They woke the sleeping giant
And he’s got friends In every shade, In every state Globally people are tired Tired of being treated less than For merely existing That is the only crime To be born into this world Black, strong and beautiful Still human, just a different skin tone No one deserves to die For just being born brown We all just want to live Give this life the best shot we got We want just want a chance To grow and evolve like humans do You’re not better than us I can pull the receipt in every category We keep coming on top Despite of having to work twice as hard Because it has nothing to do with our skin But the content of our character It’s in our very essence To have limitless potential If jealousy and greed didn’t consume You would see it too
