RONROCBEATS - What Matters Lyrics

Uh, they gon' be mad at me for this one
But they say birth is painful
Happy Birthday
Our lives matter, black lives don't
Our minds will save us, black minds won't
Our lives matter, black lives don't
Our minds will save us, black minds won't
I am not a slave, my soul reigns freedom
Why?
I am not a slave, my soul reigns freedom
Why you doing this?
I am not a slave, my soul reigns freedom
Its all a distraction, avoid the distraction
I ain't set trippin', I ain't set trippin
(You trippin)
I'm just tryna ask a scientific question
Why they call us black
Cause when I match my skin to black, black just don't match
It's not an indicator of skin color, my brother
This is socially based, set up by big brother
So negro please
The LGBT got more rights than me
And they earned it
I ain't hatin
I'm just tryna build the same situation
Through persistent dedication
Black lives don't matter if black lives don't exist
This is our universe, let's take a piece of it
Our lives matter, black lives don't
Our minds will save us, black minds won't
Our lives matter, black lives don't
Our minds will save us, black minds won't
I am not a slave, my soul reigns freedom
Why?
I am not a slave, my soul reigns freedom
Why you doing this?
I am not a slave, my soul reigns freedom
Its all a distraction, avoid the distraction
It's so hard, being a black man
Probably cause black man means lesser than, unimportant
Well let's see, that's the same definition as petty
Petty owned, petty rights
Petty actor, first petty president
Petty artist, petty athlete
Petty lives matter, petty entertainment
Petty people, petty man, petty woman
Petty child, petty fam
God damn
Is that what they mean when they call us black
The petty definition too precise and exact
Is that why my people always they lack
Now the only way to fix it is to start from scratch
Cause I do not agree, I ain't less than you
Do not call me black if that means lesser than you
Our lives matter, black lives don't
Our minds will save us, black minds won't
Our lives matter, black lives don't
Our minds will save us, black minds won't
I am not a slave, my soul reigns freedom
Why?
I am not a slave, my soul reigns freedom
Why you doing this?
I am not a slave, my soul reigns freedom
Its all a distraction, avoid the distraction
Say it loud
I'm alive and I'm proud
I said say it loud
I'm alive and I'm proud
