I am afraid.
I am afraid for my brothers, sisters and future children.
All I ask from you is not to shoot.

Officer, our hands are up,
You better not shoot.
Officer , we cannot breathe,
Please do not shoot
Officer, there is no need

Why did you shoot?

Our hands were up
You pushed us down
and bound
our hands with metal cuffs
Face under boot
And
You still shoot?

why?

We did NOT resist.
But if you insist,
We will fight back
Back to back
Hand in hand
Held in the air
Don't you dare
Fucking shoot.

We will cuff ourselves
Arm linked in arm
We shall bare OUR arms
As we watch you bear yours,
Fearless we will stand
As we stand our ground.

We have remained silent
And you?,
Violent.
Our silence has been used against us
By your guns,
Your guns are silencers that cease our sound.
You want us silent,
But we will be loud.
Fuck your attorney, and fuck the constitution.
It was only designed to keep us in the institution

Land of the free?
Except for "we"
"We" is blacks
"We" are discriminated
"We" have NEVER been free.
However,
"We" are strong
We are bold
Home of the brave

Brave enough to shoot
Men
Brave enough to shoot children.
Brave enough to shoot women
Brave enough to not give a damn.

"We" are brave as well
"We" are brave enough to resist.
And "we" will continue to resist
So long as "we" are a majority against you,
The minority

"We" will not be silenced
"We" will stand hand in hand
Many nations, under God
Indivisible
Wanting liberty and justice
For "we" too
"We" is blacks.
