_ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
His [Ebm] birthday [Dbm] was on next _ Tuesday
_ [Ab] But he won't lift a [Gm] sing of [Abm] the _ day _
_ _ _ _ Oh, [Gb] that's my brother, [Ebm] yeah, I miss [Dbm] him
Another body, another [Abm] _ victim
[Eb] All because of this crooked [Abm] system
They took and we cooked and this son
[B]
Ruled and abused [Dbm] but we refuse to [Eb]
lose
Yeah, _ [E] _ _ open [Eb] _
eyes, we will rise
We gon' fight, we won't die

_ _ _ [Dbm] _ _ _ _ _
here
We're standing [Eb] _ here _ _
_ _ _ [Abm] _ We're crying _ over blood and tears _ _
_ _ [Dbm] We're built on strength
We've buried [B] all our [E] fears
We [Eb] all see what's [Abm] going on _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ [Eb] No, _ _ _ we [Ab] gon' fight _
Everything gon' be _ alright
We're aware, don't you see?
[Eb] We're standing here
[Ab] We're much stronger [B] than you [Eb] think
We [Db] gon' swim now, we won't sink
[B] It's gonna take [Bb] a million [Eb] _
[G] people
To [Ab] try to hold [Eb] us back [Abm] from freedom
What about all [Gb] the mothers
[Dbm] That are losing all their sons?
[Abm] What about all the daughters
That are losing all their fathers?
To my blood in the [Ebm] street
[Dbm] Won't you stop killing my people?
[Abm] Never going back to [Eb] sleep
Cause [Abm] we're all fighting for the peace
Because we're woke
