JOE BUDDEN REMIXED BEYONCÉ'S ‘FREEDOM’ FOR A NEW PROTEST SONG

Key Lyrics

Sandra Bland didn't come off as suicidal to me

Y'all play around, thinkin' we on safe ground

They killed Tamir Rice and his rights, right on that playground

Eric was selling cigarettes, "I can't breathe," it was said

The bigger threat he was a nigga, I bet, but listen

Last year I went to church with my Mother Fay

We sat behind Ms. Garner, and it was Mother's Day

She sat strong, inside I cried for her

My eyes tucking the water as I was hugging his daughter...

Philando Castillo told him he had a weapons permit

Was murdered moments after without a complexion permit

That's bloodshed with his daughter in the car

I'm only upset for our sons and daughters tomorrow

Question, how many cities we gotta march through?

Signs we gotta hold up, or are they tryna provoke us ? Cause when them 9s load up, and land mines blow up

And the crime don't slow up, they'll chime in and say they told us

Or is it only a crime when done by poor us

Food for thought, my mind don't run off of cold cuts

Raw and evident, Alton was offed, heaven sent

Recorded the negligence, they just ignore the evidence

And make it seem as if we in y'all way

Maybe our government is governed by the NRA

That would make a diseased Capitol, in need of capital

They even legalized weed for the Capitol

But be black, sell in the street, they get mad at you

Casually clap at you, it's Uncle Sam sayin' taxes due

Our epidemic systemic [1]

Black Empowerment
