BLM
I will never back down
I will never keep quiet
When my people are being killed and shot down in silence.
BLACK LIVES MATTER
Is what I scream because those deceased have no voice so please.
Black voices must be amplified but all they do is nullify through assassination and mass incarcerations.
Emmet Till, Eric Garner and countless more. How many lives more will we need to mourn.
BLACK LIVES MATTER
Is what I scream when innocent black lives are seen as nothing but checks to please the thieves that are so right that left ain’t even being accepted as correct. Indictments being given there’s no such thing because 90% of the time it’s not about justice or peace but where the money leads.
No Justice, No Peace, No Crooked Police.
How long must we die.
It’s 2017 and we still don’t got the key
To unlock these chains on our feet
so
we
can
become
free.
