1000 black lives a day are aborted - did they matter?

FOH

So when I'm living in poverty and dying in streets

And barley have food to eat, you'll be blind to this?

I'm lazy, undisciplined and to your daughters, once you find out, they’ll say I’m a rapist.

Bring me into the world, right?

A world, where you'll make deals, to throw me away behind closed doors.

Then deny me housing, even when I've pulled myself up from being poor.

Pulled myself up from the boots straps, of the boots I never had.

Then laugh in my face, when I f*** up, say it because I’m fatherless, but that same circle took away my dad.

And you want to throw around God in the middle of this,

Like he has never killed babies using violence.

So when I'm in the wrong place, at the wrong time, now I'm dying.

And my mom’s crying.

And clearly, I was lying... I deserved that.

Racism, capitalism, gun control, poverty, education.

All the things that need attention.

Let’s be honest, they don’t care about black babies, and that more of their mothers die in labor.

They aint worried about black babies, this is about controlling ladies!!!

Let’s drag the blacks in the middle of some more shit, they have nothing to do with.

Our babies been dying, been DEAD!!

You just want to force all women, so more of yours will be born, live and thrive instead.

Black lives matter, no matter how many abortion happen.

Don’t take one issue and entangle it in another.

Don’t attempt to place another thing, on the shoulders of blacks and black mothers!!
