Yeah I'm black I deserved to be loved

If you cut me you will see that we all bleed the same blood

We all broken we all sinners moulded by the same God

And when i feel like breaking down all i need is a hug

I need clarity

This is really insanity

All these years and and we still accommodating the same mentality

Another racist with a uniform

Another black man as the casualty

Another father, brother, son, boyfriend, husband face fatality

They don't stop to think of what they doing to the Families

Some of us were forced here overseas

Some of us left our countries to find peace

Instead we find our sons dying daily in the streets

Killed by others

Killing eachother

No one cares for the black life

If the police killing us then whos gone protect us and our rights

I see them say all lives matter

Well they say the devil is very beautiful

Because behind that harmless comment is avoidance of something critical

when they pull them over they get paranoid and cynical

And the stereotype is that black men are the criminals

I don't believe in violence

And I don't believe in crime

But we've done it peacefully for years and they don't hear our painful cries

So we fight fire with fire now there's fires in the street

Smashing windows, looting stores we ain't stopping for police

Say I'm evil, say I'm wrong, we just fighting to be free

Our dead will speak again through the protest, anarchy

And It's good to see

The compassion of humanity

People posting on their stories internationally

White, black, and other ethnicities

join together against a common enemy

an old mindset, that our skin is our jersey

That's separated us for centuries

And if you fight by our side then we'll fight by yours too

I can't hold my tongue to inconsistencies

Hypocrisy

Against what is true

Black people aren't innocent we've contributed to the flu

Saying white people aren't funny, can't dance or make flavourful food

Don't get me wrong I'm not compiring the two, racism against blacks has a long history

But it all starts in the heart, all our morals should have symmetry

Like martin luther had a dream

I have a vision of a world without division,

And no sterotypes

I know it will take time like an isrealite

But anything to help my son sleep better at night

First step is with me, can I be better in this path I'm taking?

Bout time I clocked Our moral compasses need calibration

Because when trying to do right

Core ethics get left aside

Because we trying to define

Good and evil, like when eve reached for the vine

The same people who scream BLM

Are the same ones who lie

Or cheat, or bring people down behind their back

Racism and bullying both have the same effect

But for some reason we think ones okay and the other one is trash

We're all lost we're all sinners who have something to correct

That's why I turn to God for the direction on the map

So I pray for better days

For the families in pain

And I pray my son don't grow and emulate those of his race

That are killing people daily but still say BLM like they cared about that boy when they showed their op the fade

Black life

Black excellence

We're not saying blacks everything

We just want better examples than these rapper representatives

And chance to live our lives so we grow and can do better things

We want justice for the blood poured

Sometimes to find peace you got to make war

hopefully the death of one man can save a million more

Rest.In.Paradise forevermore. George
