Say Their Names

Sir The Great One here, a.k.a. Kyng Kobra on the track

It's time to gain respect
Take your knees of our necks
Hands up don't shoot
Tell me am I next?

Say their names

Say their names

I woke up this morning to Black life taken
Protests in the streets and the movement is awakened
We can't go on this way, there's too many hearts aching
We're living in a world where too many people hating
We say Black Lives Matter
They say all lives matter
We say our lives matter
They say blue lives matter
It's time to wake up folks, hit the polls we need to vote
Need a real president cause 45 is a joke
Keep your eyes open, cause we gotta stay woke
New battle same war and we coming with the smoke
We protest We march We vote We speak
We wear this Black skin everyday of the week
Battling the system and injustice is a fight
We battle everyday for our basic human rights

It's time to gain respect
Take your knees of our necks
Hands up don't shoot
Tell me am I next?

Say their names

Laid trapped on the ground in front of millions got slaughtered
George Floyd never made it home to hug his little daughter
Rayshard Brooks shot in the back he was murdered on the scene
Police murder after murder it's messed up what we've seen
Breonna Taylor got murdered in her own damn house
It's not talked about enough police quiet as a mouse
Ahmaud Arbery was jogging he was murdered out of hate
There's too many of us dying now it's time to regulate
Tamir Rice, was a twelve year old boy
Police pulled up shot him he was playing with a toy
Trayvon Martin, he was only seventeen years old
Shot and murdered in the street God bless his soul
Mike Brown got shot bleeding out on the ground
Twelve wanna shoot you when you laying face down
Philando Castile stopped for a taillight
Shot five times he was murdered on sight
Sandra Bland, she was hung in her cell
Police lied, said she did it herself
Eric Garner, murdered, blood running cold
Police killed him in illegal choke hold
He said I can't breath (No justice, no peace)
I said I can't breath (No racist police)
Why can't you see (No justice, no peace)
That we can't breath (No racist police)

It's time to gain respect
Take your knees of our necks
Hands up don't shoot
Tell me am I next?

It's twenty twenty and they still lynching us
Just like they did our ancestors now they doing us
It's all out of hatred, there's really no excuse
Whenever they get mad then they go grab a noose
Strange fruit, people swinging from trees
My people being burned to the third degree
I'm praying to God for my sisters my brothers
We all need to learn, to love one another
Created the same, no matter the color
Stop judging a book, based on its cover

It's time to gain respect
Take your knees of our necks
Hands up don't shoot
Tell me am I next?
