Nathan Jarrelle - Black Lives Matter?

Do black lives really matter or is it something that we say to keep up with the chatter?
Do black lives really matter or is it something that we say to make our pockets fatter
We screaming black lives matter in the streets now
They burning Bibles, tell me is that what that means now

I put the Bible over color
Yeah I mean that
A black Christian repping Jesus
They ain't seen that
I rep a Jewish man who died upon a cross
It doesn't matter if He's black or white
That's not the point
We find solutions when we figure what He died for
We were slaves all in chains in our sins boy
Made up in His image
Yeah He love us
Broken generation
We don't know what love does
Rebuke us when we're wrong
Commend us when we're right
Jesus died to give us everlasting life
He lived well and loved hard to give us hope in the midst of strife
So what we fighting for
Shedding blood over race wars
Repeat the cycle like we've done before

We just doing what we've done before
Do black lives really matter or is it something that we say to keep up with the chatter?
Do black lives really matter or is it something that we say to make our pockets fatter?

I'm sick of all the conversation
No happy belated,
We been doing the same things
Wearing the same chains since slavery
The same rappers screaming out black lives matter
Be the same rappers killing black lives faster
Fast money, fast cars, and some pretty women
Keep our youth fixated on money and sinning
We went from Lauryn Hill to Cardi B
Don't get me started
Bunch of likes on Instagram but we cold hearted
I don't care if I'm your favorite rapper
Jesus love me and my family does too
And that's all that matters
Seconds refreshed, now he got me really snapping
Christianity's definition ain't Chance the rapper
I love the Gospel and the Church
Jesus isn't merch
Tell me how you live for hell with scripture on your shirt
How can I ever come last if I put Jesus first
I give Him praise until He put me back inside the dirt

Do black lives really matter or is it something that we say to keep up with the chatter?
Do black lives really matter or is it something that we say to make our pockets fatter?
