More of us need to be there Because we need to be defending our Movement There's more of us than them So what the hell are you afraid of There's more of us than them We can put tens of thousands We can put hundreds of thousands of People into the streets But let's put 'em in the streets Let's put 'em in the goddamn streets Cause that's the only way we gonna stop these pigs We ain't gonna stop them by prayin' We ain't gonna stop them by beggin' And we ain't gonna stop them by talkin' doody We gotta put People in the streets We gotta keep this Rebellion going This is not no time to slow down This the time to pick shit up Let's get started We are coming Hands up don't shoot You are in violation of Minneapolis curfew Please disperse or you will be arrested Hands up please don't shoot me Hands up please don't shoot me Hands up please don't shoot me Hands up Hit the gas Hit the gas Hit the gas Hit the gas Yeah, look, uh Hit the gas I’m geared and I’m war ready Focused on all of the things that they said that we couldn’t do Take your minerals They shoot at my People like they thought these niggas was bulletproof uh I got a target on my head But I’m still out in them streets Ten toes down Who want the beef Beef with the government til they ain’t sleep ugh We are products of Royalty No ignoring me History on your hands That made the Hundreds bleed Wake up keep all your stimulus pay stubs We move with the Mass then we shake some We want the Change tell 'em pay up This is the Protesters’ Anthem The new National Anthem Hit the gas All real Patriots, stand up Hit the gas It’s time to do our fuckin’ job Hit the gas Hit the gas Hit the gas For those of you sitting atop your thrones made of bones In your glass castles, watching us Peasants fortify in the streets and the shadows Right now would be a good time to decide on which side your loyalties lie Because you sure as f*ck can’t keep hiding from what’s happening outside No Justice No Peace No Justice No Peace No Justice No Peace No Justice No Peace Black Lives Matter Black Lives Matter Black Lives Matter Black Lives Matter Black Lives Matter Black Lives Matter Oh my god I got chills this looks so good No Justice No Peace No Justice No Peace No Justice No Peace No Justice No Peace No Justice No Peace No Justice No Peace No Justice No Peace This is their war and we just want Peace This is their war and we're the enemies but This is their war and we just want Peace This is their war and we're the enemies but This is their war and we just want Peace This is their war and we're the enemies but This is their war and we just want Peace This is their war and we're the enemies but No Justice No Peace This is the Protesters’ Anthem Hit the gas The new National Anthem Hit the gas All real Patriots, stand up Hit the gas It’s time to do our fuckin’ job Hit the gas Hit the gas Hit the gas No more Patients No more waitin' The world full of hate I can’t escape What can we do when they hatin' Change it The world don’t even look the same no more Too much blood been spilled on the floor To them we're thugs and we want the war Lies That be the shit we despise That’s how we look in they eyes Wow Y’all be the ones that’s pointin' them guns Listen for the cry out I go hard every day for my Sisters and Brothers Dream of days where they won’t hate us for our skin color This is the Protesters’ Anthem The new National Anthem All real Patriots stand up It’s time to do our fuckin’ job Hit the gas Ideas are bulletproof and like Legends never die We stand here in the Legacy of the Dream The Dream that Dr. King lifted up That Whitney Young pushed for That Mattie Jones fought for That my grandad Lindsay E. Hearn Sr. demanded We're here today because we know that Dream is not done Because although they marched for us then The cries we're hearing across the country right now From Kenosha to Kentucky From the hood where I'm from To the hollers in Appalachia To everywhere in between Those cries let us know we have more marching to do And it is in this moment where we must rise up Together Because listen we are built for this moment We are on the shoulders of Giants But we must step off of those shoulders and lead ourselves We are the Dream but we must turn that Dream into demands Demands for Real Justice Demands for Humanity Demands for Accountability Demands for an End to poverty Demands for an End to racism And I am a living witness As the youngest Black state legislator in Kentucky since the first one And yes I did stand up and run against Mitch McConnell I am a personal witness that we are ready for this moment We're built for the work we must do And if we come Together All of us If we Stand United If we March Together If we Bend that Arc Together There is nothing we can't do There is no mountain we can't move And there is no root of racism we cannot pull up So we gotta do it right now We gotta do it yesterday so we definitely gotta do it now And I stand here as a young man in the Legacy of a Giant, Congressman John Lewis Who said 57 years ago some words that still ring True right now We have to re-lift our voices Together and say to America Wake up Wake up America Because we can't stop We cannot quit And we cannot be patient Let's win Together Let's fight Together Let's Transform our Future All Power to the People All Power to the People All Power to the People All Power to the People I said all Power to the People All Power to the People We meant it then and we mean it now And another world is possible Yes it is possible to legislate Justice and Accountability People over profits Joy over trauma Freedom over fear Yes it is possible to write budgets that actually value Black Lives If it feels unfamiliar that's because it has never been done in America We will meet the Moment We will work toward Healing, Justice, and Collective Liberation Like our Lives depend on it because they do We will March on Clear in our Conviction, Rooted in our Faith Grounded in our History, Intentional as we Build Let me make it plain Black Lives Matter All Power to the People All Power to the People All Power to the People All Power to the People I said all Power to the People All Power to the People We are coming
