What Matters


My Life Matter 

Being Black and Gay In The U.S. 

Im not gone lie, it brings stress 

You get judged if you act less

Less Than a “Man” who care less

He’s Straight 

I don’t see him being looked down on

I don’t see him being starred at

Im still a man too, where can my happiness be at?

Dont Shoot, Don’t Judge

All Lives Matter 

But when it comes to being different, I hear all shots fired

My Life Matter Too 

Im Just A Little Different By The Eyes

I Can cover up my skin and change my voice for disguise 

but what would that help

if I’m hiding my truth 

Let us all come together and be one 

Because All Lives Matter 

My Life Matter 

And Your Life Matters Too
