Black Lives Matter

Priceless and precious (precious)
Important and essential (essential)
Irreplaceable and extraordinary

Black lives matter! (Yeah!)
Oh, ooh, oh, ooh oh ooh oh ooh oh
Oh, ooh, oh, ooh oh ooh oh ooh oh
Singing loud! Black lives matter! Black lives matter!
Sing it proud! Black lives matter!
'Cause all lives matter (all lives matter)
Hands up, don't shoot! I can't breathe (I can't breathe)
No justice, no peace
Hand in hand together we stand (together we stand!)
Black lives matter!

We have always mattered
Throughout history
Glorious African kingdoms
Before slavery
Three-hundred years like beast of burden
Nation built on our backs
Many believed we were animals
Because our skin is black
Even the constitution
Said we're only three-fifths human
And that mentality
Is still a reality
Police brutality
Harassment and discrimination
Poverty, injustice
Pain and humiliation
We need [?]

Black lives matter! Black lives matter! (Everywhere!)
Black lives matter! 'Cause all lives matter (Hands up!)
Hands up, don't shoot, I can't breathe (I can't breathe!)
No justice, no peace (no peace!)
Hand in hand, together we stand (together we stand!)
Black lives matter!

We matter 'cause we're equals
In the human family (we matter!)
We gave this nation and the world
Soul and humanity
We matter 'cause our contributions
Help and inspire (we matter!)
All people everywhere to reach higher and higher

We matter 'cause we are God's children
Beautiful and beheld
We are far more precious
Than diamond, silver, or gold
[?] Second to none
Our values and our worth
Justice as great as anyone
Anywhere on Earth
We proclaim:

Black lives matter! Black lives matter! (We're not ashamed)
Black lives matter! 'Cause all lives matter
(Hands up!) Hands up, don't shoot, I can't breathe (I can't breathe)
No justice, no peace
Hand in hand together we stand (we stand)
Black lives matter!

[Verse 4
America's got a lot of problems
But together we can solve them
Both [?], Chicago, LA
New York, Ferguson
We need everyone
We're all yellow, black, and white
We're precious in His sight
Proudly Protestant and Jew,
Muslim, Buddhist, and Hindu!

Priceless and precious (precious)
Important and essential (essential)
Irreplaceable and extraordinary

Singing loud!
Black lives matter! Black lives matter!
Singing proud!
Black lives matter! 'Cause all lives matter (all lives matter)
Hands up, don't shoot, I can't breathe (I can't breathe!)
No justice, no peace
Hand in hand, together we stand (together we stand!)
Black lives matter!
Hands up, don't shoot, I can't breathe (No justice, no peace!
No justice, no peace
Hand in hand, together we stand (stand together!)
Black lives matter!
