Billy Wales - Say Their Names Lyrics

Typical morning
Sunday its February 23rd
Why the f*ck am I waking up in a caskit six feet under
Lifeless
Not to mention I am black
Accused of wrong doing so they cocked the gun back
Yeah they cocked the gun back
What type of shit is that
You f*cking coward
Think you're strong
Nah you should be dead
There ain't no room for a racist white man
Instead
Lets hunt the ones who kill because of skin yeah
I was on a jog
Running tryna clear my mind getting chased like a dog
Man they tryna say I robbed
Like what the f*ck I do
Start defending myself
Now they cocking back to shoot
Please remember my name
Another unarmed black man killed for the way
I f*cking looked
Yeah uh
Stop acting like you saw me
Please don't forget
My names Ahmaud Arbery
Yeah
I saw a story on the news the other day
A man named Ahmaud was killed in a tragic way
Say his name
Yeah
Yeah ima say his name
As I travel to work
I'm an EMT
Fighting through this quarantine
Helping others through this time
Finally I get some sleep
Trying to recovery peacefully
Yeah
I started hearing banging
A man bust through my door claiming he a cop
I asked for a warrant
But he pulled his pistol out
Eight shots to my chest
Felt my body drop
My husband screaming
Yelling please stop
Take me instead
But the damage was done yeah the damage was done
Uh
Please remember my name
Another unarmed woman who was taken away
Did I mention I was black
Please do me one favor
Don't forget my name
My names Breonna Taylor
I heard about what's going on
Man this shit is scary
Being a black man isn't beneficiary
Every time I leave my house I don't feel protected
Being that my 6'7
Easily I am selected
Today I decided I would eat at cup foods
Accused me of forged money got the wrong dude
Next thing you know four men wearing all blue
Making false statements tried to prove that they were untrue
Yeah
But they ain't wanna listen
Guess my skin didn't help
Yeah they had other visions
He put his knee on my neck while I screamed for some help
I can't breathe let me up
I can't breathe had enough
Please please
Please remember my name
Another unarmed black man taken away
I think its time we fight back
No more being paranoid
Always say my name
My name is George Floyd
I know I'm white and I never will understand
But instead I will listen
Shall we hold hands
Come together
Lets unite
Time to take a stand
Show the world we colorblind to each others skin
Ima use my white privilege in a new fashion
Speaking out so everybody hear what's really happening
Black lives matter that's the only phrase that matters
And if you think different you the reason for the tragic
Deaths
That we've had or we're still having
Why is it so hard to except a new chapter
I really hope that you can change and accept the blackness
In the end were human
Now its time we take action
