Eight minutes, forty-six seconds That's how long a man knelt on another man's neck Suffocating, his voice croaking, "I can't breathe" Begging for his deceased mother (Moment of silence) Lay down a rose for me, would you? Light up a candle for me, could you? For George Floyd and all five of his children I hope that in paradise, he lives forever Lay down a rose for me, would you? Light up a candle for me, could you? For Breonna Taylor, all her aunts and all her uncles I hope that in paradise, she lives forever Lay down a rose for me, would you? Light up a candle for me, could you? For Ahmaud Arbery, both his father and his mother I hope that in paradise, he lives forever Lay down a rose for me, lay down a rose for me Lay down a rose for me, lay down a rose for me Lay down a rose for me, would you? I hope that this cycle don't last forever "But we cannot allow the righteous cries of peaceful protestors to be drowned out by an Angry mob" "The most peaceful day of protests" "Law and order" "Mounted police and the tear gas" "Security, not anarchy" (This is America, this is America) "Twenty-five minutes before that curfew" (This is America) "Dominate the streets" (This is America) "Shoving and hitting" (This is America) "Pay my respects to a very, very special place" (This is America) Home of the brave (Bunker boy) and the land of the free (Ameri-k-k-k-a) Peaceful protesters, D.C., Minneapolis To New York, everywhere, all getting apprehend Before the pallbearers could even put the casket in All for you to brag and boast and have a toast to your sacrilege Playing Catholic when you say two Corinthians Two Corinthians walk into a bar, ha ha ha If you spent one second, opened it up or read it You'd realize you're contradicting your own message "Whoever shuts their eyes to the cry of the poor Will also cry out and not be answered" I think you're scared by the depth and also the bandwidth Must be hard to sleep at night with the footsteps and the chanting It's why you ran to your bunker, you're frantic, you're pathetic We're never gonna let it go, no backstepping, just forget it You're lucky it's equality and not revenge that we're getting ("equality and not revenge") Cause vendetta sounds tempting when change takes a millennium
