Black People Matter


Black People Matter 

Since I was little I was told we have it the harsest in life that 

Life can be a gift

Beautiful days to come

For life itself is great

People all around us criticize and stare

By the way we look and what we wear

Don't Black People Matter

How the color of our skin

Some could see it as a burden to be the color they are

Black People Matter

Although it is not as the 1930s wear we sit at different areas

But it's there hidden like mold under the ferry going for a quick breeze 

Black People Matter

The change comes from ourselves to stand tall to show our pride 

To reveal our own bright side

To the people who care they can come to no matter the race if they look like do-la-de-do

Our destiny is of our choosing if we want ir

The thing we need to do is just admit

Because Black People Matter

We are capable to have the confidence, intergrity, and pride of those before us

Since we are all beautiful creatures from the Lord himself it makes sense to know

Life can be a gift

Beautiful days to come

For life itself is great 

To show the world Black People Matter too
