jords - black & ready lyrics

[intro]
black lives matter
black lives matter
black lives matter
black lives matter
black lives matter
black lives matter
yeah
black lives matter
black lives matter

[verse]
i know that black is beautiful, but can they see it?
i know that black is powerful, but can they feel it?
done talkin’, now we’re past reason
there’s only more glass behind all these glass ceilings, uh
do you know how hard it is for us to trust
when you get strip+searched just for runnin’ for the bus?
and you’re only thirteen, you don’t tell n0body else
no, you just blame yourself
then you see ’em tearin’ down your history in the media
that you don’t learn in school, you gotta learn on wikipedia
they tell you you’re a menace ’til you think that you ain’t good enough
all because you got your hoodie up, man
there’ll be some trouble you get in just for the colour of your skin
but don’t forget to look after your brothers ’cause they’re kings
don’t forget to look after your sisters ’cause they’re queens
do not let them k!ll our dreams, man
if you’re k!llin’ us with violence, why should we be k!llin’ you with kindness?
i’ve done some bad things but i don’t glorify ’em
you might have bought my ancestors but you ain’t bought my silence
i’m malcolm for the outcome, i can’t let n0body doubt it
that’s why we can’t just say we’re black and proud, we gotta shout it
they don’t wanna let us through to the top
i’d go back to where i came from if i knew where that was
they’re k!llin’ people in the states
there’s people gettin’ k!lled on our estate
feds say that they gotta put in our place
but look at grenfell, they can’t even put ’em in a place, man
f+ck a petition when you’re a man on a mission
this ain’t 12 years a slave, it’s twenty+six years a victim
i’ll give you respect when you give us the time of day
just an angry black man tryna find a way
[chorus]
everywhere i go
i’m looking for myself
and every day i pray
you keep all my family well, mmm
and everywhere i go
i’m looking for myself
and every day i pray
you keep all my family well

[outro]
black lives matter
black lives matter
black lives matter
black lives matter
black lives matter
black lives matter
black lives matter
black lives matter
