Look at the butterfly, it flutters around, enjoying its life  

But in a moment, it is gone and forgotten.  

Life is filled with ups and downs, like a rollercoaster of a ride  

Filled with obstacles, strife, troubles, and woes,  

Black lives especially, we live and breathe  

We all die just the same, and life goes on.  

Black lives matter,  

We need to love our lives, before it is all gone.  

Just like the butterfly, gone and forgotten.  

We will live and leave a legacy of hope  

For those we leave behind.  

Rise up and remember who you are.  

Be proud of what you are made of.  

Show the world your strengths and   

What you are made of…make them remember.  

We are black and proud and our lives matter.  

We are black and proud and our lives matter.  

Say it one more time…  

We are black and proud and our lives matter.
