Humanity

How many steps 'til the marching is over?
How many chants 'til the fight is won?
How many buildings have to smolder?
How many signs 'til you read the right one?

How many ways must we ask for justice?
We just want peace, but you're waging war
So many ways you've tried to break us
My soul is tired, can take it no more

How many days left of pain and anger?
How many times do we say we can't breathe?
How long 'til our lives are out of danger?
What will it take for us to really live free?

How many ways do we explain
That shit is real until you feel our pain?
How many ways do we explain
That shit is real until you feel our pain?

How many ways do we explain
That shit is real until you feel our pain?
How many ways do we explain
That shit is real until you feel our pain?

Shame on you for needing so damn much
Shame on you for needing so damn much
Shame on you for needing so damn much
For you to see my humanity
