lyrics

Today's another day, my brother passes away
He wasn't on the attack, just breathin' while bein' black
Cops say they saw somethin', somethin' was really nothin'
So on the force they stay, paid leave to go vacay,
No who/what/when/where or why'n

My people are dyin'
Why are you still lyin'
Pavement to the grave, you'll always be a slave
Why are we still tryin'

Our children won't be goodie, dress suit tie or hoodie
Hands up and keep cool, won't bring them home to you
Raise your voice in their face, they wanna keep you in place
The blue knows that they're wrong, been doin' it for so long
Black souls for sale, they're buyin'

My people are dyin'
Why are you still lyin'
Pavement to the grave, you'll always be a slave
Why are we still tryin'

You better hope equality is still the goal
The day will come where you take our last soul
Folks ain't gonna tolerate this bs that much more
Justice will get served and those who can't hang get out the door

My people are dyin'
Why are you still lyin'
Pavement to the grave, you'll always be a slave
Why are we still tryin'

My people are dyin'
They'll continue to keep dyin'
I'm afraid to have a son, cause he'll be gone from your gun
And I'll be the one cryin', while you'll be the one thrivin'

My people are dyin'
My people are dyin'
