Lyrics
We've been here for three hundred years
Packaged fears on those slavery ships
Traumatized by generation fears
We've been down for a lifetime
Bleeding out the blood, then paralyzed
By the system's evil alibis
Hold your reigns, we are going to war
With our guns and our swords
We hold down our future
Stand your ground, we are ready to fight
We come dead in the night
As we claim our future
Shake it off, get dirty and shake it off
Get a grip and shake it off
It's the time to call up the names of the strong and the brave
Shake it off, in the sand, just shake it off
No excuses, shake it off
It's the time to bow, take the knee for the history
For the history, for the history
We've passed down all of the hidden pain (Passing down the hidden pain)
From our ground up, this goes 'round again (But you come around again)
Through our bodies, keep staying the same (Still our bodies, stay the same, stay the same)
We need to break the chains and analyze (Break the chains and analyze)
There's a brand new day for our lives (Brand new day within our lives)
Whether you be black or blue or white (Black or blue, black or blue, black or blue or white)
Hold your reigns, we are going to war
With our guns and our swords
We hold down our future
Stand your ground, we are ready to fight
We come dead in the night
As we claim our future
Shake it off, get dirty and shake it off
Get a grip and shake it off
It's the time to call up the names of the strong and the brave
Shake it off, in the sand, just shake it off
No excuses, shake it off
It's the time to bow, take the knee for the history
For the history, for the history
For the history, for the history
Shake it off, get dirty and shake it off
Get a grip and shake it off
It's the time to call up the names of the strong and the brave
Shake it off, in the sand, just shake it off
No excuses, shake it off
It's the time to bow, take the knee for the history
For the history, for the history
For the history, for the history
