Over and Over (BLM)


  • Just gonna hop right in
  •  
  • When you repeat over and over
  •  
  • The same problem on repeat
  •  
  • It doesn't get better, it only gets repeated
  •  
  • You can say "we need to stop this" a million times
  •  
  • All you do is keep the problem going
  •  
  • If racism is saying something bad about the blacks
  •  
  • Then what about all the black against black
  •  
  • Hispanic against hispanic 
  •  
  • White against white
  •  
  • Heck, why does it matter at all?
  •  
  • If you want to be against the fighting, be against it
  •  
  • Don't cause more hurt by specifying seperation
  •  
  • No lives matter more than others
  •  
  • All of us have prejudice, no matter race, gender, or sexuality
  •  
  • A cisgender, straight, white, male would have prejudice for being a cisgender, straight, white, male
  •  
  • Now, I don't support BLM, ALM, or any similar group
  •  
  • But I don't support slavery either
  •  
  • I support humanity getting over basic differences that don't even matter
  •  
  • Otherwise, we're bringing up the same event, over and over again

I chose the name Overcomer because I feel like I have overcome a lot of things in the past couple of years.
