Ehubb - Silhouette (Black Dreams)

Watch my people die, no peace of mind
I need respect
Claim they on my side, I think they lied
They not upset
Kill us in the open as they hide in silhouette

Bail goes out to police who supposedly
Protecting, no protection
Tell 'em that I'm sick and tired
With no infection
Tryna treat me like the virus
Stop the spreading
But if I were really COVID don't think they'd detect it
So ironic cause I'm black the melanin inside my skin makes people tense
Evident no self-defense, neglect the truth and plot again
Shooting shots at all my folks, they steal my hopes and choke my friends
Pop up on the block, pursue, and turn black dreams into a myth
Whoa
Ohh If you didn't know then now you know
It's gone take some time to heal the soul
Imagine being 21 years old
Leave the house and don't know if you comin' home

Watch my people die no peace of mind I need respect
Claim they on my side, I think they lied
They not upset
Kill us in the open as they hide in silhouette
Kill us in the open as they hide in silhouette

Watch my people die no peace of mind I need respect
Claim they on my side, I think they lied
They not upset
Kill us in the open as they hide in silhouette
Kill us in the open as they hide in silhouette

Black Queens
Black Kings
Black Dreams
I'm that
Black Queens
Black Kings
Black Dreams
No cap
Black Queens
Black Kings
Black Dreams
Black Teens
Black Kids
Black Streams
Black Needs Uh
Yeah that means I've seen way too many people die on my phone
Gotta turn protest to policy, otherwise they gone probably string us along
Saddest to see at the highest degree, as the people retweet they can rush in yo home
No, it's not all the police, but we can't be naive it's too many who doing it wrong

Watch my people die no peace of mind I need respect
Claim they on my side I think they lied
They not upset
Kill us in the open as they hide in silhouette
Kill us in the open as they hide in silhouette

Watch my people die no peace of mind I need respect
Claim they on my side I think they lied
They not upset
Kill us in the open as they hide in silhouette
Kill us in the open as they hide in silhouette
