RIP George

RIP Sandra
RIP Martin
RIP Garner
RIP tamir
You my Emmett Till
Broken I feel, justice I want
We pray and kneel, they kneel and kill
It’s all on cam, well I’ll be damned
The American Dream feel like a scam
Well maybe not a scam cause I see others reach it
They just have fairer skin, slimmer features
Deeper pockets, deep family ties
More real estate, bloodline red lined
I was made for such a time, note to self
We got work to do God pulled me off the shelf
I ain’t hear to play, I got something to say
This won’t affect my pay, cause I pay myself
Black lives matters, let’s end the chatter
You counter "All matter!" I’m like "You’re right madam
Did you know that Jesus left the 99
To save the one black sheep from the slaughter time?
Doesn’t mean the 99 aren't wanted
But God is focused on those being hunted"
Put your fist high, shoutout Shaun King
That negro spiritual, let freedom ring
We got the best actors...Will, Denzel, Viola
Golden Globe cheers, skin Cherry Cola
Billionaire Hova, gave me point me of reference
Use music as leverage for other endeavors
Man my culture clever, endure any weather
We call out to heaven, we in this together
Doctors and lawyers, senior VPs
Pastors and artist, mocha tone made us targets
It don’t matter what you think, we matter regardless
Gotta pay homage, Martin, Malcolm & Garvey
Was tied up four millennia then marked as tardy
Class already started, you got all the answers
Your hate is a cancer, love is just my answer
