We shouldn’t have to qualify our existence to justify the resistance, To racism’s hateful, murderous ways that confront us daily with death, fear and rage
We are beyond sick and tired of living in a country where our culture, talents and features are admired, but the recognition of our plight is not desired
Whether we are obtaining advanced degrees, from the hood, or somewhere in between, The senseless and ever increasing slaughter of our people is all to often seen,
Centuries of fighting from slavery through Civil rights for our humanity, If this country was truly great, we would all have the privilege to live free
We have the right to exist and will no longer continue to be dismissed, Our fight for justice will not cease until all black lives can live in peace
