I’m Black:
All I keep hearing is keep calm it will be okay
I can’t keep calm I am black
They say relax
But you are not black
You don’t get attacked
But I get smacked
I get smacked because I match the description of a suspect in this incident
Oh what a coincidence
This is getting irritant
Get beaten and brutalize with no evidence
This is nothing new its been in existence
I’m ready to go the distance
Get pulled over each day because of your lights
You tell them you know your rights
Still get searched with no warrant
They say do you have any guns
You mind as well give no response
Before you know it you in handcuffs on the curb
Getting searched
These cops are starting to purge
Ask for id and then shots occur
Now the people start to converge
Another cop is not charged
They say violence doesn’t solve anything
Well back in the day we use to march in peace
Until our fearless leader was gun down on a balcony
His killer simply went missing
Just like that plane simply went missing
Hmm
This year people are going nuts over gun control laws
Gun control laws can’t stop the police
We need peace
But thousand of people are killed and their case is left in a breeze
So I continue to tap on these keys
And let my words breathe
I can’t keep calm I am black
Be respectful and do as they say
A man on the ground with his hands up
I guess he wasn’t respectful enough
Or that was just his bad luck
They say not all cops are bad
Okay tell me what a good cop is
One that doesn’t use his fist
Or one that when he has to apprehend a suspect he has to use violence
But I thought violence is bad
Cops come to schools to tell the kids to never use violence
Wow that’s so crazy
That’s like a bully saying stop bullying
Or K. Michelle saying butt shots is not good
Or maybe like a thief saying don’t steal
Another unarmed man or child die each day
Everyday I feel like I’m next
So each day I pray
Because at the end of the day
I’m black
