Текст песни I Matter (feat. Alex Parker) - Mekter

For making these lil girls feel like they dirt
I'ma show 'em their worth
For making a lil boy fearful of hurt
I'ma show him is virtue
They treat being black in this world as a curse
Never forget you're the fruit of the earth
The root of the earth
Rulers of the earth
I know you don't know what to with this earth when it treats you like shit
You supposed to be looking at sesame street
You still just a kid
Far too much innocence lost
Too many growing up quick
Too many growing up fatherless, motherless
All cuz of what crooked officers did
But the nights always dark before dawn
And I'ma get the sunrise right for my unborns
They gon know peace
Seeking justice so that they can know peace
And sip on they Arizonas in peace
Cuz they all matter

I matter even when you think we do not
I matter before the police have shot
Before they choke me out for 8:46
You cannot hide ya racism in politics

How come every single nigga gotta be the best
Stay hungry keep grinding show ya elders some respect
Real nigga Workin hard Idon't ever take a rest
A slave mentality is normalizing stress

Gotta flip it on its head start talking bout success
Start healing from the trauma we ain't paused to process
The pain that We suppress
It puts me in distress
Now I think I have digressed
What I'm trying to express is

I matter to the moon to the stars and the rain
I matter even though there's something wrong with my brain
I matter even though you mispronounce my name
I matter even though I'm suicidal from pain

Yeah i said i'm suicidal from pain
Put the gun down there's something wrong with my brain
You see me crying you know I'm kinda insane
But When I look into your eyes I see so much disdain

And my disability is both a gift n a curse
Got me enamored with the music and the path to the hearse
This ain't a competition there's no coming in first
Now gimme reparations go on and reach in ya purse

Look around my nigga cuz the world is ablaze
Guess This really is the end of our days
Fuck getting minimum wage
If unemployment is a raise
To my people all the praise
Know that you matter always
