Enough (From Trump collection) [View all]

ENOUGH

The flames of fire from yesterday
Burns my face with shame
We’d pretended that things were different
Deep-down they were the same.

Black rock below our feet
Our marching footsteps like a roar
This time we cannot allow
Things to go on as before

So we rise up and stand together
We need to end this forever
It’s been said
We all bleed red
Enough

Hating people for no sin
But the color of their skin
Is a cancer on society
That will eat us from within

Destruction swirling all around
So dangerous I want to leave
But I can’t unsee what I’ve seen
We heard him saying, “I can’t breathe.”

So we rise up and stand together
We need to end this forever
It’s been said
We all bleed red
Enough
