The moon reflects it's light against his  skin
 Makes him seem so much more beautiful then he's every been
 So alive
 So breathtaking 
 It's the way his skin shines
 Full of life and a future that seems too far but it's alright
 Mama tells him that hard work and a little prayer would make everything seem clearer
 Make their futures come sooner
 Black boys look blue under the moon light
 As they lay on blood stained concrete for the first and last time
 As it sucks up the last bits of this dear boy of mine
 Selfish men take his breath away
 Steal it and add it to there collection
 Of black boys that just wouldn't stop resisting
 Wouldn't listen
 So they had to kill him
 The moon
 Still shines even on the worst nights
 It's light hits his skin 
 Color drained
 Left with only the bullet that ripped through him
 No more future
 No more nights cause he won't dream
 And mama cries as she notices all her words will only ever be lies 
 As the world takes the life from her dead boys eyes
 Black boys look blue under the moon light
 Black boy
 Said that dark nights are never dark enough to take away the sunrise 
 But for him
 The sun won't shine
 He doesn't get a second life
 To see if mama words were really right
 Black boys 
 Are only every recognized when it comes to crimes 
 Only ever picked first when it comes to jail cells that are assigned to them at birth
 Only ever shine when they get the chance to
 So our black boys will only ever shine in the moonlight
