Say Their Names Lyrics - Artist : Devvon Terrell
We begin this week with so much emotion and unrest all across the country.
No justice, no peace. We want everybody to see this, yeah Standin' together, no more secrets, yeah Lift every voice and we won't quit, yeah No justice, no peace, defeat, now we Stand with [?] Who we got to protect and serve our women and our children? Put in public housing, ain't no privilege in them buildings It's a one in a million chance for my skin tone to make a million The pain that we endure, they can't ignore 'cause they gon' feel it Fuck your feelings I matter (he matters) I matter (she matters) I matter (they matter) I matter (I matter) I matter (he matters) I matter (she matters) I matter (they matter) I matter We need change, we need somethin' They killin' us out in public They talk about it in media But still ain't brought us justice We opened up the discussion Haters steadily floodin' We protest until they sentence The officers that have done it Okay Black man gettin' money, yeah they hate to see me winnin', yeah They killin' off my people but get mad when we get sick of it Them niggas are villainous, only after us 'cause they envious A black king, tell the other side they ain't endin' us For George Floyd, we at they neck literally For Ahmaud Arbery, we gon' jog they memory For Brianna, we gon' do this tailor-made For the world, we gon' make 'em say our names Why are people so intimidated by black men? Please don't tell me that you have black friends Police out here feelin' they invincible Do killings that's convictable Keep gettin' away with murder 'cause they can, it's despicable I matter (he matters) I matter (she matters) I matter (they matter) I matter (I matter) I matter (he matters) I matter (she matters) I matter (they matter) I matter (we matter) This is a coordinated activity happening across this nation. And so we are in a state of emergency. Black people are dying. In a state of emergency. This is not a drill They think their skin is the right to kill They'll uphold human rights So human life [?] to steal They bein' ruthless, actin' stupid so let's start the dumbing George called for his mom You gotta know his brothers and sisters comin' [?] We've no choice but bein' independent If you can't see how it really be Take a moment and feel some empathy and sing with me Enough is enough. And we are not responsible for the mental illness that has been inflicted upon our people by the American government, institutions, and those people who are in positions of power. I don't give a damn if they burn down Target. Because Target should be on the streets with us. |
