America it's the land of free
Most have rights but they don't extend to me
Take our lives off in living rooms
Lay us in streets baking from sun to moon
Oh say can you see
They can tell us what to be
Dada da dah dada dada da dah
Oh say can you see
They can tell us what to be
Dada dah dah dah
America's found a new guillotine
A loaded gun in the hand of police
Broadcasted live, the truth is clear crystal
Our eyes are lying, that black man had a pistol
Oh say can you see
They can tell us what to be
Dada da dah dada dada da dah
Oh say can you see
They can tell us what to be
Dada dah dah dah
Divided states it's a mentality
Faking a blindness, ignoring brutality
Desensitized with every finger scroll
Numb to the horror, embrace the oncoming war
Don't look suspicious, Don't look... at all
State your # for the record
Don't make eye contact, Don't make... anything
State your # for record
No, No, No, No, No, remain calm
State your # for the record
Keep hand visible keep hands still
State your #, State your #
Oh say can you see
They can tell us what to be
Dada da dah dada dada da dah
Oh say can you see
They can tell us what to be
We are distracted
Lay on our backs and
Oh say can you see
They can tell us what to be
Hate is extracted
Time to react
