chris mallett - see my people die lyrics

chorus: chris mallett
tryin’ so hard not to cry as i see my people die
everybody asking why knowin’ it ain’t right
to see my people die
see my people die

verse 1: chris mallett
d-mn, it’s starting to feel like every week
we’ve got a reason to be outraged, a new name to tweet
as i ride the bus, i’m tryin’a hide my face
as tears swell in my eyes as the video plays
a black brother gunned down, a sister’s face shoved in the ground
and these are just the stories that are reported about
we’ve had enough; we’ve reached the boiling point now
lookin’ high and low for justice in places it doesn’t exist
because the truth is: the system wasn’t built for it
we’re ready to push back
racism’s not permanent but a challenge
and i’ll be d-mned if i sit around and wait as my people’s lives hang in the balance

prechorus: chris mallett
my people let’s unify
we can attack goliath from every side
and reach back as we keep pushing forward
we just want our people to live lives as full as the others

chorus: chris mallett and b.eazey
tryin’ so hard not to cry (not to cry)
as i see my people die (see my people die)
everybody asking why knowin’ it ain’t right
to see my people die
see my people die

verse 2: b.eazey
christlike, how my people crucified, and
unfortunately like christ we try to unify
with those that treat us worse than animals, being euthanized
first they negate our minds, and then they scrutinize
everywhere we go people see us and wanna supervise
sometimes we feel like we at war, and it’s do or die
prayin’ when you start your day, hopin’ you survive
life as an endangered species, the stress super-sized
still i hope and i pray for a brighter day
sometimes i feel like it’s coming, but there’s a slight delay
the chosen ones like christ they slay
hope they blessed for the price they paid
one more thing: cherish your life, and ‘ey

prechorus: chris mallett
my people let’s unify
we can attack goliath from every side
and reach back as we keep pushing forward
we just want our people to live lives as full as the others

bridge: chris mallett
it could be my brother
it could be my mother
i’ve got a college degree
but it doesn’t even matter
it could be me
it can be me
please, don’t let it be me

chorus: chris mallett
tryin’ so hard not to cry as i see my people die
everybody asking why knowin’ it ain’t right
tryin’ so hard not to cry as i see my people die
everybody asking why knowin’ it ain’t right
tryin’ so hard not to cry as i see my people die
everybody asking why knowin’ it ain’t right
tryin’ so hard not to…
