“Born as bombs drop Praying the gun will stop From Freddie gray to Sean bell With unspoken words to tell Now, we live in fear Now, we don’t smile when the police are near Now, you sit and wait your turn Now, you’re no longer here to learn. Based on bloodshed, bones, and breasts You’re taught to keep it repressed Now, it’s the man’s “right” to grab and caress Now, it only matters if you’re the best dressed Now, “school will take care of the rest” No. Now, it’s the time to protest. No. Now, it’s the time to look and detest No. Now, they’re the ones you’re against Now? We are the generation, and it’s time to represent.”
