Love Not Hate


Honestly, we as people need to stop police brutality,

so that our young black males won't die so violently.

Accused of crimes they don't commit.

The police have the courts on their side for any assist. 

That ain't right.

This makes us mad and ready to fight.

They murder us for no reason.

They're crimes should be consider high treason.

Any law against equality, I don't believe in.

They bring us pain and confusion.

Our lives they abusing. 

But my belief in a better world is something I'm never losing.

Living in the light is always soothing.

Love instead of hate is what I'm forever choosing.
