[Verse]
Dm7
 Too many mothers crying
       Am
People dying on our phones
Dm7                             Am
 Honestly I’m scared the ones I love won’t make it home
             Dm7
When they’re walking or driving or in their own homes
Am
Law in their face justice leaves them alone
         Dm7             Am
It ain’t right, it ain’t right


[Pre-Chorus]
               Dm7
When if it was your mother, your brother, your son or your lover
Am                                            Dm7
Your father, your daughter, your sister, your friend
                    E7sus4   E7
I don’t think you’d sit back


[Chorus]
          Am7                  G6
So If you look like me and you don’t wanna speak
                    Dm7
Don’t call yourself a lover
               F            G
Don’t call yourself a lover
Am7                              G6
Change needs us, I’m begging you please stand up
                    Dm7
And call yourself a lover
                E7sus4 E7
Call yourself a lover


[Verse]
Dm7
 Don’t tell somebody bleeding
    Am
How their supposed to bleed
Dm7                     Am
 Quoting Luke 6:39 but ignoring those in need
                 Dm7
Their shooting EMT’s, kids getting candy
           Am
Garner and Floyd said that they can’t breathe
                     Dm7
When did signing the wrong check
               Am
Become signing your own death?


[Pre-Chorus]
               Dm7  N.C.
When if it was your mother, your brother, your son or your lover
Am7                                              Dm7
Your father, your daughter, your sister, your friend
                    E7sus4   E7
I don’t think you’d sit back


[Chorus]
          Am7                  G6
So If you look like me and you don’t wanna speak
                      Dm7
Don’t call yourself a lover
               F            G
Don’t call yourself a lover
Am7                              G6
Change needs us, I’m begging you please stand up
                    Dm7
And call yourself a lover
                E7sus4 E7
Call yourself a lover


[Bridge]
Dm7
Skin tones don’t deserve gravestones
                    Am
It’s time to make a change in our history
         Dm7
Cause if one life is not treated equal
                   Am9                  Aaug   
Theres no way that all lives could ever be
Dm7
Skin tones don’t deserve gravestones
