PROTEST CHANT:
Reparation’s what we stand for!
Reparation’s what we stand for!
Investment’s what we stand for!
Investment’s what we stand for!
Power’s what we stand for!
Power’s what we stand for!
Black lives, Black lives!
Black lives, Black lives!
Community’s what we stand for!
Community’s what we stand for!
Economy’s what we stand for!
Economy’s what we stand for!
Now it’s time to end this war!
Now it’s time to end this war!
On Black lives, Black lives!
On Black lives, Black lives!
Black lives, Black lives!
Black lives, Black lives!
Black lives, Black lives!
Black lives, Black lives!
Now it’s time to end this war!
Now it’s time to end this war!
On Black lives, Black lives!
On Black lives, Black lives!
I could use a little grace
That’s what she said to me
As tears rolled down her face
They took my son, they took my daughter,
Took my home, they took my faith
But who’s the ‘they’ do you suppose?
Dressed up in cash and prisons
Shielded from the cold
While she grows weak and
And hearts grow heavy
Some grow angry
I grow bold
I kneel, I stand up
I hold my hands up
Hold my demands up
As the vision for my life
Let the world bear witness
That we all are in this
In love, not vengeance
And we’re running out of time
The bridge gets wider every day
We press for dignity for all, we march for change
But while our streets are fields of battle
We must bow before we play
We kneel, we stand up
We hold our hands up
Hold our demands up
As the vision for our lives
Let the world bear witness
That we all are in this
In love, not vengeance
And we’re running out of time
[CHANT]
I kneel, I stand up
I hold my hands up
Hold my demands up
As the vision for my life
We kneel, we stand up
We hold our hands up
Hold our demands up
As the vision for our lives
Let the world bear witness
That we all are in this
In love, not vengeance
And we’re running out of time
