Tried to divide us
They tried to conquer us
Yet we still thrive
Got my head up high
I'm just a black man tryna get by
Nothing more, nothing less
But there's a few things I'd like to address
So lend me your ear
So another mother won't shed a tear
I'm tired of the injustice
It's not about you it's about us
Black people unite
Don't matter if you're as light as the sun
Or as dark as night
Come on join the fight
Black lives matter
Wooo
Black lives matter
Come on
Black lives matter
Wooo
Black, black, black, black, black
Tryna take us down
Every chance they get
I ain't taking it no more
Shaken to the core
Now let's even the score
I'm tired of being thrown around
White privilege throw it out the door
That's the sound
You eat, sleep and bleed
Well I eat, I sleep and I bleed too
Hey I'm human just like you
You want our rhythm but you
Don't want our blues
We fought in all your Wars
What more do we have to do
Come on
Black lives matter
Wooo
Black lives matter
Come on
Black lives matter
Wooo
Black, black, black, black, black
Black lives matter
Wooo
Black lives matter
Come on
Black lives matter
Wooo
Black, black, black, black, black
Time to liberate
No more time for debate
You get no love
For all the hate
Racism, prejudice and police brutality
Faced all that just for something as simple as equality
Oh lord, times are getting sadder
When not only blacks
Chant black lives matter
Living in a time
When my life is worth less than a dime
This is the true crime
Black lives matter
Wooo
Black lives matter
Come on
Black lives matter
Wooo
Black, black, black, black, black
Black lives matter
Wooo
Black lives matter
Come on
Black lives matter
Wooo
Black, black, black, black, black
