Do black lives really matter? when you rejected our love in favor of sex as if we were some random chicks Do black lives really matter? when money meant more to you as if we could raise our children with just a check Do black lives really matter? when you pass around STDs as if keeping one partner safe isn't enough Is running away how you address all your problems? Running away from the police Running away from your responsibilities Running away from your past Stop running and face your problems like a man Then maybe i'll lay on the ground and sing "We shall overcome" too forget if black lives matter to them they got to first matter to you

Climbing becomes a daunting task Then it seems too much to ask The weight heavy and load borrowed Bestows upon me slow painful tomorrows When it comes time to lighten the load I felt guilty strange powerful bold Weight gone found me in better health And I used that energy to better myself The time I have I don't want to waste For destiny has shown me a better place

A part of me was inspired The other part was scared Sometimes I was too ashamed and tempted but never dared Insecurities ruled the night kept me tamed throughout the day But now the struggle is over I have too much in me to say What was once suppressed cannot be contained What is now the past memories distantly remained Moving forward is now my charge to keep The future awaits its my turn to speak

Becoming bored with playing games distraction to come from mistaken claims Taking time to develop me like unfinished art and unplanted seed Restored faith and confidence grew back on track with plans renewed Watching faithful as God manages doors and opportunities awaiting his promises Growing into what people see their dreams becoming apart of me
