Under the devil's knee oh Lord

I'm under the devil's knee

Oh I'm screamin' I cannot breathe oh Lord
我嘶喊着无法呼吸 主啊
From under the devil's knee
仍被困在恶魔膝下
When George Floyd was a young boy in a project
当乔治·弗洛伊德还是贫民区的少年
Called The Bricks

It was hard to see a way out of Houston Texas
休斯顿的天空仿佛永无出路
All them kids would tease him because of where he lived

But he never planned to stay long a Cuney Homes kid
但他从未打算在贫民窟久留
Yea his love for basketball got him a scholarship
对篮球的热爱让他获得奖学金
All the way at South Florida State
远赴南佛罗里达州立大学
He came back after 2 years lookin for a job
两年后他返乡求职
But got wrapped back up in ******** pled guilty to the law
却再度卷入纷争 最终认罪伏法
George came outta prison with his head on straight

Teachin' all the neighborhood children
开始教导街区的孩童
The good ol christian way

Till his life was taken from him

For no reason but his race

Eric was his first name and Garner was his last

Yea he hailed from New York City

And had to grow up fast

All he learned from highschool

Was how to fix a car

'Cos the state don't fund the schools

In a system built to fail him

And incentivised to charge

He just did what he had to do

Out on Staten Island on a hot day in July

Like a man of peace that he was breakin' up a fight
他本如和平使者般调解纷争
And officer Pantaleo that crooked little swine

He put Eric in a chokehold and squeezed away his life

He left behind 6 children and stolen from his wife

I curse the day you ever opened up your eyes

In Louisville Kentucky the DA and the mayor

Have yet to charge the 3 thugs who killed Breonna Taylor

They broke into her home at midnight unannounced

Without badges or a warrant so her boyfriend stood his ground

To protect the woman he loved and they fired 20 rounds

At the window through the curtains from outside

Breonna worked the long shift on her way to be a nurse

How I wish I coulda saved her from this American Curse

Don't tell me your position don't need no sympathy

Your bleeding heart's complicit if you ain't in the street
若你不上街抗争 你那慈悲心就是帮凶
Now's the time to use that privilege

And wake up from your sleep
快从沉睡中觉醒
Or get out the way we ain't waitin' for next time
