What a beautiful time to be black right now What a beautiful time to be black They killed my brother in the street Took away his breath with a knee Yet shames us for taking a knee During false pledges of liberty Because they slaughter us with bullets and brutality Then ignore us when we weep Our tears rinse out blood from the concrete Judicial paperwork wash dirt from the police Tired, we riot in the streets Fed up, set fire to buildings Turned up, you can’t silence our screams Big crowds, we everywhere you see On social media livestream And local news on your TV Me and my cousins protesting Red, brown, yellow, even white rallying UK, Paris, New Zealand, Germany Interfering with your daily routine Blocking all roads, can’t drive past we ‘Cause we here right now No more silence Can’t turn our volume down No fear in us We’re sick of crying out You gon’ feel us Or we gon’ show you how It feel to be us When we Slaughter all your demons in these streets Cancelling your breath on our knees Shaming you for testing our glory Riddle you with bullets that we speak Over your slain, nobody weep Cleans our streets with blood of Holy King So our children finally will grow in peace What a beautiful time to be black and alive right now What a beautiful time to be Swanketa Brown (Swanketa L.B)
