about

This was the single we released for our album. We wrote the lyrics shortly after the George Floyd murder. It was wrote at the height of civil unrest in this country. We are devastated by all of the murders of minorities in this country and we are trying to find a way to break the cycle. It is going to take work from you and I to stop this. We have to aggressively stand up to hatred and racism. There can be no tolerance of intolerance.

lyrics

Chaos on the streets for a Tragedy on Repeat
A familiar scene, one I’d like to delete
Another Black Man, killed in cold blood
By someone who took an oath to serve and protect

You have to GO! GO! GO! And get in their face
Make them understand we won’t tolerate hate
Never give up, never surrender
Treat every conversation as a life changer
Change hearts & minds, do whatever it takes

There’s a war going on, and the citizens are the pawns
Power players are foreign countries on the playing field of social media
What type of person thinks Black Lives Don’t Matter?
Think of all the lives racism has shattered

You have to GO! GO! GO! And get in their face
Make them understand we won’t tolerate hate
Never give up, never surrender
Treat every conversation as a life changer
Change hearts & minds, do whatever it takes
