Lyrics Black Matter - Jay Gatz

Yung Nab baby

I feel like a heavyweight
Roll up and medicate
Get money never hate
I got a heavy plate
This smoke I blow levitate
You better be very worried
This years looking very scary
I can't come in second like February
Inside all my ppl coffins
There's kings and queens in all them
Outside all my ppl marchin'
But still they kill what's darker
George Floyd said he couldn't breathe
I wish somebody would've stopped them
Leaves fall from the tree in fall
Cause they can't breathe in autumn
What they do? Put us in piles and put us in bags
Throw us away, like we was trash
America's finest landscaping
The Uniform come with a gun and a badge
And no you are not better than
You fear what you don't understand
Fail to see the innocence in my melanin
Bitter circles need better friends
We need Less Facebook, more hustle
More opinions lead to more trouble
People that I went to school with, or was cool wit
Let it all crumble
Never did you want the understanding
You don't care you got the upper hand and
People only react to whatever
Directly affects them, I can't fucking stand it

Let that black king grow, let our black queens live!
Let that black king grow, let our black queens live!
Let that black king grow, let our black queens live!
And let the whole world know, just how our black world is!
Let that black king grow, let our black queens live!
Let that black king grow, let our black queens live!
Let that black king grow, let our black queens live!
And let the whole world know, just how our black world is

Black Matter

I just pray I make it back home!
I just wanna make it back home safe
I just wanna make it back home!
I just pray I make it back home safe
I just pray I make it back home!
I just wanna make it back home safe
My hands high I won't run, don't got no gun or nuttin'
Officer don't shoot!

Is the world in peace or pieces?
Why don't you police your demons?
Why don't you police police
When they are killing ppl week
By week of color tryna make it decent living?
Type em in and you can see the killings
I get numb-er every pleaded sentence
Another body on the body camera,
They don't wanna believe some police are menace
But I think that they're gettin' the point now
Even though we still got a long way
I just hope that my brothers is safe
It was weed get the gun out my face
They just kill us for nothing these days
Lately I ain't had nothing to say
Lately I ain't had nothing but hate
Lately I ain't need nothing but faith

Let that black king grow, let our black queens live!
Let that black king grow, let our black queens live!
Let that black king grow, let our black queens live!
And let the whole world know, just how our black world is!
Let that black king grow, let our black queens live!
Let that black king grow, let our black queens live!
Let that black king grow, let our black queens live!
And let the whole world know, just how our black world is

I just pray I make it back home!
I just wanna make it back home safe
I just wanna make it back home!
I just pray I make it back home safe
I just pray I make it back home!
I just wanna make it back home safe
My hands high I won't run, don't got no gun or nuttin'
Officer don't shoot!
