[Intro]
Stand up for what's right. Don't be on the wrong side of history

[Chorus]
We need protection from those who protect us
Sirens, police tend to come before death does
Sir I can't breathe, every call been neglected
Out here no peace, get the ones out to get us

[Bridge]
All the lives you take can't be by mistake
Police ride with hate, oh we're right to rage
All the lives you take can't be by mistake
Police ride with hate, oh we're right to rage

[Verse]
This goin' on for too long, we know
Too many lost to the cops with no
Motive the system is broken, when pigs come around
We just don't wanna talk you know
Wonder when shits gonna stop it's old
Riot and loot all the pots of gold
Cries of the people in pain and neglected
We're one single race and what's mine is yours
Sad, sad, sad truth we're living
They deploying all the troops defending
Murderers in badges
Rubber bullets, gas and anything they gotta do to end it
Do just what you gotta do, don't give in
All this shit been overdue a minute
Pick your side and if you're silent you an opp
Do more than just go tell your truth defend it
The hate you give outweighs the shit
You claim you're standing for
The gang of pigs put us in pens and murder each is worse
They hate my skin, they hate my kin
And they hate you for yours but stand strong

[Interlude]
To my brothers and sisters, stand strong

[Bridge]
'Cause when you scream black power
You scream brown power
When you scream black power
It's these lives matter
When you scream black power
Man scream that louder
When you scream black power
It's dreams won't shatter
When you scream black power
It's these lives matter
'Cause it's black lives matter or no lives matter

[Chorus]
We need protection from those who protect us
Sirens, police tend to come before death does
Sir I can't breathe every call been neglected
Out here no peace, get the ones tryna get us
We need protection from those who protect us
Sirens, police tend to come before death does
Sir I can't breathe every call been neglected
Out here no peace, get the ones tryna get us
[Outro]
If you're going out to protest or to loot, or riot, I just ask that you be safe and to you wear a face mask, wear dark glasses, remain anonymous. Don't post on Instagram or none of that bullshit 'cause the pigs are looking for any excuse to round people up. And I also ask that you look after one another and protect each other 'cause were in this together. Keep fighting the good fight
