We Matter

Red: Anger, distrust, fire all I see is red We matter yes the ones with brown skin The ones who comply And we just die and There's no justice The ones who reach for wallets and there's no justice Pulled over for cigarettes and still get no justice The ones who walk home to our own apartments and still no justice I remember that day, that day so vividly Never cried so hard, I couldn't even breathe, that name going across my screen, That was the day I realized Alton could've easily been me No Justice, No Peace Until you decide to STOP KILLING ME Silence complicit, Silence submissive
