[Intro-Hook]
Dear Mr. President do Black Lives Matter
Or is it just chit chatter 
Trying to make it to the top but someone kicked over the latter

[Verse 1]
Dear Mr. President we're running out of patience
Tuitions hit the ceiling cant afford an education
Prisons are privatized and the board members are racists
Using stop and frisk, to lock us up in cages
Mass incarceration invading the population
If it's a war on Niggas why not squeeze triggers
I'll rather loose my life fighting in a war
Therefore, we aint got to worry about indictments
The Government set us up to fail 
Sent jobs over sees then gave us drugs to sell
Source hearings are killing us cant make bail
Stevie can see the injustices, feel us like braille

[Chorus
 1]
Dear Mr. President do Black Lives Matter
Or is it just chit chatter
Trying to make it to the top 
But someone kicked over the latter

[Verse 2]
The first amendment we're giving is the freedom of speech 
And I'm qualified to speak on behalf of the streets
Screaming justice and peace
Tears running like creeks
Faith have been decreased
Spiritual leaders are weak
Can I breathe on this beat
Mr. President the systems been breached
We're not anti police
But we demand another way to police the police
With a pen I'm a thereat
Ortega Gasset
"Revolt of the Masses" I don't fear death
When trapped in a corner feeling like nothing left
You will learn black lives matter, I aint holding my breath

[Chorus
 2]
Dear Mr. President do Black Lives Matter
Or is it just chit chatter
Trying to make it to the top but someone kicked over the latter

[Verse 3]
Employment is decreasing
Murder rate is increasing
Under capitalism on ten percent is eating
90 percent is starving
Written beyond the margin 
How do we suppose to harvest
When there's blood in the garden
I admit we're not trying our hardest 
If we did we'll be farther but regardless
We wont tolerate being a target, for marksmen cause we're dark-skinned 
Dreaming about trying to win on park bench
Change the laws of expungement 
Can you if you want it
If you cant then who could cause in my hood they want it
Police are killing us Background checks are killing us
But we will survive cause aint' nobody real as us

[Chorus
 3]
- Dear Mr. President do Black Lives Matter
Or is it just chit chatter
Trying to make it to the top but someone kicked over the latter
- Dear Mr. President do Black Lives Matter
Or is it just chit chatter
Trying to make it to the top but someone kicked over the latter
-Dear Mr. President
This may be irrelevant
Cause your inside the white house with all your embellishments 
But I'm fed up and somebody got to tell this shit
It's a War on Niggas "VETERANS"
- Dear Mr. President do Black Lives Matter
Or is it just chit chatter
Trying to make it to the top but someone kicked over the latter
