America's on fire There's protests in the street Her conscience has been looted And her soul is under siege Another mother's crying, as history repeats I can't breathe
God damn those 8 long minutes Lying face down in cuffs on the ground Bystanders pleaded for mercy As one, cop shoved a kid in the crowd When did a judge and a jury Become a badge and a knee On these streets?
Stay alive, stay alive Shine a light, stay alive Use your voice and you remember me American reckoning
I'll never know what it's like To walk a mile in his shoes And I'll never have to have the talk So it don't happen to you Three little words written 'cross the chest Of a twelve year old who hasn't lived life yet "Am I next? Am I next?"
Stay alive, stay alive Shine a light, stay alive Use your voice and you remember me American reckoning
Is this a moment or movement? Is this the tide or a flood? Is our American reckoning? Our story written in blood Or in love Or in peace
Stay alive, stay alive Shine a light, stay alive Use your voice and you remember me
Stay alive, stay alive Shine a light, stay alive Use your voice and you remember me American reckoning In our American reckoningTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
