歌词
We can’t march, we can’t kneel
Always telling us how we should feel
When we protest, you say we complain
While injustice still remains
Is it right to say we’re wrong?
Then you don’t want to hear about it in my songs
Some don’t want to hear what I got to say
What I’m gonna do right now, y’all
Shut up and play
They want me to shut up and play
No forty acres for my family
That America promised us when they set us free
May my ancestors guide my path
Cause we don’t want to see another bloodbath
But for now things remain the same
Our lives don’t mean much in this systematic game
Would you trade places with me today?
What I’m gonna do right now
I’m gonna shut up and play
I’m gonna shut up and play
Black Lives Matter to you, too
‘Cause we’re the people that sure ‘nuff got the blues
Four hundred years of nothing but lies
Too many names, too many died
Love is a feeling, truth is healing
We all should be tired of this double dealing
Someone don’t want to hear what I got to say
What I’m gonna do right now
Shut up and play
I’m gonna shut up and play
