Lyrics

OUR NAME IS GEORGE FLOYD

But for the love of man
Hate would have turned us to dust
Our name is George Floyd
Take your knee off our necks

Priority of life
with the luxury of time
This is our time
our time to shine

Hunger rules the world C
And we don’t move forward
by going backwards
We got our roots

We got our roots
long, long ago
And we can all learn better
about everything

Priority of life
with the demands of time
This is our time
our time to shine

But for the love of man
Hate would have turned us to dust
Our name is George Floyd
Take your knee off our necks
.
His name was George Floyd
a Black man in America
Dying for no reason
at the hands of a cop

“I can’t breathe,” he cried
His life was stolen
as he cried to his mother
in Heaven

(Bridge)
He stopped breathing
He stopped living
For no good reason
those cops killed him

But for the love of man
Hate would have turned us to dust
Our name is George Floyd
Take your knee off our necks

We got our roots
And this is our time to shine
This is our time to shine
our time to shine
