Say Their Name

You jail and you kill us
But we won't take anymore
You've stolen damn near everything
From us, and still blame us for being poor
But I got my guns and I got my comrades
We coming for all the wealth you hoard
Yeah, Yeah
On my Spongebob shit
Dismantling this oppressive establishment
Board by board, and uh

Oh, no, we won't stop
Till no more black homies
Are killed by cops, and uh
Hell naw, we won't rest
Till we get everything off our chest
No sleep till we rush the concentration
Camps and we burn all that shit down
Don't believe us? Well, I guess that's fine... you
Gonna fuck around and find out

Sandra Bland
Say their name, say their name
Breonna Taylor
Say their name, say their name
Say their name!
George Floyd
Say their name, say their name
Say their name!
Things are gonna change
Or end up in flames
Trayvon Martin
Say their name, say their name!
Johnathon Tubby
Say their name, say their name!
Tamir Rice
Say their name, say their name!
One way or another
Gonna make you feel our pain

Our trauma is generational
Let me help you understand
It all started when Columbus
First set foot on our land
The system ain't broken
It's working exactly as planned
The rich get richer and the
Poor be damned!
The system's killing us
Feeling beleaguered
The rich get richer
And our scraps are meager
Still I get up and go to work
Even though I'm not that eager
Cause the bills won't stop and the
Rent won't either
Wanna take a mental health day
But that's hard to explain
I'm not visibly sick
Though I still feel pain
Not a cloud in sight
And I still feel rain
Those who started the fire
Never wanna feel flames
Inequality will only grow
And it's making me sick
I gotta play a new show
But there ain't nobody
That can cover my shift
Maybe I should just not go
Even though I know it's gonna make 'em pissed

Sandra Bland
Say their name, say their name
Breonna Taylor
Say their name, say their name
Say their name!
George Floyd
Say their name, say their name
Say their name!
Things are gonna change
Or end up in flames
Trayvon Martin
Say their name, say their name!
Johnathon Tubby
Say their name, say their name!
Tamir Rice
Say their name, say their name!
One way or another
Gonna make you feel our pain

Open up your eyes
Open up your mind
You gonna be surprised
At the truth that you find
We gonna burn it all down
No more status quo
Guarantee... from the ashes
Something beautiful gonna grow

Yo
Open up your eyes
Open up your mind
You gonna be surprised
At the truth that you find
We gonna burn it all down
No more status quo
Guarantee... from the ashes
Something beautiful gonna grow

Sandra Bland
Say their name, say their name
Breonna Taylor
Say their name, say their name
Say their name!
George Floyd
Say their name, say their name
Say their name!
Things are gonna change
Or end up in flames
Trayvon Martin
Say their name, say their name!
Johnathon Tubby
Say their name, say their name!
Tamir Rice
Say their name, say their name!
One way or another
Gonna make you feel our pain
