[Intro — heartbeat drum, one voice, almost a whisper] Minidraco... Minidraco... [Verse 1] Running from a past he ain't even know he had Rocky had a switch and a Draco that's gon' blast He was clowning, then Brodie shot at folks — no warning Now Minidraco's holding what his brother died holding What about single men? Doing it all alone What about absent fathers With no one's arms to fall into? If you thought we didn't notice How much blood is on the floor If you thought we didn't notice The crying youth with nowhere to go [Hook] Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-AH Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-OH [Verse 2] Cause nights like this The sirens sing courage to sleep What about the mothers who bury what they keep? What about the corner where they sell him what he's dying for? What about the playground where the swings don't swing no more? What about Minidraco — thirteen with a grown man's war And the only thing his brother left him, waiting on the floor? What about the mothers who bury what they bore? What about the corner where they sell him what he's dying for? What about the playground where the swings don't swing no more? What about Minidraco — thirteen with a grown man's war And the only thing his brother left him, waiting on the floor? [Hook 2 — title chant, voices stacking] Minidraco! Minidraco! Minidraco! Minidraco! [Verse 3] Running from a past he ain't even know he had Rocky had a switch and a Draco that's gon' blast He was clowning, then Brodie shot at folks — no warning Now Minidraco's holding what his brother died holding What about the hands that put it in his reach? What about the block that raised him just to watch him bleed? What about the cameras only filming while he grieves? What about the promise of the life he'll never see? If you thought we didn't notice... We noticed everything. [Bridge] Running from a past he ain't even know he had Rocky had a switch and a Draco that's gon' blast He was clowning, then Brodie shot at folks — no warning Now Minidraco's holding what his brother died holding [Breakdown — whispered, nearly bare] If you thought we didn't notice... [Finale — one plea, louder every line] Do you hear me? Hear me, hear me, hear me! Do you hear me? HEAR ME! HEAR ME! HEAR ME! For every youth with nowhere to go — Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-AH! Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-OH! [Outro — one voice, bare] What about Minidraco?
