SAY HER NAME 

 

Black women Oh black women 

Our Queens and source of protection 

Being Stripped of dignity 

Our melanin oura is to much for you 

 

Our Queens can’t even feel comfortable 

The day in the life of a mother in distress being taken from her kids and left for death

Being treated like animals 

Is what you feel makes sense 

The pain and sorrow from funerals 

Will never come to an end

 

You pull out a phone and show the world my struggle

Beautiful black queens being killed without a rebuttal 

Wheres our voice 

When can we be heard 

 

Killed in silence 

Like a criminal 

No less with the erge to 

SPEAK UP !!!

HELP ME 

I NEED YOUR VOICE 

Listen to me 

WERE DYING JUST AS MUCH BUT DO WE MATTER 

DO BLACK WOMEN MATTER 

 

 

Breonna Taylor:

Say her name 

A peaceful soul 

Robbed of Innocent 

dreams and thoughts wondering all asleep 

But to be shot to death 

With a deep feeling of greif 

Is all you can offer

Blaming your ignorance and racism 

On the wonders of she would’ve killed me 

Trained to handle violence and remain calm 

But When a gun is in my face and I’m scared and un armed you kill me  

Calling me a nigga like it has no meaning 

No stress , no heart, no pain and sorrow 

Queens not able to tell there kids they’ll be a brighter tomorrow 

I’m angry 

I’m done 

I’m fed up with with the lies

 Black lives are not going to matter until we stop trying to divide; this system we call equal 

My people are tired 

Police are just liars 

ACAB is movement 

To speak and desire freedom and happiness of brown boys and girls able to be proud and happy of there coils and curls
