BLACK LIVES MATTER

lyrics

You can't stop this
You can't throw this all away
You can't stop this
You can't let it all decay

Sliding lately
Driving me crazy

Where do we start we all got parts to play
I polished the parlance an poured heart an Sol in the page
To raise the bar none will undermine this
The wonders I’ve glimpsed succumb to silence
I can’t my eyelids are wide and I’d risk my life to lift
My license to ill equipped on the road know I’ve tripped just can’t stop this
The love in our midst misrepresented
What kinda justice is when we just get an inch
While the miles marked by scars and martyrs admit
As the climate climbs inclined to find the final straw
We all saw George call for his momma boy
Deployed police devoid at least a shred
Of decency to see that we the people equal more than
Blue eyed blonde and bred no wonder bread the root of all evilness


These ain’t the last days rat racing got us chasing
Our tales time tells plus heals all wounds
Consumerism got us living on on the edge
Overhead overheard in conservative circles
In terms of earth dazed wins low like Urkel
Did I do that deny the fact the tides are rising our impact
Will last till we cast our lot
When the cameras stop is it news or not
Views and streams they using memes to fuel extreme
In syncs what anchors mean tanks full steam Ahead
Don’t tread on we when the red white and blue
Moved to hues green and the feds won’t pursue whose behind the schemes in bed wit em too took the Tinder route
If you swipe right or left they still left us out
We gonna fight for the truth till the rabble roused
