[E] [C#m] [C#] Oh
Trying times [G#] all the time
[C#] Destruction of [C#m] minds bodies [G#m] and human rights stripped [C#m] of bloodlines whipped and confined.
This is [Gm] the American [E] pride
It's justifying a genocide
[C#] Romanticizing the theft and bloodshed that made [C#m] America the land of the free [B] to take a black life
Land of the free [C#m] to bring a gun [B] to a peaceful fight for [Gm] civil rights

We seek [B] justice.
We are past [F#m] fear
We are fed up [B] eating your shit because you think your so-called black friend
Validates your [F#m] wokeness and erases your racism that kind of [C#m] uncomfortable
Conversation is too [B] hard for your trust fund pockets to [D#] swallow [C#m] to swallow the [B] strange fruit hanging from my [C#m] family tree
Because of your [B] audacity to say all [F#m] men are created equal in the eyes of [E] God
But [C#m] disparage a man based on the color of [B] his skin
Do not [C#m] say you do not see [B] color when you see [C#m] us see us
