Bonez - IF Black Lives Mattered

Ever think your struggles
Might have happened cause of skin tone

My facebook numbers
Abought to drop

Get the fuck on

See me in the streets
You don't like me

Get the fuck on

If black lives
Mattered then i
Shouldn't have to say it
But
You only pay attention
When i'm on the block spraying

Or your shits on fire
I'm just saying
Gotta do things

You only liked us
When we dumbed down
And in chains

If black lives matter
Ima say it till the death of me

Black lives matter
Ima say it till the death of me

Black Lives matter then
Then I shouldn't have to
Say it
But you only
Pay attention when I'm
On the block spraying
Or your shits on fire
I'm just saying gotta
Do thangs
You only liked us when we
Dumbed down and
In chains

New generation damn right
Gonna change thangs

And we'll be damned
If george floyd
Gonna
Die in vain

Breonna Taylor
Got another thing
Coming

Marching on the stone mountain
Red dots roaming

Malcolm X on the innie
King keeps us steady

Chanting through
The hood like every bodies ready

Puffin on that covid
You must caught the kanye

Fucking up the history
Ima see it my way

Black Lives matter then
Then I shouldn't have to
Say it
But you only
Pay attention when I'm
On the block spraying
Or your shits on fire
I'm just saying gotta
Do thangs
You only liked us when we
Dumbed down and
In chains

Black Lives matter then
Then I shouldn't have to
Say it
But you only
Pay attention when I'm
On the block spraying
Or your shits on fire
I'm just saying gotta
Do thangs
You only liked us when we
Dumbed down and
In chains

Nick Cannon don't you
Re-nig shit

You said what you said
And we felt that shit

If they don't like it
They can take this brick

We had enough of the bullshit
It is what it is

We been the ones
On the battlegrounds

The ones in the fields

Go ahead check the stats
We the ones gettin killed

We standing up for ourselves
And you want us to chill

I switched it up
To

Give' em something of peripheral
I'm pissed off and you're glad
Let's keep it real
I keep it locked up
And
Cocked if you catching
Feels

Now I cant say that my own life matters
Without catching bullets
And my skull getting shattered

Please!

Color of my skin
Doesn't dictate my character

Cross me up wrong
And this marks
Where they
Bury ya

Bonez never keeps his
Mouth shut

So i'm saying it

Started out weak
Now i'm strong

So i carry it

Tucked in my index
Credentials make it legal

Don't do it
For the fame
But i do it for
My people

If black Lives matter then
Then I shouldn't have to
Say it
But you only
Pay attention when I'm
On the block spraying
Or your shits on fire
I'm just saying gotta
Do thangs
You only liked us when we
Dumbed down and
In chains

If black Lives matter then
Then I shouldn't have to
Say it
But you only
Pay attention when I'm
On the block spraying
Or your shits on fire
I'm just saying gotta
Do thangs
You only liked us when we
Dumbed down and
In chains

You only liked us
When we dumbed down
And in chains
