Now this song contains my very favourite thing. A sing-a-long chorus!
Give it a go, I’ll teach you the words along the way

When I say Black lives you say all lives ‘Black lives’ (?) ‘Black lives’ (?)
When I say Black lives you say all lives ‘Black lives’ (?)
What?


Before we spoke out you said nothing
Where were your chants for your people back then?
Where were your protests, petitions, decisions to keep every life on this planet safe?

Did you do anything? Did you say anything?

To support all these lives you so care about?

Your placard and banner are stored by the door but you won’t step out and start to shout
till I do. Just to prove you’re louder Because without ‘Black’

Your ALL is just a shadow, your ALL is just a echo, your ALL is just my BLACK reflected
Your All is just a ripple, your ALL is artificial, without BLACK your ALL is neglected

When I say Black lives you say all lives ‘Black lives’ (?) ‘Black lives’ (?)
When I say Black lives you say all lives ‘Black lives’ (?)

You’re no more than a toddler aged four wants my truck when I pick it up,
you only want to play because I’M holding the toy.
You infant, you baby, you ‘real life’ food envy
‘Waaaa’ ‘I want IT.

We need a name and a place to vent about our strife,
you don't know that feeling, your safe space is LIFE

Are you wondering why equality has always eluded us
It’s because your ‘all’ has never included us.

When I say Black lives you say all lives ‘Black lives’ (?) ‘Black lives’ (?)
When I say Black lives you say all lives
Oh stop it!


When you're googling for Men's Day and you're searching for Straight Pride You’ve only found your voice to silence mine.

It doesn’t diminish another group just to focus in on those in harm. When my leg is broken please don’t examine my arm.

Same does not mean equal, while racism is legal, this system is evil,my skin cannot be lethal

If you don’t trust a movement without you in the centre,
realise
you’ve always been the oppressor.

And while we’re dying?
Show you care about ALL LIVES

When I say Black lives you say Black lives, Back lives , Black lives
Black lives, Black Lives, Black Lives
Black
Lives
Matter
