Black boys deserve flowers too
Black boys deserve flowers too
Black boys deserve flowers too
Not just at their funerals
Not when they're already gone
Not when we are just mourning them
Black boys deserve flowers too
Not just laid at their tombstone
Not just because you feel guilty
Not just because you couldn't love them fully
Black boys deserve flowers too
This is long overdue
They deserve it for just existing
They deserve it when they're hurting
Especially when they are suffering
Black boys deserve flowers too
Even just as a thank you
Even just to say I love you
A way to say I appreciate you
Because black boys deserve flowers too
