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?
