lyrics

Verse 1
When you see me man, what do you see?/
A dope dealer, a thug, a dope fiend?/
A murderer, a rapist, and animal?/
Or a man, a father, a human being?/
Sho Baraka was right, we could compromise/
But when we open our doors we getting colonized/
When we close our doors, we get ostracized/
When we open our eyes though we can see them lies/
He said the former, I said the latter/
We not fooled by that white supremacist chatter/
Claim to love your neighbor but you portray hate/
Claim to love scripture, but you’re an apostate/
I pray somebody gives you the gospel/
Cuz your life towards God is real hostile/
Only Christ can give your life substance/
I’m praying for you man, while I’m still praying for justice, Ahmaud.

Chorus,
See I’m a just black man,
And just like you, I got a family,
And if you don’t see color, my brother,
How will you ever see me? ,
I’m running with Ahmaud, I’m running with Ahmaud Arbery,
I’m running with Ahmaud, I’m running with Ahmaud Arbery.

Verse 2
Breonna Taylor dead but them cops still free/
They need to be fired, and put in jail please/
She wasn’t even 30 but the system did her dirty/
Ran in the house letting off shots in a flurry/
How can I forget, Elijah McCain/
Kind like a kid, treated like he was deranged/
Black people hurting mane, we all bleeding/
We all in pain, all our hearts leaking/
I’m tired of black folks killed/
Dead in the street, I’m having nightmares still/
When will it stop, when they gone treat us equal/
Breonna Taylor dead, Ahmaud and George were the sequel/
Sometimes I’m just mad, sometimes I want to cry/
But I’m a fight for justice til’ I’m on that other side/
Celebrate June Nineteenth still wanting freedom/
Give your life to Christ though mane we all need em’/

Chorus, Repeat 2X
See I’m a just black man,
And just like you, I got a family,
And if you don’t see color my brother,
How will you ever see me? ,
I’m running with Ahmaud. I’m running with Ahmaud Arbery,
I’m running with Ahmaud. I’m running with Ahmaud Arbery.
