A police dog was after Corey
Elias was running away
Poor Rodney just sat in his ca-ar
All threatening so-o they say

Chorus:
Hands Up, Hands Up
Hands Up and they won’t shoot May-be (spoken)
Hands Up, Hands Up
Hands Up and you can breathe May-be (spoken)

Do you always stand up for the anthem?
Or like Colin, do you take a knee?
In the year since he started kneeling
Black deaths by cops hit 2-2-3

CHORUS

I’ve heard people say “White lives matter”
I’m sure you’ve heard the same line
When your child is killed for a BB gun
I will certainly hold up that sign

CHORUS

Remember their names with tee shirts
Remember by taking a knee
Remember them at every protest
Just see racist cops don’t go free

CHORUS

Oh what will it take to stop them
These well-armed so scared boys in blue
Re-training, fight back, or fire them
Perhaps when it happens to you.

CHORUS
