Remember my name
We are ostracized
We are dehumanized
I bleed just how you bleed
When I cry, I have tears in my eyes
For once would you just look at me
They yell “Mistake Mistake”
You need to call us by our names
Looking for justice where there is only Hate
I break and break,
I crumble into paste
As you kneel on top me
“Mistake Mistake”
You need to call us by our names
For once would you just look at me
We will no longer break
Or crumble into paste
This time you'll see what I see
When George Flloyd died
We had to take on this man's legacy
This is your last mistake
Say our names
I pray for a better society
