Song lyrics
[edit]- It's unfortunate that we even have to say 'Black Lives Matter', I mean, if you go through history nobody ever gave a fuck. I mean, you can kill black people in the street, nobody goes to jail, nobody goes to prison. But when I say 'Black Lives Matter' and you say 'All Lives Matter', that's like if I was to say 'Gay Lives Matter' and you say 'All Lives Matter'. If I said, 'Women's Lives Matter' and you say 'All Lives Matter', you're diluting what I'm saying. You're diluting the issue. The issue isn't about everybody. It's about black lives, at the moment But the truth of the matter is, they don't really give a fuck about anybody, if you break this shit all the way down to the low fucking dirty-ass truth.
- We say that 'Black Lives Matter’
Well truthfully they really never have.
No one ever really gave a fuck.
Just read your bullshit history books.
But honestly it ain't just black.
It's yellow, it's brown, it's red.
It's anyone who ain't got cash.
Poor whites that they call trash.- No Lives Matter
