Taking no sides in this race war.
We need to ask ourselves what are
We fighting for?
Can't you see it divides us more?
Don't you know this is the devil's lure?

My family is black.
My family is white.
My family is blue.

We all can not suffer for the racism that is very much alive.
Many many innocent people have died.
But please do not let this cause us to divide.

You can't fight fire with fire.
You can't give fire air.

Fire dies when it's smothered.
Fire dies when it's too wet.
This we shall not forget.

Let's smother this fire with love and unite.
Together we all must fight.
With all of our might.

Let's drown the fire with love, peace and positivity.
Because frankly what it can cause frightens me.

Together we must come.
Together is the only way to overcome.
