When I was a kid, I saw on TV, the police beat down Rodney King
Resisting arrest is what they said he did
I was a young boy with brown skin
Now I see on my Twitter feed, Black men getting killed by police
They say they were resisting arrest
It's been going on for so damn long, racisms in our nation's song
It's been going on for so damn long, can't we all just get along
Abraham Lincoln proclaimed emancipation
It cost six hundred thousand lives and tore apart our nation
For that he got a bullet in his head
Martin Luther King protested peacefully
To end racial injustice, bring forth equality
For that he got a bullet in his head
Now Colin Kaepernick decides to quietly sit
And the internet has an epic hissy fit
For doing that they want a bullet in his head
It's been going on for so damn long, racisms in our nation's song
It's been going on for so damn long, can't we all just get along
Obedience to authority means more than equality
That's what our history keeps telling me
Obedience to authority means more than equality
That's what our history keeps telling me
Obedience to authority means more than equality
That's what our history keeps telling me
It's time our nation has an honest conversation
Ignorance and hate has been taught for generations
Riots will erupt, unless we make a change
We're sitting on a powder keg chain smoking
It's been going on for so damn long, racisms in our nation's song
It's been going on for so damn long, can't we all just get along
