Mmmm mmm mmm mmm

Mama (hah hah hah)
Mama (Ooo oo oo)

Mama

Ahh ahh aah
He calls out
I can’t breathe
I can’t breathe
Crown upon his head
wings upon his back
He was a father, a brother, a son
How could you not see it?
When you had your knee on his neck
George Floyd, Say his name
George Floyd
Justice Now
Something’s gotta change
Gotta stop killing our brothers and sisters

What are you gonna do now that you hear the call? oh
What are you gonna do now that you’ve heard his voice? What are you gonna do?

Mama mama oooo

That I can’t breathe
I’m a link (live)

What are you gonna do when you hear the call? (Hear the call)
Mama Yeah Hear the call
I hear you
Oh oh we all hear you

Now we gonna change the world (Change the world)
Now we gotta change the world (Change the world)

Right now, Do it now, Do the work now!
It’s a marathon
Not a sprint now (Yes)
Oh oh oh oh
Ooo ooo ooo
Mama Oh Oh Oh

For my brothers and my sisters (For my brothers and my sisters)
For the one that go before us (For the one that go before us)
For the ancestors and the future ancestors
That now depends on us (that now depends on us)
The time is now
Right here, right now (Right here, right now, the time is now)

Mama
Now you hear the call
Heart of my heart
Heart of my heart
Mama
Mmm mmm mmm
