Black lives matter
Let’s add to the chatter
The bodies piling up
As blood continues to splatter
It looks like another
Civil war in the usa
What are we supposed to do
What more can we say
All the beef
Should be in the past
Every day another body
Laying in the casket
We bury brother after brother
And it’s coming back
It feels like a crime
Just walking while being black
You can look the other way
And say what’s done is done
A husband, a friend
A child, father, son
Where is compassion
Where is the love
Everybody plays a part
No one is above
Seriously
Dark skinned & driving crazy
Yeah he sealed the deal
They would’ve acted the same
Even if jesus took the wheel
Reaching for his gun,
Judge, gangsta in his ford
No wonder why the whites
Winning the oscar awards
No compassion, no regrets
No one understands
Even as they pried the boy
Mama outta his cold hands
Working in secret
Social media we applaud
Our eyes are watching you
As he’s watching the lord
Was he a thug in a hoodie
Tried to turn and run
A husband, a friend
A child, father, son
Where is compassion
Where is the love
Everybody plays a part
No one is above
Seriously
Now to the bangers that’s killing
Their own year after year
Put down the semi automatics
You’re feeding into fear
Revenge served frequently
Anger unabated
With weapons not around
The second amendment was created
We’re making widows and orphans
The daily repeat
Shots rang out as the bullets
Knock him off his feet
Don’t give up on life
Could be another way
We are the world
And every day can be a good day
You can try to justify it
The bullet came from your gun
A husband, a friend
A child, father, son
Where’s the compassion
Where is the love
Everybody plays a part
No one is above
Seriously
Where do that leave us
What are the answers
The hatred with each other
Done turn into cancer
We really need to do something quick
Because all this love is love
That’s turning push into shoving
Everyone needs to take
A look at themselves
We need solutions today
Cause we could use the help
God blessed us with these precious lives
He giveth and he taketh away
Let’s stop fighting, come on
The data’s too much to bear
Take it one by one
A husband, a friend
A child, father, son
Where is compassion
Where is the love
Everybody plays a part
No one is above
The data’s too much to bear
Take it one by one
A husband, a friend
A child, father, son
Where is compassion
Where is the love
Everybody plays a part
No one is above
Seriously!
