lirik lagu black lives matter anthem – king sway

[verse: king sway]

what’s it like to be black
to know that when you leave, you might never come back
to know that in the streets you’re more pr*ne to attack
doesn’t have to be directly, it can be how you act

okay talk to me and i’ll talk back
and i’ll tell y’all where my heads at
you don’t understand what it’s like for me
and that’s no crime, yo i get that

but your crime is, silence
in the wake of all this violence
there’s a bigger picture than the two us
so don’t act for me. this is for our kids

[chorus: king sway]

and we need more than a hashtag
we need all people, even non*blacks
this is our time where we fight back
where you put your money where your mouth at

it’s time to show the world where the love’s at
get your mother, father, sister, brother, daughter
grandparents and your sons too, and you can sing along if you know
the tune
like, black lives matter
black lives matter
i said, black lives matter
black lives matter

i said, black lives matter
black lives matter
i said, black lives matter
i said, black lives matter

[verse: king sway]

life’s a game when you roll the dice
but a black man, pays the price
if you come at me and ask my advice
see it through their children’s eyes

george floyd had 5 kids, he had 5 kids
let’s talk about tracy martin, cause zimmerman took his

awww it’s crazy
if i walk alone then i’m shady
can’t even trust the police, or the hood watch to come save me
i can’t protect my lady, i can’t protect my baby
officer i can’t breathe, why the f*ck do you hate me
talk to me and i’ll talk back
write to me and i’ll write back
there’s a rotten few in a good bunch
it ain’t all of y’all and i know that

but the good ones who are silent
are no different from the violent
when you hear the sound of these sirens
i hope it sits well on your conscience

[chorus: king sway]

and we need more than a hashtag
we need all people, even non*blacks
this is our time where we fight back
where you put your money where your mouth at

it’s time to show the world where the love’s at
get your mother, father, sister, brother, daughter
grandparents and your sons too, and you can sing along if you know the tune

like, black lives matter
black lives matter
i said, black lives matter
black lives matter
i said, black lives matter
black lives matter
i said, black lives matter
i said, black lives matter

[voice note]

the systematic k!llings of our sisters and brothers
like the public execution of george floyd
cannot go unnoticed and unchallenged
the continued disregard for black and brown lives by white supremicists

both visible and invisible
as well as public institutions meant to protect us
and to promote the rule of law
means that none of us are safe
we cannot stay silent, our silence will not protect us

[outro]

hey hey, ho ho racism has got to go
hey hey, ho ho racism has got to go
hey hey, ho ho racism has got to go
hey hey, ho ho racism has got to go
