Lyrics

SIX LETTERS

Six letters that’ll make you smile
When you’re joking with your friends
Six letters spelt from an evil
I will never comprehend

Black boy in the wrong neighbourhood
Stand your ground
Wearing a hoodie must be up to no good
Stand your ground
Track him like an animal, yank his chain
Stand your ground
Make sure he drowns in a bloody stain
Stand your ground, shoot him down

chorus

Black man tryin’ to plead his case
Take him down
Four cops keen to put him in his place
Take him down
Man’s got asthma, says he can’t breathe
Take him down
Six feet under fell to his knees
Take him down, choke him down

chorus

Wrong place, wrong time
Wrong doings, wrong minds
Jim Crow’s legacy prevails
Slavery’s abolished but people are still enslaved
Laws don’t change mentalities
Just how the game is played
