Текст Chrisette Michele – Black Lives Matter
Текст:
What’s supposed to be understood
Will always begin misunderstood
Until it’s time to be understood
Enlightened where the ego’s removed
Won’t be in the poetry of words
It will be in lessons discerned
If the flesh releases concerns
Every word I say ain’t a war
All that I believe ain’t for grabs
It’s okay to be who you are
If it serves you stay, where you’re at
If you hear the truth from my lips
It’s okay to never admit
I will speak the life I have learned
Hopefully the love is returned
If love is love, is love, is love, is love
Then what is one, is one, is one, is everyone
The problem is, is when it’s us, it’s us, it’s us
If my life matters, then stand no matter
If it was true, would it be black?
Whatever the hue, would you fight back?
Is your blood red, doesn’t it match?
Then when I stand, stand with my black
If love is love, don’t we all match?
Cuz if it’s true, is it just black?
Fill in the space, stand in the gap
And when I stand, stand with my black
Racism is loud and it’s clear
What’s the hurt in hearing my fear?
It just means we’re human the same
If I matter, hold up the sign
Say it with me, identify
This is love, it wants to be heard
Show me that you care for mine
If love is love, is love, is love, is love, is love
Then what is one, is one, is one, is everyone
The problem is, is when it’s us, it’s us, it’s us
If my life matters, then stand no matter
Cuz if it was true, would it be black?
Whatever the hue, would you fight back?
Is your blood red, doesn’t it match?
Then when I stand, stand with my black
If love is love, don’t we all match?
Cuz if it’s true, is it just black?
Fill in the space, stand in the gap
And when I stand, stand with my black
It’s not trouble everyday
(For I learn to meditate)
We must learn to meditate
(Conversations are irate)
And if age’s the tell-tale sign
(I could be the great divide)
You against I or before I?
And what really is supreme?
(Only God reigns over me)
Fight for freedom of «love speech»
(For he freedom of the free)
If the story isn’t right
(Redemption will arise)
You against I or beside I
If your life matters, then stand no matter
If your life matters, then stand no matter
