Lyrics Six Months Later (Bonus Track) - Clarence the Kid

Okay it's been a few months since the movement popped off
Since I couldn't log off
Hypnotized by everybody steady shittin' on cops
Feeling scared as fuck but hoping that the protests won't stop
Knowing that a trend will end despite the root of the cause
But I get it, you ain't live it, most were being educated
Got a couple killers fired now the people think we made it
Corporations tryna profit, so they dropping PR statements
I ain't post a square and now some white girl telling me I'm racist
Funny how that happens
I'm a poet, I paint pictures in the form of rapping
Imagine being little kids just playing in a wagon
Then learning in this country, your life is just like a napkin
Disposable, this world been colder than the snow in Aspen
You could go from driving with the homies, singing, laughing
To seeing red and blue lights on the face of your assassin
Mama hurting when she see her baby in a casket
I swear America is scared of blackness

My people still dying out here
5-O still never get indicted out here
Yeah, yeah
I'm still seeing sirens out here
So many broken hearts still crying out here
Yeah, yeah
Some people still fighting out here
News source still say that we violent out here
Yeah, yeah
Too many stayin' silent out here
Black trans lives still getting bodied out here
And that's real

Look, your trend is our trauma
Really this ain't no attack I'm only tryna be honest
Uncle Sam been sick with racism, it's probably chronic
The problem wasn't fixed at all just cuz they gave us Obama
They only love us for everything that we do for the culture
With our dances, sports, and songs that we put out for exposure
But how come when you change the channel, you start changing your voices?
And when we need you all the most we're never feeling supported
We've been exploited for centuries, never saw the profit
Tried to build up in Tulsa, but Oklahoma stopped it
Fetishized, if everybody really loves the chocolate
Then why the hood so underfunded, my people are starving
I can go on and on for days, this shit is so disheartening
But I had to let y'all know why this is so important
We're exhausted, we're hurting and we're just getting started
We're fighting for our lives, will you choose to be part of it?
I hope so

Cuz my people still dying out here
5-O still never get indicted out here
Yeah, yeah
I still hear sirens out here
So many broken hearts still crying out here
Yeah, yeah
Some people still fighting out here
News source still say that we violent out here
Yeah, yeah
Too many stay silent out here
Black trans lives still getting bodied out here
And that's real

This war is forever
And we still got a long way to go
It's all black lives matter till the death of me

I think the funniest and most frustrating part about human nature
Is how short our attention span is, especially nowadays
We can't pay attention to anything for more than ten seconds
So when the movement popped off I already knew
Although everyone was getting involved and it was beautiful
The beauty was only going to be temporary
Just because something is no longer relevant to you
Doesn't mean it's over or it's not happening
It's too hard not to know what's going on
So you can choose to be apart of it
Or you can choose to just let it happen
