2020 Riots: How Many Times (Clean)

2020 Riots: How Many Times (Explicit) - Trey Songz

Hmm

I just gotta get some things off my chest

Tough times I hope y'all holdin' up

We'll be aight 'cause we always is

But I'm feelin' like this

How many mothers have to cry

How many brothers gotta die

How many more times

How many more times

How many more marches

How many more signs

How many more lives

How many more times

Take a look around can you see it now

Don't be colorblind 'cause when they're killin' mine

They'll try to justify it

Oh each and every time

Playin' in a park takin' your jog

Sittin' on the couch in your own house

Never seem to matter what we do

You think we don't matter but we do

You got a problem 'cause the city on fire

But you quiet when n***as die

Let the soul up out that body that we buried

You with God now you no longer have to worry

It's so hard to sing these words out loud

All these beautiful precious black lives

Lost in the name of senseless white pride

Tears fallin' from my eyes

How many mothers have to cry

How many brothers gotta die

How many more times

How many more times

How many more marches

How many more signs

How many more lives

How many more times

Tell me how can you be quiet

You know the language of the unheard is a riot

All we ever see from you is violence

True

You know you ain't no better if you silent

You talking 'bout the city on fire

Oh oh

Where your rage when my people die

We ain't slaves let my people fly

Oh yeah

Now it's time watch my people rise

How many mothers have to cry

Ooh how

How many brothers gotta die

Ooh how

How many more times

Ooh how

How many more times

How many times

How many more marches

Ooh how

How many more signs

Ooh how

How many more lives

Ooh how

How many more times

How many times

How many mothers have to cry

Tell me

How many brothers gotta die

Tell me

How many more times

Oh no

How many more times

How many times

How many more marches

All across the world

How many more signs

Woah oh oh

How many more lives

Shame I gotta ask

How many more times

How many times

I'll leave you with that

Yes yeah
