I,B,L,M If Black Lives Matter
I Hear This Time AND Time Again
When Will THE Killing END
Come Together AND WIN
BUT Rather Keep Living IN SIN
IF Black Lives Matter
WHY Keep Killing Your
OWN Color
Giving Power TO Hate
and people
SAYING Lets Make America Great
While it eats its young
Especially our young black men
ITS Starts IN THE Home
Where Many Parents Cant WIN
NO Respect, Lack OF Faith
While THE World Waits
FOR OUR Kids TO Fall Deeper IN SIN
IF Black Lives Matter
WHY Keep Putting Down Each Other
ONE Acting More THEN THE Other
Having THE Means TO Help
BUT
Rather Talk About ONE Another
IF Black Lives Matter
Stop Talking About ALL THE Troubles
There's no story without struggle
WE ALL Make Mistakes AND may Stumble
ITS Time TO Take A Stand
Raise your hands
Black power!
When will you get Tired OF Burying Another
If Black lives matter
Then why kids go without a father
Men
BE THE Head not THE Tail
Stop Giving Your Soul TO Hell
Are a life in jail
Already hated
But we degrade and kill off our
OWN COLOR
Women GOD Created YOU TO BE Great
A man's help mate
But yet many mother's
Left alone to defend her home
And raising up her own
Upon GOD, Family, AND Faith
Give Praise TO GOD
This ISN'T Just A Phase
This Life WE Live IN IS A Maze
IF Black Lives Matter
Come together and win
We need our black men
Build a strong foundation
Destroy a cursed generation
Put a end to all the killing
Bring upon healing
It's time
When Will Someone Finish
What Martin Luther King Started
IF Black Lives Matter!!!!!
