Melina - #Blacklivesmatter Lyrics

Twist the words I'm an antifascist, so a terrorist
While they're the ones who won't put down their rubber bullets
Against people who want people to be loved as a unit
Call it what you want but you're the one who started the riot

Officer yes I ran the red light
But here's my skin you see it's pale white
Guess you'll set me free with a warning sign

But officer with skins all shades of dark
You shove faces on the concrete without a doubt
I don't want your sympathy I want to fight

When he said I can't breathe
Pinned him to the ground to keep
Standing in front of world peace
Your violence, their ignorance
Costed four hundred years
Didn't work to beg and ask
With a pretty pretty please

If you give me privilege, I'll scream and shout 'till
You get this in your head
Black lives matter, and I won't surrender
Till my friends are safe

If you get triggered to pull the trigger from colors
You should be kept
Behind a cage cuz that's insane
Like a predator, you need to be contained

When he said I can't breathe
Pinned him to the ground why do you keep
Standing in front of world peace
Their ignorance, your violence
Costed four hundred years
Didn't work to beg and ask with a
Pretty please

If you give me privilege, I'll scream and shout 'till
You get this in your head
Black lives matter, and I won't surrender
Till my friends are safe

If you get triggered to pull the trigger from colors
You should be kept
Behind a cage cuz that's insane
Like a predator, you need to be contained
