paroles de chanson All Black Lives - Clarence the Kid , Kabwasa

Everyday's a bit more hopeless
When I wrote this I was all alone
Just thinking bout the bones in the ocean
Saltwater and my forefathers' blood
Mixing up into a hell of a potion
That I saw in the eyes of my mother
When she brought me in a world so corrupt, so broken
It could never be repaired, she was hoping that her little black boy
Could find a way to navigate through all the noise and the madness
In a vast land that'll never be content with my blackness
She just wanted to protect me
It's moments like these that show me that our strong black women are a blessing
So selfless, when they're the ones t hat could use some protecting
I've seen consistent support from our melanin sisters
They ready for war with the quickness
As soon as some shit popping off its with no hesitation
They'll step up to form a resistance and hold it down
So who am I to feel upset about our lack of freedom
When really it's queens that will step up and lead us
'Til justice is served to police who have fired at everyone with some color
But internally we don't check each other
When we talk down on the women thats lifting us up
The system is killing our brothers and sisters
But when it's the latter no one gives a fuck
Breonna Taylor was the first, Sandra Bland was a maybe
People still mess with Tory Lanez lame ass even after what he did to Megan
Ain't no kings here, men are trash for a reason, look at the stats
Ride for women on convenience, rarely believe them, look for additional facts
Damn, support is conditional
This is an issue, how can we support all our blacks
If there's so much conflict within our community
We on the verge of collapse
I seen attacks from all over the place
We ain't forget about you
Oluwatoyin you were such a beautiful voice
Full of hope and it hurt when the news
Broke that a leader like you was found broken
Disposable all at the hands of a dude
That look the same as me, with the same name as me
That was the story that proved to me
Too many of us abuse women
Too many do not include genders
Outside the binary, I think it's time to address the silence in the room
When it's people like Merci and Brayla and Tatiana
Why does no one wanna sign petitions?
Why does no one wanna get it trending?
I'm disgusted cuz not all of us are in this with the right intentions
BLM is the message, not just for men and women but for everybody
Regardless of sexual preference or gender expression
We in this battle together
'Til we get better at fighting internal oppression
Inside of our circle, we'll never be free
Imprisoned by hatred and lack of acceptance
We gotta be in this unanimously

We gotta be in this unanimously
Every single black life counts
Can't say black lives matter and forget about our trans lives
Forget about our gay black lives
Forget about our female black lives
How can we overcome the world if we can't even overcome ourselves?

Your love, stained by your blood
Your love, black skin stands above
Don't let her stand alone, yeah
Don't let them stand apart
