Black Life

Black lives matter
That’s what they all say, well at least us African-Americans
White people seem so arrogant?
Why do they give us one month about our culture
They forget about it and attack us like a vulture
Martin Luther King and August Wilson had a big impact in this world
Why do white people seem so twirled?
White people ask why do we say nigga to greet each other?
That’s just how we are amongst one another
Plus we didn’t say nothing when y’all called us niggers
Or whipped us then pulled the trigger
People say you shouldn’t use slaves as an excuse
But that was our people that you verbally and physically abused
Till this day racism is still happening
We are all human and that’s saddening
People say we spend all our money on shoes and weed
That’s the only thing that makes us happy or agree
They had separated everything back in the day
They focused on us like prey
These days, black people get shot by white cops for no reason
They were beaten and left bleeding
Some heroes are Harriet Tubman, Barack Obama and Maya Angelou
Everyday we probably hear stuff on the stereo
White people think they’re too good to have the treatment we had
Glad, mad, happy, sad those are the feelings we felt
Why do parents beat us with belts?
Oh, sorry, I’m getting off track
Black don’t crack and that’s a fact
March on Washington, 1963
I’m glad that we’re all free
Montgomery Bus Boycott, Rosa Parks
African Americans had broken hearts
They used to tear us apart
We need to come together as a youth
Black people are overcomers and that’s the truth
