Independence Day

The Fourth of July is a day of lies
Don't let it deceive your mind
This country was birthed on the backs of my kin
Now tell me that ain't really a sin
This world that we're in
Don't want us to win
Standing on our necks
We can't shake these chains
You blame it on us
But what you don't see
Your founding fathers paved a way for you
But they left us astray
So when you pop those fireworks
Just know that you erk my nerves
Independence bullshit
You wonder why we ruthless
So grab your neighbors grab friends
The revolutions bout to begin
Our people losing lives at the hands of the un-justified
Fuck protect and serve
Those is fighting words
They wanna take our lives
While we have our hands up high
Screaming I can't breath
Man I'm trying to find the peace
We Just want some luxuries
Equity
Living peacefully
Black lives matter
Black lives matter
Where's the justice when my people die
Am I supposed to stand by the wayside
and with these families cry
People want us to be complacent
Accept the fact and just face it
But we can't
Cause we are proud
We are resilient
And we are loud
And we will continue to March on
We have nothing to lose but these chains to lose
Black Lives Matter
My life Matters
Your life Matters
