about

this is Amrit's response to the murder of George Floyd, and the countless other Black and Brown bodies that have fallen to police brutality.

lyrics

#GeorgeFloyd, #sayhisname
you’ve made a mockery of me
and i survived
your judgement.

i have always
believed in justice
but i don’t believe
that justice is relative.

we all know
we all know
there’s only one truth
about us
there’s only one truth
about us

and that means
there’s really only one story
to be told
about #GeorgeFloyd
about #GeorgeFloyd

#SayHisName
#SayHisName

#SayHisName
#SayHisName

oh, whoa

and then one day
in the broad daylight
this shithead for a cop
decided to take his life

this shithead of a cop
decided to play God
with his Gun and his Knee
to play God
with his Gun and his Knee

‘cause but for your weapon
all the bystanders around you
would have taken you down
before you
forced george floyd
to take his last breath
screaming for his ma-ma
screaming for his ma-ma

oh, whoa

and you’re gonna sit there and ask me
really you’re gonna ask me
why they’re rioting tonight
are you really gonna ask me
why?

the riot’s the least we could do.
the riot’s the least we could do.
in the face of
in the face of
such heavy-handed violence

but George Floyd
did not deserve to die.
