We have a problem!!
From salvery to "I can't breathe,"
Livin in the shadows too long
Comin out to sing our song
"Why!"
Now we protesting and rioting

The color of my skin is not a weapon
It's just my prized possession
But under oppression
I will NOT be silenced
Nor will I use violence

Power to the people who are under pressure.
NO JUSTICE, NO PEACE!
Just don't bring out the beast.
We are black children of God.
Trying to become all we can be.

It's a troubled situation that we are in.
You started a war you cannot win.
Change doesn't happen without destruction.
But it's necessary for our reconstruction.
We have a problem!!
