lyrics

When a traffic stop is another death sentence
When a wellness check is another loss of life

What crime, can they commit
What crime, they won't acquit
There's no avoiding causing unintended violence
When seeing another murder is met with silence

Hiding behind your faith
The state won't keep you safe

Trickle-down qualified immunity
Benefits from police brutality
Show the way, be the role model
Held in place by white supremacy

A failing mental health does not mean blood
A mass shooter exempted from above

Congress is an accomplice
To criminals wearing a badge
Congress is an accomplice
To home grown terrorists

When the same crime has a different punishment
When the bias of a judge means life or death

What crime, can they commit
What crime, they won't acquit
There's no avoiding causing unintended violence
When seeing another murder is met with silence

Hiding behind your faith
The state won't keep you safe

Trickle-down qualified immunity
Benefits from police brutality
Show the way, be the role model
Held in place by white supremacy

A failing mental health does not mean blood
A mass shooter exempted from above

This goes both ways, don't be afraid to use your weight
You didn't ask for privilege but you better use it
The past repeats because no one wants to abuse it

This goes both ways, don't be afraid to use your weight
There's already blood on these hands
We've already stained this land

Blood on these hands

No one is above you, above me
No one's standing on your dreams
Above you, above me
Standing side by side we're free
