david b.s. - black lives matters lyrics

{opening sample}
jesse williams
and we’re done watching and waiting while this invention called whiteness uses and abuses us, burying black people out of sight and out of mind while extracting our culture, our dollars, our entertainment like oil – black gold, ghettoizing and demeaning our creations then stealing them, gentrifying our g*nius and then trying us on like costumes before discarding our bodies like rinds of strange fruit. the thing is though… the thing is that just because we’re magic doesn’t mean we’re not real

thank you

{verse 1}
david b.s

we made starships outta slave ships
jesus pieces outta chains n whips
paint the black colour to a vision
mortalised all the pains
made millionaires off sugarcane stripes
tuned our tear drops into songs
admiring where we’re going
not forgetting where we came from
televise our revolution
inst-tutionalise our claims
breathe in life to our movement
but hold on, they claim our parents weren’t civilised
how comes all our past cultures n pyramids
see thru all these white papers ain’t really white
too many of our history omitted right?
but who am i to blame them
our parents sold our brothers into slavery
those who fought and died were never read in history
they claim they lost in weakness; i call it bravery
my skin colour is greatness; that’s why they libel me enemy
i’m still gon focus; refuse to stand as your target
my image is god’s not man-made
a warrior at heart regardless
you pushing to hate me
i’ll never bend to your pressure
my knees are only for god
no man can ever be measured
so!! i choose to die for my belief; i’ll never lie in truth
my world was never meant to grieve;
you stole my happy roots
the world is large enough for us to live in
there’s enough to breath in
guess you just prefer that i don’t step a foot
what are my wrongs i ask?
why throw stones on my gl-ss?
why put our kids in jail when they can do better in cl-ss?
why preach hatred in schools?
why keep away from hood?
why the police shootings
black lives’s nothing to you?
i’m fighting for my freedom
take off the chains don’t need em
all men were made equal; you still debate existence
africa’s rich and able; we don’t need western ratings
we grow within our limits
we don’t need aides we stable
i rather die in my heaven; than live within your h-ll
die young uncivilised; than live long within your jail
i pray to god to lead us; i pray for love within us
i pray we make it out this war; i pray to black jesus
we’re never victims in this life; we’re never born to slave
survival’s buried in our hearts; embedded in our veins
send us a black moses; lead us to the promised land
you believe your life matters; well so also does mine
we’re the result of what you make us; on government papers
worked your plantations, joined your army; yet you love to hate us
we do the same jobs; blacks getting their pay cuts
we tend to get judge by the skin we wear, and our status
we only got one life to live; so let me live mine
you claim that justice is for free; why make me pay a fine
treating dogs better than you treat a human
you always feel superior; we’re a race; i bet to god you’re such a humour
so give justice to the m-sses; put an end to the crises
let us unite in oneness; get a cure to this madness
get the guns off the street; love all, skin colour regardless
i wanna grow old been free a man; and not at your service
wanna stand on my feet; wear the crown; head my fleet
let our joy be a river; (joy like a river) as we anchor the deep
the one who made us designed us equal; with no receipt
allow us live in freedom; so we can rest in peace

{chorus}
lady x

they want us dead
but we gon survive
though they clip our wings
we gon learn to fly
their hatred can’t bend us
can’t break us
we stand till the end
they can’t fade us

we own our dreams
and we own our lives
we born free till the day we die
their chains cannot bind us
can’t cage us
we all soul survivors
can’t slave us
we got freedom……
freedom…oo…oo
we gon keep marching till the end of the road
cos we got freedom……..
freedom….oo..oo
we gon keep marching till the end of the road
