As I stand…white against blue for black

Against the corrupt system, the oppression.

My brothers and sisters, that bleed the same colors

The hatred so deep, like a knife -

Cutting the soul that can never -

Be brought back, what that was taken.

By a knee, by a gun…a life that was not yours.

All is seen now the color red…for the blood, the hatred, the sin.

You have brought this, this unrest.

You have brought this, this rise.

You have brought this, this unjust.

You will reap what you sow…
