Ashes to Ashes Dust to Dust,

Bang Bang

Another brother down on the ground, and a sister died in her own bed

What's the fuss

It's just us

Dead too soon in a pool of blood

Shot in the back for being black or a knee on your neck

What the heck , imagine that, if he wasn't Black

Let's all take a knee, so we can Breath

Bang Bang

Ashes to Ashes dust to dust

What's the fuss, it's just us

It's Black vs Blue, who knew

He's just another Brother and now sisters too.

He is someone's Father, Son, Brother, and Uncle

They are Killing us, where is the Justice

Where does this end, this is a sin

Living in a world of Hate, Hurting our Asians too,

It's Not just the boys in Blue, it's you too.

It's not too late

Stop the Hate

Dying for the wrong cause

Take a Pause

Wake up, stay woke, don't trip and fall, it's one for all

Bang Bang, too late

You're Dead
