3 reasons
Let me tell y’all a story about a Melanin dipped boy
He’s human who loves to run and play wit toys
He was perceived as happy and full of joy
He even dreamed of one day being a cowboy
He dreamed of riding through a valley
With his black horse named sally
But sadly that wasn’t his reality
His reality was that men like him were hung on a tree
One day this boy was playing
With these kids who were saying
Things that got his heart racing
And ended with him crying, yelling
Later that night, 3 white men took the kid
Gagged him and covered the boys eyelid
Another black boy saw this and just hid
And let them do what they did
They took the Lil boy to a place that was very loud
They took the blind fold off and he saw a large crowd
A crowd of white men, women, and children so proud
He saw the white kid from earlier, he smiled and bowed
To his right were two other black guys
One saw the little boy and with pain asked why
The white showman laughed to hide this lie
This lie of justice in reality a show for the white eye
The two black men said “it’s going to be okay son”
Just look up and find the star brighter than the sun
Don’t look down, look up till it’s done
Look up, until it’s done son
The boy saw the showman point at the two
Pointed at the first and yelled murder and the crowed went boo
Pointed at the second and yelled theft and the crowed went boo
Point at the boy and laughed to like he was a monkey in a zoo
The showman then pointed at the puppeteer
The men yelled look up and don’t listen to your ear
Look up at that stars, forget the fear
Look up at the starts, until you disappear
The boy looked up and focused on his breathe
Didn’t listen to the others suffocating to death
Looked up until he disappeared and his breathe left
Just looked up until his last breathe left

3 reason for lynchin season
3 reasons for lynching in a place of freedom
The country of the free they say
But for me there’s still a delay
The country of the brave they say
But scared of young men like Freddie Gray
The country of dreams they say
But got us as entertainment, their display
Almost 250 years of People in chains
People who had royalty in their veins
Taken from home to erase their names
With an eraser made of pure pain
Now they claim that we dangerous
But all they do is endanger us
Please understand why 12 is hard to trust
If u dont then let us sit down and discuss
How blacks are over 200% more likely
To get shot down by the cops who are so mighty
But get scared when they see anything shiny
And I’m not talking about the type that make you icy
Now beside niggas dyin from lyinchin
We got cops doin kkk’s mission
Killin and throwin us away like they fishin
They want us gone, we know the vision
We think this system we live in is broken
We try fixing a system that’s perfectly workin
A system created by the white man that is built in
This system we live in today isn’t broken,
trust me it’s workin
But how is it working,
if we’re hurtin
Behind closed curtains
How ,if I don’t feel supported
Ain’t I a person
3/5th actually, still just 3/5
Color blind people think that’s myth
White man got his guns, he a weaopsmith
thats all he got, and them cages they throw us in
but all I got is my voice, my weapon, I’m a black wordsmith
Words sharper than iron
holier than god’s choir
Scarier than hells fire
all truth not a liar
A weapon created to destroy empires
Rebuild again cuz my shi fuckin inspire
Inspire others to see how perfectly this system is working
The same system created by rich white men whipping
Us blacks to keep us under
Which got me to wonder
Whites created a system to benefit the white man
To keep others from having the upper han
Created to keep us mute
Even when thousands were being excute
...ed
Hung by the head
Burnt in their bed
They called it justice
Government said it just is
Just is how it is
Just is how it is
That’s why we kneel
Because deep down we feel
Like the government doesn’t want to deal
With the truth and to them it’s unreal
I ain’t no micheal but I’m still brown
6 shots left that brotha on the ground
Thanks to those who are meant to protect but are just clowns
These people are it, clowns killin kids wit rounds
