STAND

“Black History Month”

Think back, way back.

Back when they beat us til they seen white meat.

Or when Harriet ran for freedom and they would chop off others feet.

The day Rosa Parks sat down in that seat made a difference,

For you, me and all black people to take a stand.

Martin had a dream that we would be equal.

The wind blew and we still ain’t free.

Fighting in the cold, world as a black person everyday.

Misjudged and Convicted by the boys in blue.

While they get off for killing us cold blooded in the streets.

As we have branded in Red, Black,Green, and Blue.

It took only one a couple men for them to band together Nipsey, Snoop, YG, Cube.

They still threaten us and calling us niggas but who is really ignorant?

Now that would be you...

As I lay in my bed and watch on the news how Taylor lay in her apartment but officer be carried off.

That my friend is is cruel, hatred, her bf told it was was a mistake wow now that was a sistah standing her ground.

Oh Breonna Baby Justice will be Serve. Ahmaud you are loved, Trayvon has his on his own Ave.

Now all I’m trying to do is free My brother L see he innocent but, the white lawyers don’t speak for us like that speak for you.

Or my brothers D and Gee see they’ve served their time and everyone deserves another chance sometimes damn white man.

Let them Free.

Lil Baby came out with “The Bigger Picture”

I’m coming through with Powerful Poetry.

Stand up, Stand up for what’s right!

Stand up for what you know!

Stand up and make a CHANGE!

STAND UP FOR THE NEXT GENERATION!
