Letra de 'Bally On My Heart' de Wilzzr

Bally on my heart so you will never see my feelings
Knees on my neck the government don’t want me breathing
You can shoot me down but you will never kill my spirit
I still got my ancestors with me
But tell me why

Do I have to die so you can see that my life matters
So many years and still there’s no change that will bless us
My people still sleeping, we won’t rise that’s so messed up
We’re just like you

How can I speak peace with a piece on me
This violent mentality is still a threat to me
I mean I'm all about my peace but if man takes the piss
I take a piece of him, my ego needs a piece of this

Our roots go deeper than a coffin but it’s hard to reach, they want us 6 feet deep
Wish my sisters knew they’re all queens and had more self esteem
Wish I could take the 9 “mills” out my brothers’ hands
And put mills in their pockets, give them plans in the motherland, but

Free all my brothers I still miss them
Never did anything wrong just went around the system
Some of them lost in that yayo wish they never would have sniffed it
Some of us lost in “hat hatred, only death can find a nigga

3 eyes open, hope they don’t catch me slipping, gotta stay woke
Hoping they don’t pop me like they did with Pop Smoke
Fast life got us thinking slow
Blood on our hands to match the red soles
We live rich but we’re still broke

Bally on my heart so you will never see my feelings
Knees on my neck the government don’t want me breathing
You can shoot me down but you will never kill my spirit
I still got my ancestors with me
But tell me why

Do I have to die so you can see that my life matters
So many years and still there’s no change that will bless us
My people still sleeping, we won’t rise that’s so messed up
We’re just like you

Bally on my heart so you will never see my feelings
Knees on my neck the government don’t want me breathing
You can shoot me down but you will never kill my spirit
I still got my ancestors with me
But tell me why

Do I have to die so you can see that my life matters
So many years and still there’s no change that will bless us
My people still sleeping, we won’t rise that’s so messed up
We’re just like you

So don’t you tell me to be cool when my people still traumatized
Oversees, we’re underseen by blue and white can even ask the colour blind
And maybe it’s time I tell my daughter I may die by homicide
‘Cause being black feels like a crime and our lives are compromised

Seen brothers die at 14 by the hands of the police
So how do you think it makes me feel seeing the cicle repeat
Seen fathers absent to their kids, they didn’t leave they just got killed
‘Cause in a white world, black doesn’t have the right to live

Wish that black boys knew, that it’s cool to be you
You ain’t gotta be bad, you just gotta be true
You ain’t gotta be a number like you got something to prove
You just gotta find your roots, you just gotta find your truth

So now I'm speaking to my people
For times that we declined in numbers and increased their statistics
For every time we knelled and I asked our oppressors for justice
Let's rise and the face the truth, we just gonna be united the power to change is in you

Bally on my heart so you will never see my feelings
Knees on my neck the government don’t want me breathing
You can shoot me down but you will never kill my spirit
I still got my ancestors with me
But tell me why

Do I have to die so you can see that my life matters
So many years and still there’s no change that will bless us
My people still sleeping, we won’t rise that’s so messed up
We’re just like you
