Lyrics

We begin this week with so much emotion and unrest all across the country No justice, no peace When officers arrived here The calls for peace and justice growing louder We want everybody to see this, yeah Standing together, no more secrets, yeah Lift every voice and we won't quit, yeah No justice, no peace, defeat Now we stand with us and speak Who we got to protect and serve? Our women and our children Put in public housing ain't no privilege in them buildings It's a one-in-a-million chance for my skin tone to make a million The pain that we endure, they can't ignore 'Cause they gon' feel it, fuck your feelings I matter, he matter, I matter, she matter I matter, they matter, I matter, I matter I matter, he matter, I matter, she matter I matter, they matter, I matter, we matter (yeah) We need change, we need something, they killin' us out in public They talk about it in media, but still ain't brought us justice We opened up the discussion, hate is steadily floodin' We protestin' 'til they sentence the officers that have done it Okay, black men gettin' money, yeah, they hate to see me win it Yeah, they killin' off my people, but get mad when we get sick of it Them niggas feelin' this only after us 'cause they envy us a black king To the other side, they ain't endin' us For George Floyd, we at they neck, literally For Ahmaud Arbery, we gon' jog their memory For Brianna, we gon' do this tailor-made For the world, we gon' make 'em say our names, yeah Why are people so intimidated by black men? Please don't tell me that you have black friends Police out here feelin' they invincible Do killings, that's convictable You're gettin' away with murder 'cause they can, it's despicable I matter, he matters, I matter, she matters I matter, they matter, I matter, I matter I matter, he matters, I matter, she matters I matter, they matter, I matter, we matter This is a coordinated activity happening across this nation And so we are in a state of emergency Black people are dying in a state of emergency This is not a drill, they think their skin is the right to kill They'll uphold human rights or human life, they don't know how righteous feel They're being ruthless, acting stupid, so let's start the dumbin' George called for his mom, you gotta know his brothers and sisters comin' Black kings are the women With no choice but being independent If you can't see how it really been Take a moment and feel some empathy and say it with me Enough is enough And we are not responsible for the mental illness That has been inflicted upon our people by the American government, institutions And those people who are in positions of power I don't give a damn if they burn down Target Because Target should be on the streets with us
