Jens O. - The Message Lyrics

We're tired of the racism we demand equality
No justice no peace and we mean that in all honesty
I sing this for my people we all want to live in harmony
Let's come together and love each other whole heartily

We're tired of the racism we demand equality
No justice no peace and we mean that in all honesty
I sing this for my people we all want to live in harmony
Let's come together and love each other whole heartily

God if you're out there I hope you're listening
My black brothers, sisters and I are tired of the killings
That's why we're out protesting so the violence can end
We don't want police brutality to keep becoming a trend
On some Lil Baby shit I'm emotionally scarred
Police act on self defense while pulling the race card
Bullets turn red
Policemen wear blue
Just want a safe world that my future kids could live through
Land of the free or home of the oppressed?
Why does it anger you so much if blacks or minorities gain success?
Law and order have become a dam that blocked the flow of social progress
MLK once said so you think we gon' keep settling for less?
Not the 1950's leave the segregation at the door
We just want to be more unified like the sea to the shore
This has been going on too long that you can't ignore
We won't stop until justice is restored

We're tired of the racism we demand equality
No justice no peace and we mean that in all honesty
I sing this for my people we all want to live in harmony
Let's come together and love each other whole heartily

We're tired of the racism we demand equality
No justice no peace and we mean that in all honesty
I sing this for my people we all want to live in harmony
Let's come together and love each other whole heartily

Este mensaje es para la comunidad latina
Somos diferentes pero nadamos en la misma piscina
Lo que esta sucediendo puede pasar a ti o a tu vecina
Solo por hablar español a ti te incriminan
Arrest the cops that killed Breonna Taylor
Yo se que me entiendes you don't need a translator
We're all God's kids y nos hizo en su imagen
Ya estamos cansado con la injusticia y que nos ataquen
Yo soy Puerto Riqueña y también Dominicana
Trujillo empezó el colorismo y eso fue propaganda
Yo no niego mis raíces y de ellas orgullosa si lo soy
Parezco gringa pero mis ascendientes Africanos son
Dios líbranos de estas aguas mansas
Que Giovanni Lopez en paz descansa
Espero que estos palabras te pegan como un web de araña
Ser moreno es bello no deje que nadie te engaña

We're tired of the racism we demand equality
No justice no peace and we mean that in all honesty
I sing this for my people we all want to live in harmony
Let's come together and love each other whole heartily

We're tired of the racism we demand equality
No justice no peace and we mean that in all honesty
I sing this for my people we all want to live in harmony
Let's come together and love each other whole heartily

We all gotta come together y ser unidos
Somos más fuertes juntos que divididos
Y no nos demos por vencidos
Ya suficiente hemos sufrido

Si yo me hubiera quedado callada
Yo hubiera sido parte del problema tambien
Que pare la violencia ya
