the black man isn't allowed to die with honor

the black boy is not allowed to die a man

they die unarmed

they die with their hands up

they die with a deafening shot

they die with their family cowering, fearing what's next

they die innocent

they do not die thugs

they do not die drug dealers

they do not die threats to your safety

they do not die the ones with power

they do not die filthy niggers

the death of the black man is not through a loss of culture

the death of the black man is not caused by a narcotics addiction

the murder of the black man is by the white man's hand
