Knee To The Neck Lyrics

Reparations can't bring back our ancestors

Cops, the original kidnappers

No justice, no peace

Abolish the police

Knee to the neck

You don't serve and protect

Us, so who do we trust

You out here being reckless

Look around

Shit going down

Ain't no freedom

In this town

Knee to the back

Ya anti-Black

Our melanin has always

Been under attack

Silence ain't enough, time to shift the mentality

Let's take a knee to end police brutality

Let's get free

Give liberation libations

Let's get free

For the Future generations

Ancestors rolling in the grave

They help to keep us feeling brave

They shed blood

And they shed tears

It's on us to conquer our fears

It's on us to conquer our fears

Living in a nightmare

Somebody, anybody wake me up from despair

Not going to agree to disagree

But Juneteenth didn't set us free

1865-We wanted dead or alive

Bounty on our head

And oppression is the prize

Who do we call

What we gonna do

When the culprit and the criminal is you

Overseer, Overseer oops I mean officer

Officer, Officer, Nah I mean overseer

Batons as whips

Chains within grip

Uniforms of the oppressor

Grab the gun from the dresser

Don't forget the noose

And to you-we're strange fruit

Blood on the leaves

And bitter at the root

Black cop

Black cop

Such a fucking sell out

In uniform you're them

Embodying the sin

And then when you clock out

You at the fucking cookout

Ya afraid of us but we afraid of you

Trading in your black life and traded it for blue

The issue is the system

It ain't really with you

Let's get free

Give liberation libations

Let's get free

For the future generations

Ancestors rolling in the grave

They help to keep us feeling brave

They shed blood

And they shed tears

It's on us to conquer our fears

It's on us to conquer our fears

This ain't only in America

This is another global pandemic

A State of emergency

Not just killing Black men

Rip George Floyd

But women

Rip Breonna Taylor

Trans people

Rip Tony McDade

And Children too

RIP 7 year old Aiyana Stanley-Jones

Killed by SWAT

Yo this shit gotta stop

I can't breathe

Who will fight for me

We can't breathe

Who will fight for us

Who can we trust

Who can we trust

No justice, no peace

Abolish the police

No justice, no peace

Abolish the police
