lyrics

The Callous Death of George Floyd

They had you on the ground / Their knee on your neck
I can’t breathe / I can’t breathe
Picked you up on a minor racket
I can’t breathe / I can’t breathe

With swagger and scorn / Another black man lynched
In plain view / In plain view
Riots in the streets / Minneapolis in flames
In plain view / In plain view

George Floyd, George Floyd
Being black you annoyed them, George Floyd

Too many cops with hate / Use their power to kill
Unarmed and black / Unarmed and black
Two things you don’t / Ever want to be
Unarmed and black / Unarmed and black

George Floyd, George Floyd
Being black you annoyed them, George Floyd

The president speaks and divides us further
As we cry / as we cry
A nation in pain and unwilling to change
As we die / as we die

George Floyd
George Floyd
They crushed you like a toy
Like a thrill to enjoy
Another black life destroyed
Will justice be employed
Will there soon be another
George Floyd
