In the land of Minnesota on the 25th of May
Big George Floyd, shoved like a toy into the pavement of our street
Into the pavement of our street

Three coppers kept him planted face down
Held with all their weight
And one sick fool with his big black boots
Put George's neck to the ground with his knee
Neck to the ground with his knee

"Get up, get up and get in the car"
The officer screamed while he slayed
If Mr. Floyd really had a choice then why is
He lying dead in his grave? Then why is
He lying dead in his grave?

If he's murdered cold in the country he's birthed
This ain't no land of the brave
The president wants war, George only wanted more
Air for his freedom to breathe
'Cause we've all got a right to breathe

We the People will take control
To seize a Modern Way
Where the next George Floyd won't still be flippin' coins
For life or death each day
Against those blue boys that we all pay

"Get up, get up and get in the car"
The officer screamed while he slayed
If Mr. Floyd really had a choice then why is
He lying dead in his grave? Then why is
He lying dead in his grave?
