Call Yourself a Lover - Janine

Too many mothers crying

People dying on our phones

Honestly I’m scared the ones I love won’t make it home

When they’re walking or driving or in their own homes

Law in their face justice leaves them alone

It ain’t right, it ain’t right

When if it was your mother, your brother, your son or your lover

Your father, your daughter, your sister, your friend

I don’t think you’d sit back

So If you look like me and you don’t wanna speak

Don’t call yourself a lover

Don’t call yourself a lover

Change needs us, I’m begging you please stand up

And call yourself a lover

Call yourself a lover

Don’t tell somebody bleeding

How their supposed to bleed

Quoting Luke 6:39 but ignoring those in need

Their shooting EMT’s

Kids getting candy

Garner and Floyd said that they can’t breathe

When did signing the wrong check

Become signing your own death?

When if it was your mother, your brother, your son or your lover

Your father, your daughter, your sister, your friend

I don’t think you’d sit back

So If you look like me and you don’t wanna speak

Don’t call yourself a lover

Don’t call yourself a lover

Change needs us, I’m begging you please stand up

And call yourself a lover

Call yourself a lover

Skin tones don’t deserve gravestones

It’s time to make a change in our history

Cause if one life is not treated equal

Theres no way that all lives could ever be

Skin tones don’t deserve gravestones

It’s time to make a change in our history

Cause if one life is not treated equal

Theres no way that all lives could ever be

So If you look like me and you don’t wanna speak

Don’t call yourself a lover

Don’t call yourself a lover

Change needs us, I’m begging you please stand up

And call yourself a lover

Call yourself a lover

So If you look like me and you don’t wanna speak

Don’t call yourself a lover

Don’t call yourself a lover

Change needs us, I’m begging you please stand up

And call yourself a lover

Call yourself a lover
