BLM Lyrics by Ellect

Intellectual Property

2021

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 will start to see it too

We're not confused. They're sleeping on our intellect
Thinking we don't understand the levels to their disrespect

That's why I'm hoping 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
(Antwon Rose)
Freddie Gray, Walter Scott, and John Crawford
(Brianna Taylor)
Even Sandra Bland has died unlawful
(Nia Wilson)
Rekia Boyd, Eric Garner, and Trayvon
Young Mr. Martin was a victim. How are they wrong?
(George Floyd)
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. The system wants to hang me
Cuz I'm a young, black threat in America
Land of the liberty. Home of the debt

I just want a chance, I just wanna see my 30s
I don't want to 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. The rap Wilt Chamberlain
Never gonna lose, I got a vision. I came to win
Play this tape again and you'll 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 and so I'm gonna be bold
You cannot control me, I might be loud
But I'm free to have my voice, 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 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!)


CHANT (9x)
Black Lives Matter
My life matters!
Your life matters!
Our life matters!

Our life matters


OUTRO
No justice! No peace!
No justice! No peace!
No justice! No peace!
No justice! No peace!
No justice! No peace!
No justice! No peace!
No justice! No peace!
