America
Beautiful black bodies
Swinging on a tree
Like it’s 1933 Billie holiday
Would think it’s Strange
how something Could still be
And the blue man Went and
killed the Angel with
his knee While his begging
Him to breathe
You all look away
forget their names but
I still hear their pleas
And the kids started
marching In the street
Nooo justice noooo peace met
With tear gas bombs and
Long batons but there’s no
Stopping them
And the blue men
Kick us while we’re falling
To our knees
And their Watching us bleed
King would think its sad how
Free at last was just a wild dream
Malcom wouldnt be so shocked to see that we're still here today
