Injustice is served
Black lives matter
All lives matter
Both are true, but who's killing who?
Not just murder
Silent murder
Of hopes, dreams, crushed by circumstance.
From poverty
More poverty
The cycle pulls people back in.
Arrived as slaves
Remained as slaves
To blind, suppressive ignorance.
I'm not afraid
He is afraid
Why should I have this privilege?
Why do you have
Why do I have
The power to strip away life?
Serve and protect
Who will protect
When the protector makes danger?
We're made equal
We are equal
In the eyes of the Supreme Judge.
Wake up America
Stand up America
No more brothers, fathers, should die.
Black lives matter
All lives matter
Both are true, but who's killing who.
