You wrapped your heart
In hate
Then wore it proudly
In public
When the election is over
N' your pride is hiding
My love for all
Will still be standing tall
When the ELECTION is OVER
N' your MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN
Paraphernalia is tucked away
Until the next election
Or innocent
Young...
Black...
Children's life's ...
Hangs in the balance
I WILL
REMEMBER
YOUR HATE
I won't forget
How you helped tear
Down our country
N' kill our loved ones
I won't forget
The joy & humor
You found in our suffering
WE ARE PEOPLE
JUST LIKE YOU
WHEN THE ELECTION IS OVER
My skin will still be THIS black
Whether or not
BLUE OR RED WINS
We still bleed blood
When cut
When the election is over
N' your racism
Goes back in hiding
Like a groundhog
Preparing for longer winters
I will remember
How George Floyd
Said he couldn't breathe
More then twenty times
How he called out for his Momma
Before he took his last breath
N racism kept that man
Kneeling on his neck
Like you kneel
Right before you pop the question
I won't forget
How an officer
OF THE LAW
Fired 32 shots
Into Breonna Taylor's apartment
Hitting her with six bullets
Killing her
I WONT FORGET HOW
The the media turned her into
A drug slanging
Gun toting THUG
All because they didn't want to
Give justice where it was due
When the election is over
N' everyones settled back
Into their day to day lives
I still will fear for mine
Because my name is
ERIC GARDNER
MICHAEL BROWN
DAMIAN DANIELS
RAYSHARD BROOKS
CORNELIUS FREDERICKS
STEVEN TAYLOR
DOMINIQUE CLAYTON
ALEAH JENKINS
DEBORAH DANNER
BETTIE JONES
SANDRA BLAND
SUSIE JACKSON
When the election is over
N' you take off your
Red shirts & Hats...
Remove your Confederate flag wraps
From your souped up trucks
I will remember
How you could've stood with us
Instead of against us
I will remember how
You protested our protest
With ALL LIVES MATTER
When we were just trying to change
The way
People saw us as
Expendable
I will remember your hate
Our people endured slavery
For hundreds of years
Had great leaders
That were killed in cold blood
Like Martin Luther King Jr.
Who fought In race wars
Just for 52 years later the same shit
To be going on
I use to think
If the shoe was on the other foot
You wouldn't still act the way you did
Now all I can think
Is it doesn't even matter
If the roles were reversed
You'd still hate the skin
We walk-in
As if yours aren't made
Of the same things
Our country is beyond damage control
We need to scrap it
N' start all over again
