I remember closing my eyes to the plight of our colored brothers and sisters
Thinking that it was all a lie
That the reports of police brutality that I was hearing was something the media falsified
But now I know where the truth lies
I have seen it now with my own eyes
And I think it's time to state my mind
'Lest I see America fall into demise, RO-B. Z.!
How many people have to be at the end of a shot before we realize we need change?
How many families have to be broken apart before we realize it's a rigged game?
How much more fighting do we have to endure?
How many more deaths do we have to ensure
Before we take a stand and demand reform
From the people, our lives to protect, they swore?
Frankly, I've never been at the wrong end of a gun
Or had to run away from the law- thank God for the opportunities he presented me
But when it's one race that they target just because it's their job
They I understand and support the protests that try to break the chains of history!
How many people gon' die because of your ignorance?
How many people gon' die because of your lies?
Just because not every policeman is bigoted
Doesn't mean that the ones who are aren't still inside!
It's like they want to falsify our force to fight
And then divide and take the lives they do not like
And send them straight up to the divine
We will not stand these blatant lies, we will fight
And raise our voice up to the sky to be heard by every girl and guy
And we will gladly die while we try, if it means we will save our brethren's lives
Yeah, this the movement that Martin Luther and Malcom X made to rise
That every race come together to unite
Left and right, this ain't no time to fight
Our plight's too strong to try and bite
'Cause violence ain't the answer- peace is
But without justice, our peace goes to pieces
And you cannot say that in this case, race does not matter
Because, in truth, All Lives Matter only if Black Lives Matter
I'm gone
