To be black has been a sin
For centuries we suffered because of the color of our skin
When will it ever stop?
Our brothers and sisters being victimized by the cops
Have our lives become so worthless?
For us to be so brutally murdered
Im black and Im human too
I love, dream and have meaning too
Why should I be a white man's threat?
I watched him put his knee on my african brother's neck
How he begged for his life, until his last breath
I believe one day we will be one in many ways
And love each other as a united human race

How he begged for his life, until his last breath
I believe one day we will be one in many ways
And love each other as a united human race
