For Mr George Floyd and the countless others who have lost their lives to the bullshit, and for those pushing back.

All proceeds (for life) from this track will be donated to the NAACP, Black Lives Matter and related charities fighting for equality.

lyrics

Don’t you turn your back on me, brother I need your hand, stand right beside me arm in arm as we say their names. 

The silence has been deafening, the light’s been out for way too long. Let the fires burn through the night until the dawn brings us change

Ch- how many times? How many names? How many black lives will it take before you recognise your shame. 

Say their names. Say their names. Say their names. Say their names 

There’s boots on the ground, bullets piercing the air, but that has nothing on my daily fears. I’m black, I can breathe and standing up in their names.

I’ve never had to fear leaving my own home, running down the street or driving my car, I’m a white privileged male, and I’m standing up their names. 

Ch- how many times? How many names? How many black lives will it take before your recognise your shame. 

Say their names. Say their names. Say their names. Say their names 

The silence has been deafening, the light’s been out for way too long. Let the fires burn through the night until the dawn brings the change

Ch- how many times? How many names? How many black lives will it take before your recognise your shame. 

Say their names. Say their names. Say their names. Say their names
