You Say

You say

Do you really love me like you

Do you love me like you say

You seem threatened by skin every time I come around

And when I give a smile, you dey reply with a throng

I came to visit your church, and as I sat there on the pews,

I gave my full attention to your preacher giving views,

Him say why are they still out there, why does their life matter

When all lives matter, we must not push this agenda no further lord lord,

I felt like a gentile no place to hide..one brown skin and two bright eyes

I'm just trying to survive...I'm just trying to get by

We're made in the image of the Most High

To walk this land, but some people tend to think that they're cut from a different brand, excuse me sir, pardon my agenda, Jah say to mix up, just like a blender,

Black, white or Asian, Hispanic, all neighbors

So, I pray for the Spirit to speak

And I pray we all stand up to and take heed

Hate in the heart of the oppressed and oppressor just the same

Will burn away the present and bring the future down in flames,

So teach the children history so they don't have to repeat it,

I love my enemies, but my enemies got to recognize my humanity…my humanity..set me free

Do you really love me like you

Do you love me like you say

You seem threatened by skin every time I come around

And when I try to smile, you dey reply with a throng

Do you really love me like you

Do you love me like you say

Are you threatened by my skin?

I build your railroads, I pick your cotton

I nurse your children, you steal my loving

Steal my loving...do you really love? Have you ever loved?
