"American Reckoning"

 America's on fire 
 There's protests in the street
 Her conscience has been looted
 And her soul is under siege
 Another mother's crying
 As history repeats
 I can't breathe

 God damn those eight long minutes
 Lying face-down in cuffs on the ground
 Bystanders pleaded for mercy
 As one cop shoved a kid in the crowd
 When did a judge and a jury
 Become a badge and a knee
 On these streets?

 Stay alive, stay alive
 Shine a light, stay alive
 Use your voice and you remember me
 American reckoning

 I'll never know what it's like
 To walk a mile in his shoes
 And I'll never have to have the talk
 So it don't happen to you

 Three little words written 'cross the chest
 Of a twelve-year-old who hasn't lived life yet
 "Am I next?" "Am I next?"

 Stay alive, stay alive
 Shine a light, stay alive
 Use your voice and you remember me
 American reckoning

 Is this a moment or movement?
 Is this the tide or a flood?
 Is our American reckoning
 Our story written in blood?
 Or in love?
 Or in peace?

 Stay alive, stay alive
 Shine a light, stay alive
 Use your voice and you remember me

 Stay alive, stay alive
 Shine a light, stay alive
 Use your voice and you remember me
 American reckoning
 In our American reckoning

Sounds like a nigger lover to me, too bad he hasn't got the balls to take the Jews to task for attacking the US Sept 11, 2001.
