Understand Vs Understood

Black lives scared to die
But dying scared Everyday 

Reach one, Reach one
It's time to Brave a way!

Colonized and tied down
Today, a different day
We asked, then we begged 
No more games
We've choosen not to play

Unless the rules you made
We negotiate today
The power of truth, understanding and Equality you see. 
Therefore no more lies 
Just Simplicity

Even though you might not agree 
At lease some Equity 

Game over because you don't play fair and like to cheat.
Believe Black Lives Matter 
Have some Decency!
