Black Lives Matter
by Toya P.Y.T.
Dear White America,
Why are you pissed at me
is it that my history eliminates the mystery?
You deem me powerless, I'm undefeated cowardless
resiliency is prowess ascended the lotus flower
Told you you couldn't kill me
desperate to play the part
not destined to be my equal
no matched to light the dark
you're finished and I just started
was happy to birth the trauma
you ended up breeding artists
now you're hatin' the stretch marks
I'm embracing these war scars
my people in fast cars
my people with slow starts
refuse to play small parts
my people toppin' charts
delivering raw art
you can't oppress a generation when freedom is at heart
chorus
at heart
when freedom is at heart
no stoppin' it when it starts
when freedom is at heart
communities sadder
black lives matter
you mad that we said it
we mad that we had to
The underground railroad took strategy
who Harriet had to be could only come naturally
The moors colonized Europe displayed apathy
they stole a perfect blue print
than splash paint catastrophe
they disarmed unarmed relics
reversed psychology
blowing up shooting stars
that brought you astrology
despite the mission of total black execution
we show up to the table with peace as a solution
I'm embracing these war scars
my people in fast cars
my people with slow starts
refuse to play small parts
my people toppin' charts
delivering raw art
you can't oppress a generation when freedom is at heart
chorus
at heart
when freedom is at heart
no stoppin' it when it starts
when freedom is at heart
communities sadder
black lives matter
you mad that we said it
we mad that we had to
