Lyrics
Last night I had a dream
Here's what the spirits were singing

We won't rest
In peace at all
Until we're free
We'll be at war
How you kill a black man
Like it's a honorable thang
Pride on your face
Like you ride for the gang
Knee to the floor
Like saluting the clan
I feel the urge to disturb
The silence of the lambs
I feel my reason leavin' me
And demons takin' over
Even gotta pleasant feeling
That it's finally huntin' season
These fools don't understand
We're all human beings
How could you trust'em
Next thing you know
You ain't breathing

We wont rest
In peace at all
Untill we're free
We'll be at war
I speak for the ones
Who won't rest in peace
Cause they won't die in vain
That's to say the least
Justice for the black man
Been in a state of sleep
The world feels
That Georges murder
Might just wake the beast
How many murders left
Before a change come up
It might take a drastic move
Then hear the whole world
Judge us
When we win'em gold medal
They wanna love us
But talk about the money
Or the law
They feel above us
See that's the word we live in
As crazy as can be
If being civilized ain't workin
It's time for plan be
Can't count on these fools
To show the example and lead
If they don't how to act
When one screams
I can't breathe

We won't rest
In peace at all
Untill we're free
We'll be at war

If you part of the forces Say something
Or you're a of the problem
Speak up!
We need to know
A change is really coming
Need to feel it in the way they treat us
We need governments to put pressure
We want governments to act now
We need extraordinary measures
We want justice
We won't back down
Not just a promise that they can't keep
Next murder video
Picture that man's me
Respect should be based
On what you can't see
It's a universal law
You must let a man breathe

We won't rest
In peace at all
Untill we're free
We'll be at war

We won't rest
In peace at all
Untill we're free
We'll be at war

Yeah y'all
We need to see a change now
All that racist shit
Just cut it out
Don't make us haunt you
And hunt you down

It's a new day now
We need to see a real change now
All that racist shit
Just cut it out
Don't make us haunt you
And hunt you down
