lyrics

There were riots in the street
Tear gas and violence
All over a 20 $ bill
Leaving a daughter without her father
A true measure of a man
When he says “I can’t breath” and you double down
With a knee on his neck he says
“you can talk, you can breath”
And they played it back on T.V.
Eyes open
Mouth hanging
Do you believe what you see?

So will you push back? Or just sit outside and eat brunch
Bombs burst in the air
You take a picture and find a perfect filter
If you’re not mad
You’re not paying attention
If you’re not with us, you’re against us!

How can you sit back and watch as another unarmed black man is murdered in cold blood
I will not be complicit (no I will not)

History repeats itself
What side do you stand on
We are not hearded sheep
Silence is where the dead men sleep
Deeply systemic
It’s not for your aesthetic

History repeats itself
What side do you stand on
(It’s not for your aesthetic, it’s so pathetic)

What side do you stand on

Oh I will not be complicit
Oh I will not be complicit

No I won’t
