About Time

Say their names Breonna Taylor Sandra bland George Floyd Freddie gray Korryn Gaines All slain My soul cries for our black lives Still we rise and still we thrive That's that black pride Looking around and i see so many faces in the crowd Try to oppress us but i promise you will never take our crowns So many years they tried break us and they tried hold us down Rose from the ashes like a phoenix we taking back what's ours The revolution is here The revolution The revolution is here The revolution The revolution is here Black lives matter Black lives shattered For years we've been enslaved in different ways by different masters Shackles on our feet Shackles on our minds They took us from our land , cuz they wanted our design Mentally we're scarred and the pain cuts deep They either lock us up in cells or they kill us in the street Communities we lived in for years they move us out Then they build something new and try to charge a big amount Poverty stricken , poverty driven Fighting for survival getting judged by how we living But What did you expect us to do Just starve Had to learn the game now we masters of the cards we were dealt Thought we couldn't make it by ourselves In a system that was made for us to fail Man Look how we prevailed It's our time , we removing all the veils Exposing anything and anyone that really doesn't care About our black minds They didn't hear our black cries But Things are changing , world proclaiming that our black lives matter It's about time Lift every voice and sing Till earth and heaven ring Ring with the harmony of liberty Let our rejoicing rise High as the listening skies Let it resound loud as the rolling sea Looking around and i see so many faces in the crowd Try to oppress us , but i promise you will never take our crowns So many years they tried break us and they tried hold us down Rose from the ashes like a phoenix we taking back what's ours The revolution is here The revolution The revolution is here The revolution The revolution is here
