Saw George Floyd die today
It sparked something in me
I just could not believe
It happened on TV
I sat in disbelief
I screamed out get your knee
Up off his neck
What's it about my skin
That makes you hate within
You want to hurt my kin
I thought hate was a sin
Don't want to see us win
Suppressing votes to steal
Our voice from us
It's time we raise up
When you beat us down we'll get back up
Stand strong yes we must
And let's show the world we've had enough
Covid has made life bleak
More dying as we speak
Yet some still don't believe
They're marching in the streets
Don't want to take vaccines
Willing to lose their jobs
To infect us
What's with this world today
Now we have Asian hate
Gun violence every day
Natives in unmarked graves
There's no more time to waste
We have to get things straight
Right here and now
It's time we raise up
When you beat us down we'll get back up
Stand strong yes we must
And let's show the world we've had enough

Saw George Floyd die today

I screamed out get your knee
Up off his neck
What's it about my skin
That makes you hate within
You want to hurt my kin
I thought hate was a sin
Don't want to see us win
Suppressing votes to steal
Our voice from us
It's time we raise up
When you beat us down we'll get back up
Stand strong yes we must
And let's show the world we've had enough
Covid has made life bleak
More dying as we speak
Yet some still don't believe

Don't want to take vaccines
Willing to lose their jobs
