Moxy Hunter - Say Their Name Lyrics

Let's set the stage right
It's 1960s Civil Rights
I don't know if I leave my house
If I'll make it back alive
Getting Brutalized
Chewed Alive
My hands are up, but I guess this is how the Martyrs die

Can we get justice
With no more lies
Fair Trails, no more jail time
We'll fight cause they were brave
We'll fight and say their names

Rose Parks helped start the spark
While Ruby Bridges warmed all of our hearts
Medgar Evers was next, shot dead
Like King, they pumped him full of lead

We will always be indebted
We will learn from their lessons
We just need some understanding
Can we get understanding please
Can we just get a little understanding

It's present day now
Has anything really changed
Names like Trayvon Martin fill my screen, every single day
And names like Bland, and Castile, so sad
They paved the way so now we bow and say their names

Can we get justice
With no more lies
Fair Trails, no more jail time
We'll fight cause they were brave
We"ll fight and say their names
