All Lives Matter
Sometimes I look at the news and I feel like I'm living in another decade
With all these images of police of brutality
It's like the powers that be done lost all sense of morality
I thought the oath was to protect and serve
But if that's the goal then why is there another young black male lying dead on curve
Shot from the gun of one of the boys in blue
I thought the way it works is
That if you put your hands up
Then
They're not suppose to shoot
As a result now we got young black males taking sniper shots on the roof
Trying to kill anybody in blue
Black
White
It don't matter
But I thought God created us all in his own image
So
With that being said
Shouldn't all lives matter
I see all the commotion and I hear all the chatter
It seems like everyone done lost they damn mind
With trigger happy fingers ready to set it off at the drop of dime
That's word to Queen Latifah man
I say we all just calm the fuck down and smoke some reefa man
You see it's been a long hot summer
And I'm tired of hearing somebody mamma, screaming
"Why you shot my baby!?"
It just seems like this world done got so crazy
It seems like every week something tragic happens that it amazes me
Shooting up gay clubs and churches
To the crazy and insane I gotta ask ya
Was it all worth it
Just to get your point across
I say all lives matter
But on the real it seems like us black folks are living through a modern day holocaust
It's been a long hot summer
