Lyrics

We begin this week with so much emotion and unrest all across the country
No justice, no peace
When officers arrived here
The calls for peace and justice growing louder
We want everybody to see this, yeah
Standing together, no more secrets, yeah
Lift every voice and we won't quit, yeah
No justice, no peace, defeat
Now we stand with us and speak
Who we got to protect and serve?
Our women and our children
Put in public housing ain't no privilege in them buildings
It's a one-in-a-million chance for my skin tone to make a million
The pain that we endure, they can't ignore
'Cause they gon' feel it, fuck your feelings
I matter, he matter, I matter, she matter
I matter, they matter, I matter, I matter
I matter, he matter, I matter, she matter
I matter, they matter, I matter, we matter (yeah)
We need change, we need something, they killin' us out in public
They talk about it in media, but still ain't brought us justice
We opened up the discussion, hate is steadily floodin'
We protestin' 'til they sentence the officers that have done it
Okay, black men gettin' money, yeah, they hate to see me win it
Yeah, they killin' off my people, but get mad when we get sick of it
Them **** feelin' this only after us 'cause they envy us a black king
To the other side, they ain't endin' us
For George Floyd, we at they neck, literally
For Ahmaud Arbery, we gon' jog their memory
For Brianna, we gon' do this tailor-made
For the world, we gon' make 'em say our names, yeah
Why are people so intimidated by black men?
Please don't tell me that you have black friends
Police out here feelin' they invincible
Do killings, that's convictable
You're gettin' away with murder 'cause they can, it's despicable
I matter, he matters, I matter, she matters
I matter, they matter, I matter, I matter
I matter, he matters, I matter, she matters
I matter, they matter, I matter, we matter
This is a coordinated activity happening across this nation
And so we are in a state of emergency
Black people are dying in a state of emergency
This is not a drill, they think their skin is the right to kill
They'll uphold human rights or human life, they don't know how righteous feel
They're being ruthless, acting stupid, so let's start the dumbin'
George called for his mom, you gotta know his brothers and sisters comin'
Black kings are the women
With no choice but being independent
If you can't see how it really been
Take a moment and feel some empathy and say it with me
Enough is enough
And we are not responsible for the mental illness
That has been inflicted upon our people by the American government, institutions
And those people who are in positions of power
I don't give a damn if they burn down Target
Because Target should be on the streets with us
