Grace Givertz - Papa lyrics

Artist: Grace Givertz

album: Papa


Papa was a good man
He taught my mother to stand tall and hold up her head
Kill 'em with kindness he said
But how can I be kind
When they look us in the eye and watch us die
How can I be brave
When all I know is how to be afraid
I hope to be half the man my Papa was some day
Mama says I have my Papa's eyes
She told me to be kind cause it'll kill them in time
I'd like to think she wouldn't lie
How can I see through
When all I see's the Black being killed by the blue
My Papa, Mama says, lives on in you
Sandra couldn't drive fast enough
They're out here killing our young
Trayvon and Tamir are just kids who should be here
Papa couldn't outrun the gun
Ahmaud couldn't run fast enough
I can't breathe is all that George and Eric could scream
Mama is older than her Papa was
When Dagmar wielded a gun
My Papa was too young to be found dead by his son
I am angry, I'm betrayed
And I've been scared from too young an age
That I'll end up like my Papa some day
