Prosеcutors say officer Derek Chauvin had his knee on Gеorge Floyd's neck for eight minutes and forty six seconds, including two minutes and fifty three seconds after Floyd had become unresponsive

[Verse 1]
Don't wanna see no mo' videos
Too black to watch 'em do it
Feels like I keep witnessing
My very own execution
My people is tired
My neighbors is silent
I'm finished with tryin'
To form an alliance
I gave 'em my time
Exposing they bias
They still didn't buy it
I swear I'm finished
They don't want equality
At the cost of they privilege
My hope is retired
Just surviving until I die
No revolution or riot
Puts love in their evil eyes
Not defending my humanity
I know who I am
They the ones who need to prove
They not a monster but man
'Cause they justify our slaughter
With the lies they invent
Ain't no reasoning with hatred
They in love with they sin

[Chorus]
Warm blood on a cold street
Black love and a white lie
I'm losing patience Lord
Don't let my heart become ice
Warm blood on a cold street
Black love and a white lie
I'm losing patience Lord
Don't let my heart become ice

[Verse 2]
They say be patient
But we been waitin' for centuries
My question
Tell me how many stabs
To the front and the back
Should I take 'for I learn my lesson
I just wanna be around my people
I don't wanna talk about no white folk
I just wanna bump my rap
And buy my snacks
And walk back to my home
I just wanna take a jog on my street
I just wanna play some ball wit my peeps
I don't even need these fools to love me
I would just love if they let us be
I would just love if they let us breathe
Heart fatigue and my faith is weak
Every time I leave my crib
Gotta say my prayers
That I do not rest in peace

[Chorus]
Warm blood on a cold street
Black love and a white lie
I'm losing patience Lord
Don't let my heart become ice
Warm blood on a cold street
Black love and a white lie
I'm losing patience Lord
Don't let my heart become ice

[Bridge]
Lord my God
Lord my God
Don't let my enemies win
Don't let my heart become callous
Don't let my pain become sin
Lord my God
Lord my God
I need your heavenly strength
This world I see is so hopeless
Don't let my eyes be convinced

Lord my God
Lord my God
Don't let my enemies win
Don't let my heart become callous
Don't let my pain become sin
Lord my God
Lord my God
I need your heavenly strength
This world I see is so hopeless
Don't let my eyes be convinced

[Chorus]
Warm blood on a cold street
Black love and a white lie
I'm losing patience Lord
Don't let my heart become ice
Warm blood on a cold street
Black love and a white lie
I'm losing patience Lord
Don't let my heart become ice
