blue and red
sirens in the night
black and blue
i’m ready for a fight

No justice no peace
No silence no sleep
They kill us we can’t breathe
our mothers they weep

Feel powerless worthless
They’re under my skin
I can’t stand this bloodshed
We can’t let them win

Felt the pavement once
Still got scars from fighting cuffs
I know fear and fight or flight
Running naked in the night

But I won’t take this shit no more
The fear of busting down the door
That makes our confrontations dangerous
We’ve had enough and there is no playing us

Protests are legal despite what they say to us
feeding us lies because they are afraid of us
hope they don’t kill me but I had to say this
We can unite and then make them obey us

I will not bend to their will and just take it
making this music to show I won’t fake it
The power that be will not bend we must break it
we must take it

Imagine a world without violence and mayhem
No hateful slurs and no racists to say them
No cop on your neck and no reasons to run
Your hands in my pants in the place of a gun take a
walk and I’d breathe with no reason to leave
let my guard down a little my heart on my sleeve
Sit in the garden with you and just be
This is the life that wed lose I don’t wanna grieve


Oh yeah I had to say this
Bugging our phones
So I know that they hear this

Oh no I had to say this
selling our country
And cashing in payments

Oh yeah I had to say this
I demand justice for Breonna Taylor

Oh no I hate to say it
I hope I’m the last they put down on the pavement


I can’t do anything alone I know
My spirit caught in the undertow
I go with the flow until the river runs red
I can’t watch in silence get me out of my head
