Black N Amerikkka
We call it murder
Out in these streets
It’s all murder
Sitting home on the couch
It’s all murder
On the phone in the backyard
It’s all murder
Skittles and Tea
It’s all murder
Driving while Black
It’s all murder
Car broke down
It’s all murder
Swerve the lane
It’s all murder
At the wrong neighbor asking for help
It’s all murder
Selling water and cigs
It’s all murder
Bird watching
Almost murder
Violence is never the answer
Shut that shit up
Tell that to the millions that look like me and my kin have been murdered
They say you didn’t follow directions
I call it death by skin tone
They say we don’t see color
I call it a lie it’s all in your tone
You got your knee on my neck
I can’t breathe
If you can speak
You breathing just fine
So then how did I die?
Why are these cities we built for free on fire
Because a blaze is the only thing you can understand
Why can’t you just do what is right
Treat me like you want me to treat you… right?
With respect!
With dignity cause we too have pride
Don’t talk to me out the side of your neck
Cause you think your privilege is a shield
The only thing your privilege shields you from is the truth
The truth that you have hatred
The truth that you are ruthless
The truth that you mean to demean
The truth that you teach your young to do the same
The truth that you don’t see me as you see someone that looks like you the same
The truth that you lie
You lie to hide what’s inside
You lie to hide your intentions
You lie to then apologize
You’re apology is not accepted
Period!
Power is in the change
Not the lies you tell
To make yourself feel better
