After the deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and many others at the hands of police this year, there has been a growing acknowledgement of the need to amplify voices in the Black community and other marginalized groups.
Our present conversations about systemic racism and police brutality aren’t...
[Verse 1] - Jon Corbin
Man, it seems like a Siege of repeated atrocities
No Virtuosity, the struggle is real
Heart Conditioned to hate, man they struggle to feel
Streets a Crimson Tide 'cause they coming with steel
Cops pop 2 Guns with tasks to do
American Gangsters attacking you
See the news everyday in Deja Vu
Cry Freedom for the days 'cause the Blacks are blue
Man, what's a Whitlock Matt to do?
Take Flight overnight? The paths are few
Pray for the Fallen like the pastors do?
Fight to Equalize or retract your crew?
Claim the basis is race, it's a gory Debate
Then the people rise up and they Glory in hate
This story relates to Hurricanes fighting
Days soon come they’ll Remember These Titans
[Chorus] - Aubrey Norohna
Amplify, Amplify
Hear their voices, Hear their cries
Amplify, Amplify
Would you give me some space to rise?
[Verse 2] - Aubrey Noronha
All of these years, all of these tears
And nobody ever seems to hear me cry
Can’t nobody hear me
Saying, “I can’t breathe”
You say ‘wait a little longer
Things will turn around
The System may be broken
Don’t let that get you down’
But we’re already down
We’re down on the ground
With the system on our neck
We can barely make a sound
[Chorus] - Aubrey Norohna
Amplify, Amplify
Hear their voices, Hear their cries
Amplify, Amplify
Would you give me some space to rise?
