Protest

What do we say to our children when They ask us how to fight injustice After we mourn those who were taken How do we heal from all the anguish Now we may feel as if nothing we do To really change the world That it is what it is But if we can make even the slightest difference Well maybe we can leave a better place in which to live Well, if we don't address what's happening, we can't progress No There's been too much bloodshed. Too much violence. We must protest Yeah Show me no favor And I will show you no discrimination I might never live in the world I hope for But I hope to die in a different one Well, if we don't address what's happening, we can't progress No There's been too much bloodshed. Too much violence. We must protest Yeah Change ain't coming if we don't keep The pressure on and continue flooding these streets The flames ain't done until they done reached The summit of the system made to keep minorities weak The system that protects the knees of police But not the necks trying to breath underneath And if we're just going by complexion, you can bet The darker that you are the more a target you will be But that can be rearranged in The timespan of a single generation And museums in the future will explain how we overcame All the pain and finally healed a nation Well, if we don't address what's happening, we can't progress No There's been too much bloodshed. Too much violence. We must protest Yeah Well, if we don't address what's happening, we can't progress No There's been too much bloodshed. Too much violence. We must protest Yeah We must protest We must We must protest We must We must protest
