Dear NFL,
Please don’t act like you care
For years
This man had no job because he took a knee on your field
Because justice for cops killing black folks hadn’t been served
We are and been getting murdered
By the same people, you look at as a hero
Since taking a knee his bank account has lost zeros
Been talked down upon by your media
Now you’re changing the anthem-like that’s going to erase anything
We have been driving around with the anxiety and thought that we won’t make it home
Do you know what that feels like, do you?
Lights flashing in our rearview
Cops pulling guns on us
We say we didn’t do anything but our voices are muzzled by bullets
Knees on our necks
We say we can’t breathe
But we are still killed
We marched with no media behind us
We thought we had a leader when he took a knee for us
But you took away some of his buzz
When you excluded him from everything
While our voices were muzzled by your actions
Now you have compassion
Seems like your saving face
Companies changing every little thing they think is racist or will hurt the black people so they can save themselves from the embarrassment
A king took a knee for justice and was met with harassment
You even went as far to cut his name out a song like it was cuss word
His voice is something you didn’t want heard
Now your voice shouldn’t be heard
Don’t change cause it’s trending
If your all about changing then why he don’t have a jersey on his back?
He being Colin Kapernick
I know you didn’t like hearing his name
