lyrics

The nations on fire
Its burning down sinking ship
The streets are on fire
We’ve got a vacuum of leadership
The people mobilized
They can’t stand by and witness it
The nations on fire
Whatcha gonna do bout it?

We’ve reached a critical mass

Authoritarianism
A trumped up piece of shit
Racial inequality
The powder keg has been lit
Tear gas and bullets
Can’t begin to silence it
The nations on fire
Whatcha gonna do about it

We’ve reached a critical mass

[talking]
I don’t care what race those 4 cops were. They are still murderers. It is another scenario where the police pre-judiciously murdered an unarmed black man. From my perspective, their background is inconsequential. What is consequential is that: statistically black people are more likely to incarcerated and killed by the police than any other group.
That is the systemic issue that has been brought to national attention by this particular tragedy.
Rest In Peace George Floyd. Your name will not be forgotten. Rest In Peace Ahmaud Arbery. Your name will not be forgotten. Rest In Peace Breonna Taylor. Your name will not be forgotten. Rest In Peace Eric Garner And every soul who has been slain by the police.

Your tragedy will not be forgotten.

It’s time for a change! It’s time for a change! It’s time for a change!
