All Lives Matter                              by Bobby G. Moore/Bill Thompson

Verse one   

Took a man down in Baltimore town

Another man dies in Minneapolis now

How many more bodies still gotta be found?

Come on people this just can't be allowed.

Verse two

Took these men down in their own towns

In their own streets were they out of bounds.

Some protected and served, put their lives on the line

Others remembered by a roadside shrine.

Chorus one

Say it out loud, let’s be proud

Let’s all say together,  ”All Lives Matter!”

Before the crowd starts building and the cops crack down

Let’s all say together that ”All Lives Matter!”

Yea say it out loud, lift this dark cloud

We all say together that “All Lives Matter!”

Verse three   

A young man dies in Ferguson town

His momma cries out, “Burn this mother down!”

A young girl screams, beggin’ for an answer.

Let’s all say together, “All Lives Matter!”

Yea come on people just say it out loud

We all say together that All Lives Matter

Instrumental bridge 

Verse four

Five men shot down in a Dallas payback

Three more go down in a Baton Rouge attack

Gun shots fired by some maniac

Pressure’s building, streets starting to crack.

Chorus two

Come on people just say it out loud

We all say together that All Lives Matter

Yea say it out loud, let’s be proud

We all say together “All Lives Matter”

Said come on people, let’s join the crowd

We all say together that “All Lives Matter”

Yeah, we’re a strong people who can’t be bowed

We all say together, “All Lives Matter”

Verse five

Took these men’s lives away from their towns

Bleedin’ in the streets lord they've put them down

Cry out the families left behind

No peace of mind will they ever they find.

Verse six 

Cry out their children, wife, father and mother

The young girl sees a sign that reads “Black Lives Matter”

She said to her momma is this the answer?

We all say together All Lives Matter

Yea come on people just say it out loud

We all say together that All Lives Matter

Yea say it out loud, let’s be proud

We all say together “All Lives Matter”

Said come on people, let’s join the crowd

We all say together that “All Lives Matter”

Yeah, we’re a strong people who can’t be bowed

We all say together that  “All Lives Matter”

Solo by J-Rod

Chorus four

Come on people, please, let’s find the answer

We all say together, “All Lives Matter”.

We gotta stop the killin’ that’s spreadin’ like cancer.

We all say together, “All Lives Matter!”

We’re all brothers and sisters in this country we treasure,

We all say together, “All Lives Matter!”.

We all gotta fight to make things better,

We all say together, “All Lives Matter!”

Before more shots ring out and families shattered

We all say together, “All Lives Matter!”

We all love one another, avoid disaster,

We all say together, “All Lives Matter!”

          solo again  to end…
