Listen Up!
Listen Up! Mothers and fathers are crying
Listen Up! Our sisters and brothers are dying
Story continues below advertisement
Listen Up! In their homes, in the streets
Listen Up! Threatened by cowards hiding in sheets
Listen Up! Riots are the language of the unheard
Listen Up! Their names must forever be remembered
Listen Up! Breonna, Sandra, Sonya, George, Philando, Trayvon
Listen Up! And far too many more; the list continues on
Listen Up! Going to the store’s a risk, just for milk and bread
Listen Up! It isn’t even safe to be at home, asleep in bed
Listen Up! It is up to all of us to bring this to an end
Listen Up! To set aside our differences and embrace as friends
