Yes
When they say not everything is about race
I say yes it is
You may not have experienced it
But I did
Your privilege is showing
Your ego suffocating
Your ignorance provoking
Your stupidity frustrating
Don't insult my intelligence
Racism is still prevalent
It's foundation American
I don't care if my voice makes me a villain
I will always speak up for victims
Of the unjust system
This is a black lived experience
And I will not let that be forgotten
My voice my biggest weapon
It's power could start a rebellion
And you would be very wrong if you think you can silence it
So yes everything is about race
And no we can't be erased
