Drea d'Nur:

Little Mahmoud

On his way to school

Uzi submachine guns

Boy don’t you move

Tore off his pack

Slipped on the cracks

Hands in the air

Bullet in his back

Chorus:

(screaming) mama please

I can’t breathe

Get these demons off of me

They got their knee on my neck

I’m on the ledge

Honey come home

Don’t fear their death

Border police

Dogs off the leach

Maria begging

No don’t take my Louis

Cold and afraid,

A kid in a cage

Gripping her scarf

Praying to be saved

Crying, mama please

I can’t breathe

Get these demons off of me

They got their knee on my neck

I’m on the ledge

Honey come home

Don’t fear their death

Jecorey 1200 Arthur:

George had a mama.

I think of Breonna.

She coulda' been one.

No. She shoulda' been one.

But instead of a mama,

She don' turned into a martyr.

We never chose these parents,

They turned me into a Arthur.

They got a knee on our neck. 

I got a foot on they neck. 

They gotta deal with a debt.

They gotta cut us a check. 

From Breonna's Law to Cariol's Law,

I dare you to draw, my area's raw.

Youngins can dream on from IMAN to beyond.

They must have forgotten everything we on.

We can't be sorry — Ali to Rami,

City was changed by a visit from Dalai.

Want me to suffer and scream for my mommy.

They must have forgotten everything I be.

I'ma descendant of slavery.

I'ma descendant of trauma.

I'ma descendant of Shonda.

That's my mama.

400 years. That's our trauma.

Millions of tears. That's my mama. 

400 years. That's our trauma.

Feelin' the fears. That's my mama.

400 years. That's our trauma.

Feelin' despair. That's my mama. 

400 years. That's our trauma.

Trillions repair. That's my mama. 

(screaming) mama please

I can’t breathe

Get these demons off of me

They got their knee on my neck

I’m on the ledge

Honey come home

Don’t fear their death
