This ain’t no civil rights
This ain’t no civil rights
This wasn’t bout civl rights
This ain’t no civil rights
It was never bout civil rights
This ain’t bout civil rights
It was never bout civil rights
You lied

This ain’t no civil rights, it is just some uncivil fights, a lot of weak statements then dropping mics, echo chambers you speak in they frequent likes. Ewewewewe bunch of squeaking mice, taking signs from my Nana who’s seen those fights. You ain’t hip you don’t see what they do to us, your rights are like I’m a man with a uterus. Right, but this ain’t bout civil rights, you hijacked it like that one United flight. You reopened wounds that were not healing right, and threw salt in them now my blood pressure’s spiking. We are not friends I don’t comprehend, I just don’t get your message you pressing send? I guess this how you act like Charades with friends, don’t you know you’re blackfacin’ but not on skin? I’m know ally but I know some alley’s been, the graveyards of my people bcuz of skin. You want rights that are civil and let you sin, we just wanted a future for our children. We just wanted to stop being vilified, you want rights that approves of you kissing guys. As a guy, and now that aint sufficient why, them same guys wearing wigs and got smokey eye. We just wanted to live with no fear to die, or get framed for some stuff we ain’t even try. We ain’t want no approval of lifestyle, we had been slaves for too long it ends like now. Fair housing and schools were our fight how, does what you call a right even like ours. I don’t think that it’s right so it’s lights out, and I got a lot left coming right now.

It wasn’t bout civil rights
Yeah all of that lying will get you likes
All in the dark cuz you scared of lights
You playing no part in these civil rights
You lied

It wasn’t bout civil rights
Yeah all of that lying will get you likes
All in the dark cuz you scared of lights
But you playing no part in these civil rights
You lied

This ain’t no civil rights, though y’all been getting judicial likes, got many blinder then triple mice, but the difference between us and y’all’s a hike. See black people never demanded that, every ethnicity would submit to blacks. And no president put a black power flag on the front of the White House to show us that.

Turn Up!

This ain’t no civil rights, since a lot of black people are scared of heights, we ain’t want nothing higher than what was right, we just wanted to vote and not lose our life. We ain’t never demand to the country that, teach the kids in schools to be ally’s for blacks. We ain’t make it illegal to tell kids who want to transition to black skin they can’t do that. Matter fact, we was never promoting that, and if you black and act white ain’t hope in that. Never did we demand that the country change pronouns because if you don’t it might set us back. Ain’t no big corporations come get our back, man I told y’all this on gay is the new black, but y’all don’t even understand like that one Craig Mack, on that Mary joint, that was lit way way back. Oh now it’s not good if you are bigot but when we brought that up people still was wit it. All this time the KKK’s allowed to march, but that straight parade they stopped before it started. People hatred our skin that we couldn’t change, but y’all seem to change most scientific claims. People change who they are on a daily man, and we gotta believe ‘em is what you saying? You got black people talking bout reparations, cuz we’re looking at ours and y’all situations. Y’all get everything or it’s a travesty, they won’t even say we got PTSD. For them hundreds of years through the tragedies, how dare you say your pride is proud I should be. We ain’t never say black men are really white women, demanding you forego reality.

Hook
It wasn’t bout civil rights
Yeah all of that lying will get you likes
All in the dark cuz you scared of lights
You playing no part in these civil rights
You lied

It wasn’t bout civil rights
Yeah all of that lying will get you likes
All in the dark cuz you scared of lights
And you playing no part in these civil rights
You lied

Ain’t no
Ain’t no
Wasn’t bout
Ain’t no
Was never
Ain’t bout
Was never bout

Let me put in simple terms for you then you ain’t friends you beefing with your acronym. Even they see the flaws in your acumen, which is wild cuz like you they are glad to sin.
