Black Lives Matter, Don't They?

Why aren't we trying
When all we r doing is dying
The media is lying
We no longer surviving

United we stand, Divided we fall
They take away our freedom so how can we stand tall
Our backs are against the wall
Have we not before seen it all

This pain is lethal
They killing our people
Fuck the bull we not equal
Shit feels like a sequel

Martin Malcolm and Marcus are gone
Since then shit has gone wrong
They knew how to solidify our bond
Can we bring em back with a magical wand

How many more have to suffer
This is what I wonder
Can't take it any longer
Lord please make our presence stronger

On the news everyday
Another black life taken away
Never to see another light of day
Black Lives Matter,  Don't They?

Caving in

Feeling more depressed everyday
I'd give anything to make things different
But I refuse to sell my soul
Everyday I smoke but it isn't doing anything for me anymore
It's like, why am I wasting my time
I tried all I could to keep it together
But I feel like I'm losing my grip
I no longer find joy in things
My life feels like it is falling apart at the seams
And the worst part of it is not knowing when I'll cave in
