Lyrics Lives Matter - Moccasin Creek

Lives Matter

I have friends black and brown, white and tan and yellow
I hate all this bickering back and forth about certain types of fellas
Yeah we’re all the same, American, so stop that hateful chatter
Cause if it’s one for all and all for one wouldn’t white trash lives matter?
(Come on)
Now hear me out before you throw a stone and cast your blame
Cause I just call it how I see it and it’s getting insane
Till we quit making problems they will always exist
And all this black, white, and brown hate needs to dismiss
We all bleed the same, breathe the same, sleep the same too
We feel the same pain, we walk the same shoes
Drive the same roads, we watch the same shows
But if you matter more than me, then the problems will grow
See we get it misconstrued pointing fingers too fast
Here, from me to you, I’m just some old white trash
But I matter too, come on, so do you so
How’s it stop, I’ll give you a clue
We stop talking 'bout it, and then we make some change
We stop reacting like we have, then I’ll make this plain
Stop the fussing and the cussing and the hating and the chatter
Cause the real truth here is, all lives matter
(Uh huh)
I have friends black and brown, white and tan and yellow
I hate all this bickering back and forth about certain types of fellas
Yeah we’re all the same, American, so stop that hateful chatter
Cause if it’s one for all and all for one wouldn’t white trash lives matter?
(Come on)
I reckon I’mma be the one to stand and tell you the truth
We’re like a pack of playing cards but we ain’t following suit
We just blame and name, but life ain’t no game
So listen what I’m saying here, soak it in your brain
I’m sick and tired of the media, the lies that they’re feeding ya
It ain’t up to me Jack, your parents should be leading ya
White, black, red, brown, yellow, I don’t give a damn
Just like that fella there, we all pay the man
Accept the truth, back to the roots (Come on)
It’s up to me and you to lead our youth
See kids are raising kids like it’s part of a mission
More kids, more money, just bucking the system
Protesting with your baby, man what’s that prove (Come on man)
Until we change individually we continue to lose (Uh huh)
From the hood to the woods seeing all these lives shattered (Come On)
Come on y’all, all lives matter
I have friends black and brown, white and tan and yellow
I hate all this bickering back and forth about certain types of fellas
Yeah we’re all the same, American, so stop that hateful chatter
Cause if it’s one for all and all for one wouldn’t white trash lives matter?
(Come on)
Man, I swear it’s really getting old man
White, black, red, brown, yellow, I don’t give a damn
See, we’re all here as one whether you like it or not
We all bleed red, we all breathe the same air, we’re all human
Hell, we’re all equal, it’s time to stop with all the nonsense man
I ain’t no better than you, and you’re no better than me but
But until we stop all the separation, with this continued segregation
All these trials and tribulations we’re constantly facing
We will continue to fail as a nation
All lives matter Jack
I have friends black and brown, white and tan and yellow
I hate all this bickering back and forth about certain types of fellas
Yeah we’re all the same, American, so stop that hateful chatter
Cause if it’s one for all and all for one wouldn’t white trash lives matter?
