lyrics

Verse I

Mamma always told me, life’s a gem.
And break’n hearts ain’t no way to begin.
Well I found out the hard way, once again.
And what I learned, it sank deep beneath the skin.

Chorus

Well, I know you lost a summer.
I know you’ve been locked in.
I know you lack that graduation,
You and all your friends were in.

If you head downtown to protest,
For justice; all who lived.
Well, I believe in a better life,
Where you and all your friends begin.

Verse II

Well, skin ain’t always cracked up for you to win.
I got brothers, black & brown, but blue again.
Sayin' "I can't breathe” through generations again.
Or we blame it on their country of origin.

(Chorus)
