Lyrics:
“Some silences are heavy
Sagging under the weight of words left unsaid.” ~ JM Green
We won’t be quiet
We will not silence our “No justice, No peace”
Blacks, Latino, Asian, White
All of us together
We stopped trapping Black behind clenched teeth
Stopped acting like “it” disappeared and embraced an ugly truth
Unlocked tongues that’ve stated
Hidden between lying pages
Muffled fear written in books never to be read
Trapped in thickened throats afraid of retaliation
Shouts in our soul worthy of protest
Healing comes from a mouth opened wide
Full of fiery truth and conviction
Standing against confederate flags
Eye to eye with KKK and Neo Nazis
Hairs on the back of your neck alert
And you begin to question what year this is
As peace comes crashing into a light just beginning
A voice not heard until silenced
Her name was Heather Heyer
And that’s how black Black can be
How loud Black can get
Black be so bold it get told to sit down
Like our defense isn’t warranted
Like him making America great again didn’t peel back the hate
A civil war pressing its foot against our progress
Flatlining our hope
Our black is always too Black
Too Afro puff and box braids
Too presidential
Not Black enough to stand against a racist anthem
But too Black to reclaim our time
Got us thinking we too Black to love ourselves
Treating one another like we ain’t more or worth more than two crayons in a box
And you know…
I figured since bullets like flying
I’ll send blood back to fill
Pierce blue skies crippled from prayers unanswered
Not relating to who they’re praying to
Wanting to belong
Wanting to be feared just not be fucked with
Meanwhile, children sleep on floors flat on stomachs dodging death while sprinting through life
This is for everyone waging war against themselves
Standing for nothing and falling for everything
What color will the world be when the streets stop bleeding red and blue?
When you hold you accountable for you
What dreams can we truly build when we stop being silenced?
What dreams can be truly build when we stop
BULLSHIT
No more silence
Something’s got to change
No more silence
Let’s stop the pain
No more silence
Something’s got to change
No more silence
Let’s stop the pain
NO MORE SILENCE!! ✌️ ❤️ 🎷
This video, this message is in
the name of all generations to come !
So powerful. Thank you Ghost-Note 🙏🏿
I breaks my heart to see this all. That equality is so far away. Equality and yet the 'inequality' that makes us all special, unique and interesting!
Thank you Ghost!✨💜🙌 always

I'm kinda disappointed at myself for not finding this gem back then during BLM...
