This One's on You
Listen to his words, I don't think he's lying
Someone get this man some help
Can't you hear him crying
Your job is to protect, not promote the violence
Damn I don't understand, you ain't even trying
(I can't breathe)
Look you got him on the ground
He ain't even fighting
Get your foot up off his neck
Don't you see he's dying
Your job is to protect, not promote the violence
Damn I don't understand, you ain't even trying
As I look around all I see is pain
Something's gotta give something's gotta change
Watching people being beaten
You say you're ashamed
Still you hide behind the phrase
But it wasn't me
You say you wanna keep the peace
But stand aside too afraid to speak your piece
Officer, we need you to stand up with us
We need your protection
We need your love
Don't just look away
You can stop the pain
You can be that change
You can be that change
Look
This is a call to arms
No not the fire arms
I'm talking the loving arms
All the different color arms
White, black, brown, even blue
We fighting for that bond
This is the time to show
What side you're really on
No more standing in silence and watching
As the violence tears apart the country
Divided? We're supposed to be united
It's time to man up, we must fight
And stand up, for what's right
Don't clam up, don't freeze up in the spotlight
You might be scared of the bad ones
We're scared of them too
But you the one with the badge son
You supposed to be true
Right is right, wrong is wrong
No matter the who
Everybody has a choice
This one is on you
Don't just look away
You can stop the pain
(Your job is to protect, not promote the violence)
You can be that change
You can be that change
(Don't just stand in silence)
Don't just look away
You can stop the pain
(Don't just stand in silence)
(Your job is to protect, not promote the violence)
You can be that change
You can be that change
(Don't just stand in silence)
Someone get this man some help
Can't you hear him crying
Your job is to protect, not promote the violence
Damn I don't understand, you ain't even trying
(I can't breathe)
Look you got him on the ground
He ain't even fighting
Get your foot up off his neck
Don't you see he's dying
Your job is to protect, not promote the violence
Damn I don't understand, you ain't even trying
As I look around all I see is pain
Something's gotta give something's gotta change
Watching people being beaten
You say you're ashamed
Still you hide behind the phrase

You say you wanna keep the peace
But stand aside too afraid to speak your piece
Officer, we need you to stand up with us

You can be that change
You can be that change

(Don't just stand in silence)
(Your job is to protect, not promote the violence)
You can be that change
You can be that change
(Don't just stand in silence)
