Eric
Black widow, young kiddo
Tear stained pillow, 'nother black man died
Wade in the water, I don't mean baptized
Dark ass time can't bat no eye
I see 'em, IBMs, I be in windows, they don't look through ours
We got a fire and it's big like Cali's
But they ain't for us, we ain't forests
The only four to be servin' time
Butler boys, that's a bigger crime
We gave ours to the rallies, funerals, black Denalis
Can't let a day go by
He saw, she saw, every die
We saw people cry, think about all of our people's wives
Raise your kids in the world they know ain't safe to live, like Myrlie
Emergency, the mirror me said I could be her too, the day I say I do
Black men bleeding, it's your time
Not so funny valentine
Oh don't you take, don't take, my love away
Oh don't you take, don't take, my love away
Made a widow from a wife
Took the love of my whole life
Oh don't you take, don't take, my love away
Oh don't you take, don't take, my love away
Invisible veil, Coretta wore that, you could see it's real
Martin Luther weren't a big enough deal?
Trayvon Martin ain't a big enough deal, I kid you not
How many Martin's we had shot?
Pourin' Remy Martin on the block
In memory, documented by the rock
Yeah, I hope you watched, let's talk about
What Betty did, she saw X die
We saw X die, how Betty did
Now when I exit, for the baby kid
Cry for the baby momma in the baby crib
That's a broken home, I could be on that
That's reality, that's a big ol' fact
'Cause I'ma marry black, a hard truth
Think about the weirdos, that could be us too
Myrlie, I miss you Miss Myrlie
Still holding yourself to sleep all night
Still drunk off the shit that keeps you up at night
Still feel haunted, still exhausted
I can love you if you needed love Myrlie, can you love me back?
Black men bleeding, it's your time
Not so funny valentine
Oh don't you take, don't take, my love away
Oh don't you take, don't take, my love away
Made a widow from a wife
Took the love of my whole life
Oh don't you take, don't take, my love away
Oh don't you take, don't take, my love away
