Again!) BLACK LIVES MATTER!! (Say it Again!) BLACK LIVES MATTER!! (Say it Again!) [HOOK] BLACK LIVES MATTER MY LIFE MATTERS YOUR LIFE MATTERS OUR LIFE MATTERS (8x)
