Fast Asleep (Breonna)

Wrong time, wrong place,

More like wrong skin, wrong face.

When you can’t protect yourself from the

Ones who keep us safe…

Fast asleep in the middle of the night

Just a blue glow, coming from the window.

I hope it was a good show.

Fast asleep in the middle of the night

Now a big blow coming through the front door.

And nowhere to go.

Oh Breonna you know it's such a shame,

Now we all know your name.

But no one wants this fame.

Oh Breonna, this world is so unjust

You know you took the fall for us.

Oh your death won't be forgotten,

But that doesn't seem enough.

So shots fired in the middle of the night,

One is black and one is white.

And no one to see who was right,

So you know who always wins.

Blood on the floor and blood in the streets,

Hands tied and shackles on feet.

The people cry mercy, they never retreat,

It’s a war that never ends.

Oh Breonna, they killed you much too young,

Oh your life had just begun, and you're not the only one.

Oh Breonna, you know it's such a shame

Now we all know your name.

Oh but no one wants this fame.

We’re slowly waking up,

Opening the cuts,

Oh and these bandages don’t last too long when they’ve soaked up that much blood.

And aint it crazy though, at some point down the line,

Assuming you were fine,

You might have been the first one on the scene to save their life...
