"What have you done?
There's no need to run.
If you've done nothing wrong, them Blue Lights should just pass you by."

For colored young men and women
Who's obsidian skin shines like pearls
against the harsh rays of the star that
shines the brightest
I'm here to let you know that
#blacklivesmatter
For mothers and fathers
Fighting the long fight
I'm here to let you know that
#blacklivesmatter
For a generation many are fearful for
Just know there's still much to be hopeful for
I'm here to let you know that
#blacklivesmatter
There'll be no peace until we're all
treated as one
Until color doesn't take precedence
over the way someone's looked upon
Until we can say their names and come
to realize that a road to peace has only
just begun.
It don't stop with MLK
It don't stop with a paper and pen
It don't stop with the disappearance of
the obvious line so many worked hard
to cross
We keep going
We keep going until they hear our voice
from every mountain top.
