Black
We are here, we are there
We are everywhere
So viral like coca cola
We are real, we are reality
We are black
Black power rules
They said blacks don't look out for black
But we on every page fighting for equal rights and justice for our lost ones
A minute, an hour silence isn't enough
Your speeches on the television changes nothing
We know our protests won't bring back the dead
But we want to let you know that black lives matters
Today, tomorrow and everyday after
Black is a color you can't wipe out
We designed by God
Black power rules
