Remember This House (Remix)

They want you to stay silent
Oh, their words stir my violence
So you know better
Four hundred years you still won't let us

What's wrong with my desire?
My people trying to survive
We fighting for our lives
We pay the price, no you cannot deny
Lives broken
These dreams stolen

Black my skin, my hair, my getup
Scars on me carry years of oppression
Our hearts stay firm but these words gon' shatter
Look in my eyes
Black lives do matter

This is our war cry
A missile, a gun fire
Blood pressure is rising
Make some noise, no more silence

Those are my brothers, my sisters, I get 'em
Lines been drawn, no time to settle
We gon' make them hear us
We gon' make them see us

We just want our equal rights
No more trying to survive
We just want our equal rights
No more trying to survive

Is there a light at the end of this tunnel?
If I use my words you still think I'm a rebel
See me on the streets, switch lanes no trouble
Does it bother you your racism is subtle

Tell me how we can feel safe
I see your looks as I go from place to place
This black is not a mistake
This black is not a sealed fate

Humanity's calling us all
Humanity's calling all of us

Black my skin, my hair, my getup
Scars on me carry years of oppression
Our hearts stay firm but these words gon' shatter
Look in my eyes
Black lives do matter

This is our war cry
A missile, a gun fire
Blood pressure is rising
Make some noise, no more silence

Those are my brothers, my sisters, I get 'em
Lines been drawn, no time to settle
We gon' make them hear us
We gon' make them see us

We just want our equal rights
No more trying to survive
We just want our equal rights
No more trying to survive
