I am Oscar Grant I am every man who has been gunned down I am every man who never had a chance I will not give up I will not give up I will not be free I will not be free Till all my brothers Can walk in peace I will not forget I will not forget I will not lay rest I will not lay rest No one is free When others are oppressed. Every man of every shade Has equal value and worth If you look beneath the skin and get to know the man within An other and a they becomes an us I am Mike Brown I am Trayvon. I am Oscar Grant I am every man who has been gunned down I am every man who never had a chance I will not give up I will not give up I will not be free I will not be free Till all my brothers Can walk in peace I will not forget I will not forget I will not lay rest I will not lay rest No one is free When others are oppressed. Love will hold our streets in close Love will get us through this mess If we love our enemies like we love our family There won't be another reason to protest Recorded (audio and video) by Elijah Palnik Words and music by Ari Herstand
