Fleur East's Black Lives Matter Rap Roulette Is Incredibly Powerful | Hits Radio
Hits Radio Breakfast's Fleur East's Rap Roulette was about Black Lives Matter. Her lyrics are incredibly powerful, read the lyrics below.
Black lives matter that’s the message that’s the fight, the fight against racism and not against white / It’s a movement with a message that is centuries old, so if you stand against injustice then speak up and be bold
We’ve seen everybody come together, stay at home and work together fighting against a virus that we can’t even see / Now we face another virus one called racism, and silence isn't gonna save lives or protect you and me.
8 minutes 46 seconds can you believe?! / George Floyd was held down saying he couldn’t breathe
It’s time to stand up. Time to put your hands up. Time to understand love’s the answer and enough is enough / People fear for their lives through the shade they were painted / Can you see the picture has been tainted?
The hashtag does not accuse you or exclude you, saying all lives matter is only seeing what you choose to, if you don’t have a clue it’s like crashing a stranger's funeral and screaming ‘yeah I lost someone too!’
The inequality, complexity, the pain and the perplexity / The gunning and running and shunning and numbing the pain, the sheer immensity
We’re meant to be in this together so speak up for your brothers for your sisters, sons and daughters for the slaughtered
Born to a black mother and my father was white / My future children will be black and we’ll continue the fight
Do something, say something yeah, we all have a voice / And in the colour of our skin, none of us had a choice / You can continue to divide, but the truth will remain / Underneath our skin we all bleed the same’
