We just wanna matter too
That don’t mean that that’s an attack on you
Think about it
If you was gripped up, against your will
Knowing damn well they’d kill
You, for simply fighting for you
Fucked up but it’s life and it’s true
You lucked up from the plight of my crew
Now you mad at us for wantin what’s due
Are you nervous when the police behind you
Is your hair unprofessional well mine too
Do they act like they finally found you
So they treat you like a dog but they hound you
Would you believe you came from ape’s
If you didn’t make monkeys and blacks relate
The sphinx nose you take
Makes me think of the battle Michael might of had with self hate
We just wanna matter too
That don’t mean that that’s an attack on you
I appreciate the gesture, but what the fuck is a statue
Breyana Taylor killers still walking past you
My oldest son share the name of Mr McClane
If you don’t feel my pain then stay in your lane
Going 40 above the limit disregarding the rain
400 years they all feel the same
The fuck is the problem man it’s honestly a shame
Cuz black culture moves everything
They tried to blame the shit on ketamine
If you hang with me then you can hear the truth inside
They still lynching and calling it suicide
If you could relate then maybe you would cry
Do they acknowledge that it matters if you alive
We just wanna matter too
That don’t mean that that’s an attack on you
I was born black you chose blue
Fuckin us for money that’s what hoes do
If my son wants some skittles
Would I let him walk the street just a little
With a hoodie on
And a mask due to pandemic laws
These systemic flaws
I couldn’t do it
Do I shield him from reality or let it ruin
His innocence
They don’t see us as innocent
This racial predicament
