Say Their Names Lyrics by Larry Thomas Jr.

2020

Say Their Names
Intro:
We still ain’t free
Yeah
Say their names
Say their names
Verse 1:
Somebody said that when I speak
That I don’t back it up
And I’m conceited
Cut the beat since I don’t rap enough
Aye Boy I came from rock bottom
They just acting tough
I’m really out here calling shots
And they just calling bluffs
Man I remember on the 4th of July, 2005
Headed to Dollar Tree we had batteries to derive
Before we even arrived
An officer had his eyes
On our windows that were tinted
Maybe cuz our skin is tinted
And I ain’t race baiting just saying that I’m attentive
In the land of the free
I don’t feel like we represented
They say it’s not a protest if you violently riot
But think you hate the military when they see you kneeling
Like a twisted drug dealer they never take what they dealing
Lemme finish my story or they’ll paint me as the villain
The police raised his voice at my Momma
So she clapped back
He said, “I got the power with this badge, now how you like that”
Put her in handcuffs and pushed her onto the car
I’m crying thinking how could things get this far
But then to my attention
It was something she would mention
To that officer
To reach his level of comprehension
A Cell Key from when she was working up at the station
Now he talking patient
He Really feeling racist
We went home Scott Free
Since “no harm was done”
Really cuz he ain’t wanna hurt his own
We Still Slaves...
Hook:
Still ain’t free
We still ain’t free
Yeah we still ain’t free
I’m tired of using hashtags saying RIP for real
I said We still ain’t free
Nah We still ain’t free
I said we still ain’t free
To bring change
We gotta start with YOU AND ME for real
Yeah We still ain’t free
I said We still ain’t free
I said we still ain’t free
I’m tired of using hashtags saying RIP for real
Okay We still ain’t free
Yeah We still ain’t free
I said we still ain’t free
To bring change
We gotta start with YOU AND ME for real
Verse 2:
Say their names like it’s destiny child
Some police keeping they job
When they really defiled
I got a friend from Africa
Ask how our nation is racist
When fighting racism
It’s people tryna debate it
They doing it on twitter
Where everyone mind sedated
Acting like Tomi Lahren
I know that they views are Jaded
17, gunned down
Cuz his skin is shaded
With skittles and an ice tea
A hoodie in the night breeze
Please get up off me tryna tell you
I CAN NOT BREATHE
Police keep on shooting like they don’t believe
That I bleed
And they still lynching
“Hunt em down!”
Turn on the high beams
With tear gas in my eyes
I got a Vision no Visine
Defund what is corrupt
And watch the numbers stop rising
Get rid of symbolism
Of the hate they’ve been disguising
Cuz I hate the bad apples
Don’t mean, I don’t back the blue
Cuz I say my life matters
Don’t mean, yours don’t matter too! For real
Hook:
Still ain’t free
Still ain’t free
I said we still ain’t free
I’m tired of using hashtags saying RIP
Because We still ain’t free
Nah We still ain’t free
I said we still ain’t free
To bring change
We gotta start with YOU AND ME for real
We still ain’t free
I said We still ain’t free
Yeah we still ain’t free
I’m tired of using hashtags saying RIP for real
I said We still ain’t free
Yeah said We still ain’t free
Yeah I said we still ain’t free
To bring change
We gotta start with YOU AND ME for real
