You’re going to kill us all

There are people in this world who still think that because we have a black president
We have some resident evil
Just because he is black not because of what he does and what he chooses
Whether or not you think he abuses his
Power did you hear about the Supreme Court trying to declare the Voting Rights Act
Unconstitutional because it’s an “outdated” pact

They say that racism doesn’t even exist anymore
But do you remember that kid in Florida who was shot and murdered
Going home from a store how absurd can you get?

You’ re going to kill us all
With your hate, because there are people in this world who say civil rights are
No longer an issue, see how far we’ve come
But you can’t say that we don’t have far to go
