Take A Knee In Defiance

First, take a knee to defend your rights Then stand up strong for the daily fights And lastly, raise your fist up to the sky. Drop to both knees for humility The struggle is about equality It's about sharing the apple pie. We are tired of singing: we shall overcome We want our dignity now. Please come Join the battle. We shall win. We will win. We want justice, our respect now, today We want a better tomorrow, a better day Free of injustice and brutality. We shall win. We are all supposed to be equal under the law Unfortunately, this is not true. We've seen the saw Splitting the neck bone of our brothers and sisters. Let's take a knee to fight for our rights We're not protesting against the flags We're protesting against the hate-mongers.
