When American people say its disrespectful to the flag When our athletes protest by kneeling I wonder how will this nation respond to the murder Of an innocent black man begging, “officer please, I can’t breathe?” Imagine a day when a black man won’t have to wonder If he will return home safe from jogging A day when the law that swore to serve and protect him Will stop looking the other way to protect the men who lynched him That’s why we stand up (Stand up) Stand up (Stand up) Stand up for black lives So we stand up (Stand up) Our hand up (Hand up) For those who lost their life One love, one voice, united we all stand We will stand up (stand up) Stand up (Stand up) Up for those who can’t One day a black nurse will feel safe coming home After a long day caring for her patients She will be able to Rest In Peace in the comfort of her own bed In a future where police officers are held accountable for their actions But until then innocent citizens continue to Live in fear every day Because the world doesn’t listen when a black mother cries for her baby No, what the world hears are the politicians who open their wallets And thank corrupt police officers for their service That’s why we stand That’s why we stand up (Stand up) Stand up (Stand up) Stand up for black lives So we stand up (Stand up) Our hand up (Hand up) For those who lost their life Say their names: George Floyd Rodney King Ahmaud Arbery Treyvon Martin Breonna Taylor Eric Garner Tamir Rice Freddie Gray Yvette Smith Michael Brown Tanisha Anderson Sandra Bland Philando Castile Michael Dean And countless others That’s why we stand up (Stand up) Stand up (Stand up) Stand up for black lives So we stand up Our hand up Hand up For those who lost their life Stand up (Stand up)
