My Life Matters - Raef

You’ve trapped me in, shut out, and put me down

Keepin the world far out with walls around

Just stop resisting and you’ll be fine

We’ve heard you say this a million times

I wanna live my life in harmony

The way the Holy Land was meant to be

Have you been blue-blinded by the media?

Chipping away at my hurriyah

With all that’s twisted in this crazy world

I want you to know: my life matters

I’ll set the clouds on fire 'cause it’s how I feel

I want the world to know that my pain is real

It’s time to make it right, It’s time to join the fight

Cause I can’t breathe, just let me be!

With all that’s twisted in this crazy world

I want you to know: my life matters!

I see your lights, they’re flashing red white and blue

Just keep it cool and calm, it’s what we’re told to do

Hands in the air now and you’ll be fine

You’ve only done this a million times

Just know I’m proud, in love with my own skin

That’s all you see, your fear is running you thin

You say: I’m only here to protect and serve

Then why do I feel like I’m less than my worth?

With all that’s twisted in this crazy world

I want you to know: my life matters

I’ll set the clouds on fire 'cause it’s how I feel

I want the world to know that my pain is real

It’s time to make it right, It’s time to join the fight

Cause I can’t breathe, just let me be!

With all that’s twisted in this crazy world

I want you to know: my life matters!

Only got one and it’ll pass us by

Time’s running out and then we wonder why

Looking at a mirror, I’ll tell you what I see

The world gets better when I start with me

I’ll set the clouds on fire 'cause it’s how I feel

I want the world to know that my pain is real

It’s time to make it right, It’s time to join the fight

Cause I can’t breathe, just let me be!

With all that’s twisted in this crazy world

I want you to know: my life matters!
