[Chorus]
Protect and serve, ha
You've got the nerve
Wearin' that black and blue
Thinking you know the truth
8 minutes 46, man
Floyd was losin' it
Happy family (Nope)
Lying in agony
[Post-Chorus]
King had a dream
In 1963
Follow your dreams, they say
Luther, go hit replay
Hold up the hashtags, parades
Marches and walks
No matter what we tried
Not once did they talk
[Verse 1]
Now we out here rioting, the real talk be spiralling
Looters be ruining the message that we are piloting
Forcing divide, fires outside
White privilege, an issue worldwide
See them smiling, but we cryin' inside
Let's be civil, let's be real
Why I gotta pay before my meal?
You'll never understand what I go through
This racist shit I'm used to
Time has passed but nothing is changed
I look at a cop, but it ain't the same
"I can't breathe, officer, I can't breathe"
Death by tragedy
[Chorus]
Protect and serve, ha
You've got the nerve
Wearin' that black and blue
Thinking you know the truth
8 minutes 46, man
Floyd was losin' it
Happy family (Nope)
Lying in agony
[Post-Chorus]
King had a dream
In 1963
Follow your dreams, they say
Luther, go hit replay
No, this ain't 'bout one man
Walk with us, take a stand
Prove this be freedom lands
With no blood on your hands
[Verse 2]
Small beat but a lot to say
Listen up, this be the child's play
Cold blooded, killed another brother
Knee on his neck, he was calling for his mother
30 to the matter, [?]
Won't learn this in history
Been fighting for centuries
Bank of justice is bankrupt, it's just inequality
Hahahaha, oh, god
[Chorus]
Protect and serve, ha
You've got the nerve
Wearin' that black and blue
Thinking you know the truth
8 minutes 46, man
Floyd has triggered it
Look at society
We want equality
[Post-Chorus]
King spoke his mind
In 1963
"I have a dream," he said
Martin, your dreams are dead
No, this ain't 'bout one man
Walk with us, take a stand
Prove this be freedom lands
With no blood on your hands
[Outro]
Rest in peace
George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor
And all the other countless lives we've lost
It's just plain racism
We're with you
Protect and serve, ha
You've got the nerve
Wearin' that black and blue
Thinking you know the truth
8 minutes 46, man
Floyd was losin' it
Happy family (Nope)
Lying in agony
[Post-Chorus]
King had a dream
In 1963
Follow your dreams, they say
