Ain’t never been black enough
But black enough for y’all
Balancing Malcolm and Martin just wanna see me fall
The in between American dream
But y’all ain’t care enough
Just stereotyping, swear you love shucking and jiving
Fuck your national anthem
Every stanza gon keep us divided
How we gonna see the future through closed and cold eyelids
Said you should try it
There’s no future for the dead and we just busy dying
Acquitted the captain
I’m just rapping or at least I’m trying
Hunting season year round
Blood stained bodies on the ground
There is death in the air
Mothers feel is there
We are scared, we’re angry, broken
Waiting for you to awaken
You ain’t got no love for me
You ain’t got no love for us
You ain’t got no love in your heart
You ain’t got no love
You ain’t got no love
You ain’t got no love in your heart
Y’all ain’t love us, yeah I know
Swear that all lives matter
But we lay here cold
Pro life would spill my blood
And it hurts my soul
So what am I then? You even tryna hear why we all crying?
Cops getting paid to kill us, label us the villians
Selling lucys or doing nothing, really there is no winning
It’s scary how terrorists survive with a bullet grazed and bruised
But like clockwork a black man is dead on the evening news
Hunting season year round
Blood stained bodies on the ground
There is death in the air
Mothers feel is there
We are scared, we’re angry, broken
Waiting for you to awaken
You ain’t got no love for me
You ain’t got no love for us
You ain’t got no love in your heart
You ain’t got no love
You ain’t got no love
You ain’t got no love in your heart
The color of our skin, our biggest sin
Trapped in a world we fear we cannot win
Love thy neighbor - just words without labor
We must come, be our own armor
Philando, Sandra we got love for you
Tamir, Trayvon we got love for you
Freddy, Alton we got love for you
Ferrell, Garner we got love for you
Bell, Michael Brown we got love for you
To all the families this world has failed - we will stand with you
You ain’t got no love for me
You ain’t got no love for us
You ain’t got no love in your heart
You ain’t got no love
You ain’t got no love
You ain’t got no love in your heart
