lyrics

when someone got hurt when I played sports
we took a knee to show support
guess we don’t do that anymore

no people just want to point and bitch
and say he should be thankful cause he is rich
but I don’t think that tells us the whole story

cause I’ve never been pulled for being black
or had to tell my children that if you are
Just pray up to the Lord

yeah, it seems today instead of Love
we choose to push and then to shove
but I think today I’m ending that for sure

I choose to take a knee

Man.. I’m not dissing upon the flag
or the people who served just like my dad
no I’m just saying that I see

That things aren’t right across this land
and maybe if I do not stand
then others will listen just like me

I choose to take a knee

when someone got hurt when I played sports
we took a knee to show support
guess we don’t do that anymore

no people just want to point and bitch
and say he should be thankful cause he is rich
but I don’t think that tells us the whole story

cause I’ve never been pulled for being black
or had to tell my children that if you are
Just pray up to the Lord

yeah, it seems today instead of Love
we choose to push and then to shove
I think today I’m ending that for sure

I choose to take a knee
I choose to take a knee
I choose to take a knee
