25th of May, middle of the day George Floyd was pinned to the ground He called out for help, I still hear him say "I can't breathe." but no relief was found The police put a knee to the back of his neck Right there on that Powderhorn street All because old George, his skin, it was black Poor old George never rose to his feet Minneapolis cries over the death of George Floyd And for the way that it all went down A sweet gentle giant, who wasn't even defiant Was murdered that day in Minneapolis town Officer Chauvin, sworn to serve and protect He's the one who killed poor mister Floyd For eight long minutes and 46 seconds Unauthorized techniques were employed A counterfeit twenty doesn't seem enough money To cost a 46 year old man his life He had kids to care for, and he had a new love, a lovely Fiancé who'd have been his wife Minneapolis cries over the death of George Floyd And for the way that it all went down A sweet gentle giant, who wasn't even defiant Was murdered that day in Minneapolis town I still hear him say, help "I can't breathe" And believe me, you can't just ignore The way that George Floyd was killed by police Cause he was black, he'll never breathe, no more The whole world cries over the death of George Floyd And for the way that it all went down A sweet gentle giant, who wasn't even defiant Was murdered that day in Minneapolis town The 25th of May in Minneapolis town
