Pain is what I hear
Pain is what I see
Pain is how I feel
When I see a black man, lying dead on a street

This Pain is all around
As if it's a routine
To see a cop shoot a man
Who said "I can't breath."

I wish it would stop
I wish it would end
All the pain has me thinking
Am I going to die next?

It hurts to see them wail
It hurts to see them cry
It hurts to see a family
See their loved one die

Will it ever stop?
Will they ever quit?
Once it happens to them,
Then I guess that's it.
