Nique Robinson - Change

Wow
Seems as though nothing changes
But still I’m hopeful
So much hate inside the world
In the land of the free
I’m seeing things I would never believe
Still I’m hoping for change
We hurting but still standing tall
Wheres the justice? we ain’t equal at all
But still I’m hoping for change
I know that you want me to lose
But still I’m hoping for change
We gotta make a move right now
Won’t live my life in fear
You know I wear this black skin proud
Look deep inside yourself I think you’ll feel my presence
I’m not political but lyrical that's my confession
400 years but yet and still they just don’t get the message
I’m laying out my thoughts so please listen at your discretion
Understand y’all will never silence us
We gone keep our fist up
All these major corporations we will hit yo shit up
How I’m supposed to give a fuck about my people looting?
When we got cops that get away with killing blacks by shooting
So what’s the price for that black man life?
I swear it brought me straight to tears watching Big George die
Face to the concrete yelling “I can’t breathe”
And we the ones that’s frowned upon for simply taking a knee
I see one man can change the world and one man can take ya life
One nation under God but why’s it hard to make it right?
So hello Miss America, hello Mr. President
Put ya fucking phone down and look at what we up against?
Okay Karen probably asking “What we mad for?”
White folk probably hate it ‘cause COVID got us all masked up
Tell me where the justice?
Justice for Ahmaud
Justice for Elijah
Justice for Rayshard
And oh yea
Arrest them fucking cops that killed Breonna won’t forget that
Lord forbid my son read my name next to a hashtag
‘Cause he’ll probably grow up thinking his route is the same
Unapologetically I’m still seeking change
So much hate inside the world
In the land of the free
I’m seeing things I would never believe
Still I’m hoping for change
We hurting but still standing tall
Wheres the justice? we ain’t equal at all
But still I’m hoping for change
I know that you want me to lose
But still I’m hoping for change
We gotta make a move right now
Won’t live my life in fear
You know I wear this black skin proud
