[ Featuring CJ ]
Every time it spills, my blood runs blue
The sky is heavy red and the truth ain't true
What else can a heart be expected to do?
But break and rebuild again, march and be moved
I've never seen a medicine to help this wound heal
Since when is the air a thing we're able to steal
You helped me understand that these moments are real
Where I can trust what I say when I say what I feel
I'm out here lonely with this weapon that I'm holding
My choice is only swing it hard and stand boldly
I'm not myself but these people think they know me
So I can stay quiet cause that door can't keep closing
Can't say I miss you but I do feel that pain
Like every voice is someone saying your name
Wish I could tell you that I won't be the same
Which might just be the greatest thing that I've ever gained
So tell me
What can I do? I refuse to stop believing
Tell me what to do to help them finally start seeing
What can I do? I'm the one still breathing
So tell me what to do
What can I do? I refuse to stop believing
Tell me what to do to help them finally start seeing
What can I do? I'm the one still breathing
So tell me what to do
The battlefield's old but this fight feels fresh
Too many good soldiers have got up and left
Afraid to progress, or inspired by death
Two armies divided over one man's mess
Sometimes I wish to put a gun to his brain
Sometimes I'd settle for him taking some blame
But what he took was not a thing you could claim
Cause it's more than just blood if it's still in your veins
First time ever we both want to be friends
30 years lost time for making amends
But now that's all gone cause she likes playing pretend
I better never hear you say that racist bullshit again
And if you ever feel like changing your mind
I'll be patiently waiting ready to stand by your side
Cause it can't be divine if it's made to divide
And if you can't agree with that then you're no family of mine
What can I do? I refuse to stop believing
Tell me what to do to help you finally start seeing
What can I do? I'm the one still breathing
So tell me what to do
What can I do? I refuse to stop believing
Tell me what to do to help you finally start seeing
What can I do? I'm the one still breathing
So tell me what to do
It's time the ones you come from, go from your comfort to people you confront
It's time I stand up, make a promise that I won't stop until the work is done
It's time we raise our hands, make them fists, and keep battling until these cowards run
And that thing that you took was not a thing you could claim
Cause it's more than just blood when it's still in your veins
It's time the ones you come from, go from your comfort to people you confront
It's time I stand up, make a promise that I won't stop until the work is done
It's time the ones you come from, go from your comfort to people you confront
And that thing that you took was not a thing you could claim
Cause it was more than just blood when it was still in his veins
What can I do? I refuse to stop believing
Tell me what to do to help you finally start seeing
What can I do? I'm the one still breathing
So tell me what to do
What can I do? I refuse to stop believing
Tell me what to do to bring this change we've all been needing
What can I do? I'm the one still breathing
So tell me what to do
