“Wake Up”

Ronesha

Wake up every day with somebody dying
All through the day all you hear is crying
Blacks killing blacks
While others are chanting “Black Lives Matter”
First, Travon Martin
Then, Michael Brown
Turn around, there’s another body found
Everybody is saying R.I.P.
But all I can say is what if it was me
