  • This song is for the lives that have been lost and to encourage allies to speak up. I made it 73 beats per minute in honor of George Floyd who was born in 1973. I wanted to create a token that can continue the heartbeat that was taken from him and many other black lives. Streaming income from this song will be donated to Black Lives Matter organizations. I would like to get everyones face involved in this message so I can put a video together with everyone sharing the message of “If you look like me, stand up and speak up.” Please send a video of yourself lip syncing to this song to: callyourselfalover@gmail.com . I love you and I stand with you 🌹❤️
    Lyrics:
    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 6:31 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
