We Still Matter

I'm tired of the hurt

I'm tired of the pain

I'm tired of the white man killing us off

What do they have to gain

I'm tired of the tears

Tired of the lies

Everyone's fighting and falling apart

It will be the same shit when the next man dies

I'm tired of my people dying

Somebody help us please

I'm tired of our leaders lying

It's like they don't want peace

I'm tired of these colored wars

White man closing doors

Racism is alive and well

Sandra Bland didn't kill herself

We matter, We matter

We matter, We matter

We matter, We matter

We still matter

All the happy times

Days that we smile

I'll give anything just for that

We haven't had that in a while

No black or white

Everybody's alright

No curfews cuz the systems right

And I can wave to the policeman hi

I'm tired of the white man walking

Meanwhile the black man bleeds

Tired of the police they shooting

When the black man on his knees

I'm helpless and on the floor

Tell me what you need backup for

George Floyd said officer please

I can't breathe and you didn't lift your knees

We matter, We matter

We still matter

Trayvon was just 17

Tamir died before he turned 13

Michael brown got shot 6 times

Dontre Hamilton got 14

Tony didn't know what he was doing

John Crawford had a BB holding

Izelle Ford was violated

Luhqwan was shot while walking

Akai luh the two girls that he got

Martin and Jerome was in a bad spot

We must remember the Charleston Nine

And Charley got shot by 3 whole cops

Gray, Garner, Chapman, couldn't breathe

Hill and Scott served this country

Eric Harris didn't have no gun
