About the twin pandemics of COVID-19 & police brutality

lyrics

They’ve all been woken from their sleep
with no alarm clocks on repeat.
There’s another hashtag on my feed,
somebody son shot in the street.
And I know, I know, I know who’s next-
a little piece of all of us, just one breath.

And I came here, to bear a message:
Black lives are so precious,
So good they can’t stand it.
And I know it’s hard to believe,
when the world leaves you & me
so breathless. So-

They’ve all been woken from their sleep
with no alarm clocks on repeat.
There’s another hashtag on my feed,
somebody son shot in the street.
And I know, I know, I know who’s next-
a little piece of all of us, just one breath.

And I came here, to bear a message:
Red lives are so precious,
So good they can’t stand it.
And I know it’s hard to believe,
when the world leaves you & me
so breathless. So-
