[Outro: Protester]
Black lives matter!
All lives cannot matter until black lives matter!
All of these people out here are allies, all of these people out here see that there is a serious fucking problem!
If my mom can die tomorrow for walking out of her house, hell yeah, I’ma be out here!
There’s tear gas over there and it fucking hurts but guess what else hurts?
Having a police officer kneel on your fucking neck for seven minutes while the life drains out of you!
That shit hurts so guess what, I will willingly put myself through pain, so that I can avenge that man’s death and every single black person who has died at the hands of police brutality!
That is why we’re here, black lives fucking matter!
