Текст песни Black Lives Matter (Intro) - Ellesse

E double L, E double S, E
Ellesse, that's me
20 years ago, well I guess it's 21 now
Happy birthday to me (aye, aye)

21 years ago is when my story started
But I didn't know that I would become so disheartened
I don't know what to do
Don't know what to say
But I guess that I'll still be judged for being me anyway
I have sinned
And I will sin again
But my Father forgives
And I have faith in Him
I will change for Him (for Him)
I will live for Him (for Him)
He's my ride or die
Amen (amen)

Black lives matter
All lives matter
But all lives don't matter until black lives matter
That's all we're tryna say but y'all don't hear us anyway
What's the dealio
Are you okay, are we okay
Black lives matter
All lives matter
But all lives don't matter until black lives matter
But y'all ain't hearin us so we continue to fuss and fight
We fight for what's right but we don't know what's right
Cops shootin us in the middle of the night
Cops shootin us in broad daylight
Cops shootin us before we've had time to cry
About the last guy that y'all shot in the street
And what was he doin
Oh, he was sellin CDs
Makin money for his family
But y'all never see what we see
It's like if he has a mugshot he gets shot (shot, shot, shot)
Black man with a hoodie in yeah he gets shot (shot, shot, shot)
Black boy walkin to his bus stop he gets shot (shot, shot, shot)
When will this sadness
When will this madness end
When will it stop

We just gotta spread love, spread love, spread love
That's all we got
So spread love, spread love, spread love

And cops don't deserve to be shot either
The good cops are payin for the bad cops mistakes
And that's not right (that's not right)
And we don't want no violence
But we will not be silent no more
We don't want no violence
But we will not be silent no more, no more (no more)

Just spread love
