- [Man] Black lives matter.
All lives matter.
You matter. I matter.
But black lives matter.
See, when I say black lives matter
it is not to disintegrate any
other race because skin tone is just a shade.
Different colors but all the color.
Living different lives but we all
have lives and we all matter
but black lives matter.
You see black and brown people for
some reason have been treated differently.
We can take it back to the 16th century
when we were being shipped over seas see.
There was this man who spoke to me in my dream.
He told me to follow the dream.
Go create a scheme that'll prevent another
dead teen and that's why black lives matter I mean.
Would it matter to you if people you easily
compared to keep dying around you
and you similar thinking you can die too?
Tell me you won't try to take a stand.
I'm not racist.
I'll shake a hand and make a friend.
I understand that we both woman
and man but black lives matter again.
Why? They just shot another brother again.
It put me in complete attack mode.
Ready to attack those ones who pretend
we don't matter when our lives do matter but see,
I'd rather live together in peace
then fall apart from hate.
Though it is a shame there are many
that would hate every word in this poem.
I wonder why it took this long
to realize black lives matter.
I wonder why some of my own brothers
don't recognize our lives matter.
All over the mentality I have to eat
if even if I have to squeeze.
You see I had a scheme that the man
in my dream told me to create
'til I looked up and another life was
being tooken away and another booked away.
And that's why black lives matter.
I look at today and see blinded youth,
more lies than truth, all lives
are truly worthy to be appreciated.
I don't feel appreciated so I gotta make
a change well I say again with a race fixin
to picket sign easily recognize with
42 million behind me y'all agree
to the effect that our lives are black and we matter.
- [Man] You matter. I matter. All lives matter.
But black lives matter.
You see, majority to minority that go
to prison or end up being sent to the heaven's gates.
I'm just trying to set the record straight
that black lives matter.
And it seems majority of the majority
would just ignore our speeches
but even though it says we march
for no reason you can still find me outside
even in winter season and that
the top of my lungs screaming black lives matter.
Over and over and over.
- [Man] Until we find closure
or at least come closer to equal treatment.
No need for policemen to strap up like
we come to start a war.
Why, because all that does is start a war.
And I see a war has begun.
But war is not the way we'll
be able to escape this madness.
I'm just asking if you can understand
this definition of black lives matter
and our true mission of black lives matter
is to eliminate the resentment
and black lives that matter.
Go spread the message that black lives matter.
- [Man] You see, I thought I had a scheme
that the man in my dream told me to create
'til he appeared in another dream one day
and reminded me that they're eyeing
me so try to be careful.
Because they don't care for you.
Apparently lives don't matter.
Not until that life is shattered.
But before that life is shattered we need
to realize that we do matter.
You matter.
- [Man] I matter.
All lives matter.
But what is more urgent
is that black lives matter.
- But I want you to know the night
that we as a people will get to the promise land.
