The streets are set on fire, black lives matter,
and things are looking dire; black lives matter.
Through assistive force and senseless killings,
police have raised black ire; black lives matter.
In their riot gear, cops attack the crowds,
and batons spark gunfire; black lives matter.
Blacks and whites marching for equality,
set the nation afire; black lives matter.
Steeped in the blood a black family spills,
is what bigots desire; black lives matter.
A black man, shot in the back seven times,
ignited a bonfire: black lives matter.
When white cops suddenly start shooting blacks,
panic spreads like wildfire; black lives matter.
There's so much hate in white America
that it may well backfire; black lives matter.
Remember Hitler's far-right agenda,
Jews burnt behind barbed wire; black lives matter.
Examine the foundations of your faith;
Emile's voice leads the choir, black lives matter.
