What About Black Lives?

(album: On The Other Side Of Here - 2021)

What about black lives?
What about black lives?
What about black lives?

Tired of being brutalized
The victim of white lies
What about black lives?

Single knee to the neck
Body slammed to the ground
Couldn't take a single breath
White policeman kneeling down

I can't breathe
Was his final sound

How many George Floyds have to die
Before we end this genocide?

Saying
What about black lives?
What about black lives?
What about black lives?
We're tired of being demonized
The victim of white lies
What about black lives?

A nation up in flames
President calls the national guard
Nothing will ever be the same
Long as policemen still bear arms

Black men marching
Wearing masks into the dark
Change is coming, there's no doubt
It's time we finally figured out

What about black lives?
What about black lives?
What about black lives?
(Time we heard the truth)
We're tired of being compromised
The victim of white lies
What about black lives?

Couldn't take a single breath
White policeman kneeling down
