Change the Times

I just wanna say this
It's the time
To hear us out
Cause we all been trying
Ain't nobody picking fights
Least not the ones who do mean right
We're just trying
To change the times
Sick and tired of losing lives
So we protest, it's our right
No more black people need to die

In a world of pandemic
See everybody is hectic
And to people setting fires
Don't believe that you get it
It's not the way to do it
Fire to the flame
R.I.P George Floyd
Everybody know the name
There's a million other people
On the front line
Feeling like its never safe
When you hold that sign
See all the black living on a lifeline
Even when they're innocent
And never did a crime
But lemme say this
Not all cops are bad
Not all thugs are black
I am white, but I got your back
And I don't get it, but I understand
Cause I never had to deal
With the fear you had
But it doesn't mean I won't stand to fight though
Cause I know what is wrong
Fight for the right though
Gon' be hard every night though
But I stand for the pain
That you feel every night so

I just wanna say this
It's the time
To hear us out
Cause we all been trying
Ain't nobody picking fights
Least not the ones who do mean right
We're just trying
To change the times
Sick and tired of losing lives
So we protest, it's our right
No more black people need to die

Lot of people in the protest
Blocking off the roads
With a soldier in a vest
A lot of people with the power to suppress
All the people who are trying to contest
They're throwing their tear gas
Just into the crowd
And harming the people to make em clear out
They're shooting their bullets of rubber avow
Arresting the people they say in their vow
They swore to protect em
But I'm feeling it's not safe
It's not my place
But I gotta say something
Cause it ain't right
Anybody staying silent
How you sleep at night?
It really ain't fair
Never let em do it
I'd rather go to jail
Then let em put you through it
We really need a change
So imma take a stand
For helping all the people
Who really need a hand

I just wanna say this
It's the time
To hear us out
Cause we all been trying
Ain't nobody picking fights
Least not the ones who do mean right
We're just trying
To change the times
Sick and tired of losing lives
So we protest, it's our right
No more black people need to die
I just wanna say this
It's the time
To hear us out
Cause we all been trying
Ain't nobody picking fights
Least not the ones who do mean right
We're just trying
To change the times
Sick and tired of losing lives
So we protest, it's our right
No more black people need to die
