Given the recent shameful outcome over Breonna Taylor's murder, I felt it was appropriate to share this. #BLM
Show Black Matters not by Irving Berlin
Black lives matter like (all) lives matter but black lives are
threatened
Everyone needs to understand about this, the point is simply to stop wrongs and
Anyone who knows they’re not a racist just cannot resist to take a stand
Black (or) white people are all people, they feel and they bleed red
Even if you can’t see similarities, that doesn’t mean that their life
should cease
Nobody is perfect, you can guarantee, and
they shouldn’t be dead
Breonna, and Tony, and Ahmaud and George
Are no longer part of this world because
Breonna, and Tony, and Ahmaud and George
Were thought by corrupt cops to (have) broken laws.
We sadly bid these poor people goodbye, they shouldn’t have been killed should
they - so why?
Black lives matter like (all) lives matter so don’t tell me that’s wrong
Everyone upon this earth’s a person, regardless of the colour of their skin
We cannot allow racism to worsen, it’s a perversion, don’t let it win
Black (or) white people are all people, they feel and they bleed red
Why’s this still an issue it just seems so wrong, it’s been going on for far
too long
There shouldn’t be a reason to write this song and they shouldn’t be dead
You hear again in all the newspapers that a black person’s been killed again
How is it, the victims are the traitors? Ignore
the haters, this all must end
Even though the bias seems to reach up high, that doesn’t mean this
thinking should fly
We will never let this injustice go by, as they shouldn’t be dead
