about

For all the fallen victims of police brutality and antiblack violence.

lyrics

(Verse 1)
He was alive for just a few days
But he scared someone
at the park with his little toy gun
Little baby boy and a threat
Yeah we cry for him
But we don’t have many tears left

(Chorus)
Woah! How long must we sing these songs?
(repeat)

(Chant)
No it won’t stop because we’re upset
And it won’t stop because of our fear
No it won’t stop until we repent of all the black bodies broken ‘round here

(Verse 2)
She was alive for just a few days
Tore the world apart with the broke light on the back of her car
Mortal sin that leadeth to death
Yeah we cry for her
But we don’t have many tears left

(Chorus)
Woah! How long must we sing these songs?
(repeat)

(Chant)
No it won’t stop because we’re upset
And it won’t stop because of our fear
No it won’t top because we need rest
No it won’t stop because of our tears
No it won’t stop until we confess all the blood that we spill around here
No it won’t stop until we repent of all the black bodies broken ‘round here

All the Black bodies broken round here
All the Black bodies broken round here
No it won't stop until we repent of all the Black bodies broken round here

won’t stop because we’re upset
won’t stop because of our fear
won’t top because we need rest
won’t stop because of our tears
won’t stop until we confess all the blood that we spill around here
won’t stop until we repent of all the black bodies broken ‘round here

(Chorus)
