lyrics

A man is born on an island off the seas
When he came of age left the home where he came to be
To the red, white and blue to a city that is new
Left his wife and children to make all dreams come true

One day upon the job trouble came stormin' loud
He fell to the floor began foaming from the mouth
Who better to call than 911 itself
No one ever thought they'd do the killing deed themselves

For a black man, black face, black eyes, wrong place
will make any man dead
White man, fire line, badge at the right time
Will let him walk free justified so we sing:

We won't go x2
We march for what's right
'Till they look past the black and white
We won't go

The criminal minded fools are those dressed in blue
They're the ones that take an innocent life or two
100 strong we stand marching for all those
Who've done nothing wrong and will never return home

For a black man, black face, black eyes, wrong place
will make any man dead
White man, fire line, badge at the right time
Will let him walk free justified so we sing:

We won't go x2
We march for what's right
'Till they look past the black and white
We won't go
