How Do We Heal (feat. Bryce The Third) [Live at Wonky Power]

Alton, Philando, Trayvon, Tamir

We love you

we miss you

We wish you were here

Charleena, Sandra, Breonna, Korryn

We'll say your names til we get to see you again

I can't feel safe in my own home

Can't put no hoodie on when it gets cold A new threat every day no big wow

I don't how I'm supposed to feel now

How do we heal from this

How do we heal

They keep on breaking us

Like we can't feel

We've all been shouting out

Since Emmett Till

How do we heal from this

How do we heal

(Repeat everything from the beginning)

Say Their Names

Say Their Names

Say Their Names

Say Their Names

How do we heal from this

How do we heal

They keep on breaking us

Like we can't feel

We've all been shouting out

Since Emmett Till

How do we heal from this

How do we heal

How do we heal?

I don't have the answer to this question

as I'm still figuring it out myself.

Where do we even start?

How do we heal if we are still experiencing trauma on a daily basis?

Something's gotta shake.

That something has to be us.

We've gotta continue to speak up and act against racism, discrimination, and unjust treatment of any and all human beings.

Black lives matter, Black lives matter, Black lives matter!

I say it three times because I'm the 3rd,

But we gon keep saying it until it's heard.

And I ain't talking about the hear you hear with your ears,

I'm speaking of the volumes the speak to your soul,

And resonate with your heart.

The longer I live, the more I realize there are no isolated incidents.

Most of this is systemic. The foundation was laid down incorrectly.

So, now it's time for us to correct it.

It was never great, you can't resurrect it

And this is the work we can't accomplish separate.

We must work connected,

Until love is what we're left with.
