A BLACK MATTER

Don't give up
No need to cry
We all know it's time
Time to stand up and fight

Brotha's getttin shot
Sista's gettin life
while the man, while the man, while the man
gets off on lies

The children are hungry
and they don't know how to read
Momma's always working,
she never sleeps.
The dope boys been running
from the police
THEY'RE keeping us poor
LONG LIVE THE AMERICAN DREAM

We need help
no need to cry
We all know it's time to fight

Brotha's gettin shot
Sista's gettin life
while the man, while the man, while the man
gets off on lies.

By any means necessary
By any means necessary
By any means necessary
Take my hand,
Not my life.
