Like Chance The Rapper said “Music is all we got” and that’s exactly what artists such as Jay Z, Chris Brown and Miguel are proving in light of all of the horrible events that have continued to plague our communities. #BlackLivesMatter #AllLivesMatter
Although the senseless murders of black men has been a problem for quite some time now, the last 2 killings of 2 black men, Alton Sterling and Philando Castile, seemed to have been the straw that broke the camels back because just a few days later police offers were killed in Dallas during a Black Lives Matter protest.
I believe everyone has been affected by all of the hate that’s being portrayed in this world but we’re finally getting to hear celebrities speak out and try to use their voices for change.
Jay Z’s “Spiritual” is a touching song where he doesn’t hold back one bit on how he feels about the issues black men are facing today. He raps
“Yeah, I am not poison, no I am not poison
Just a boy from the hood that
Got my hands in the air
In despair don’t shoot
I just wanna do good, ah
I am not poison, no I am not poison
Just a boy from the hood that
Got my hands in the air
In despair don’t shoot
I just wanna do good, uh”
Below is a letter Jay released along with “Spiritual” to explain his inspiration behind it.
Chris Brown also released some new music reflecting on the situation with “A Lot of Love” and it’s one that everyone needs to hear. In these dark times, Brown is the light hoping to bring some positivity to this world and it’s the message everyone should be carrying in their hearts.
