Police brutality is a huge factor Continue to move forward & never look backwards I pray for loved ones in 2020 that we lost Fighting for equality like me no matter the cost Police tells us nobody is above the law Yet kneeling on your neck, staring you down as if they’re God My weapon is my fist & my 45 I assure you I will protect my family & what is mine Police brutality is a huge factor Killing blacks one-by-one like we don’t matter Rioters riot while protesters are beaten in the news Cops speak in codes, waiting on a signal from their superior just to execute Trying to survive 2020 dog, somehow Praying racism will be gone so our color can bloom now Being black in America is beautiful in my eyes Keep chanting “BLACK LIVES MATTER” no matter what, & everything will be alright
