We the People

We the People were an American garage rock band from Orlando, Florida that were formed in late 1965 and professionally active between 1966 and 1970. Although none of their singles charted nationally in the U.S., a number of them did reach the Top 10 of the local Orlando charts. The band are perhaps best remembered for their song "Mirror of Your Mind" which reached the Top 10 in a number of regional singles charts across the U.S. during 1966. The song has subsequently been included on several compilation albums over the years. more »

Eight minutes and forty-six seconds
George Floyd begged for air
He called out to anybody who would listen
The people who refused to listen
Were the people who were supposed to listen
It was supposed to be the police who were
Meant to protect and serve George Floyd
Because George Floyd was an American citizen
And George Floyd was a human being
George Floyd deserved humanity
When he couldn't breathe
None of us could breathe
May Day
A public lynching took place on the 25th of
May day May day May day calling all cars
Inflicting all wounds ignoring all scars
A public lynching took place
But in the form of "please, I can't breathe"
Where is my Mother she has passed on beyond me
Yet I can see her face as clear as ever
She comforts me as 8 minutes
Have been 5 too many
And how many times too many
How many cried too many
How many died too many times
You giving lies like he didn't comply
As if the ends justify the why's
They blame the symptoms for the sickness
Like the fever isn't a result of
The unstable human condition
A public lynching took place again and again
Why riot? Protest why try it?
Full of pain, why diet?
Give us this day our daily dose of a narrative
Inhumane how they comparing us
Fear when they stare at us
This is America
Please rise for the national anthem
Oh say can you see
That the system created victims
And the people who ignore history
Are devoid of their wisdom. Amen
I can't breathe is the echo
That fills our soul
Building strength in sorrow
We carry a heavy load
Fighting for survival
How far can this go
United voices scream out loud
We can't take this no more
We are humanity
A gift for you and me
Born to be free
God's humanity
We need some unity, accountability
Let's face reality
We need equality
Know justice know peace
Lately it's been just us
Against these racist police
I'm feeling like we
Need police for the police
How 'bout you just
Serve and protect
And stop patrolling my streets
They say it ain't no fun
When the rabbit have the gun
How would you feel if I had guns
And kept them pointing at your son
Laws held me at gunpoint
Didn't think that I'd see 21
I was 16 just hanging out
Trying to have a little fun
You pulled me over for nothing
It ain't making no sense
My hands up I'm talking calm
Ain't no malicious intent
Officer he's no threat
Please put the gun away
We're just a couple trying to make it
Wanna live another day
They slammed my face on the car
Got my hands in the cuffs
I'm not resisting arrest
So why you beating me up
He said he can't breathe man please
Get your knee up off his neck
If you take his life I swear to God
The world will not forget
It's time to change the law
Call the troops call the troops
It's time to change the law
Rally up rally up
It's time to change the law
Hands up don't shoot
It's time to change the law
We done had enough
Land of the free home of the brave
But when I come out it's all the same
Who do I call who do I trust
What do I say when my hands in cuffs
I can't breathe why would you
Care if I'm only an enemy
You're never gonna receive me
All you wanna do is beat me
Fighting for our right to
Breathe the same air that you do
We need change let our voices scream out
I can't breathe so you choose
How far can we go
Waiting for a change
Does my life matter to you
Or is this just a game
We are the world and we can't breathe
There's no justice there's no peace
We are the world and we gotta
Be the people that we wanna see
Know justice Know peace
We wanna breathe
Calling Mamma
Mamma
Mamma
She said son don't worry
God got you
He'll be there in a hurry
Close your eyes
Take his hand
Let go
Let Him lead you
Remember His word
George your mine
I've been with you
This whole time
Know justice, Know justice
I'm talking about peace
I can't breathe
I can't
