Blue lights flashing in the cold night air They’re breaking doors, they’re stripping souls bare They snatch the kids, they silence every plea Taking Alex Pretti, taking Renee Goode The sirens scream, the neighbors start to cry Watching all our brothers and sisters die. (Chorus) Murder in Minneapolis, the blood is on the street Our hearts are breaking to a heavy, hollow beat We’ll never heal until the truth is finally found Oh, Murder in Minneapolis, don’t let them tear us down. (Verse 2) They tried to crush us, thought we’d turn and run But we’re stronger than the barrel of a coward’s gun We locked our arms, we stood inside the rain Turning all our anger into strength against the pain They saw our fire, they couldn’t take the heat The oppressors turned and scattered to the street. (Chorus) Murder in Minneapolis, the blood is on the street Our hearts are breaking to a heavy, hollow beat We’ll never heal until the truth is finally found Oh, Murder in Minneapolis, don’t let them tear us down. (Bridge) Renee and Alex, we’re keeping you in mind Leaving all the terror and the fear behind The city rose up, we took our power back And pushed the shadows deep into the black. (Outro) Yeah, we took our power back Minneapolis remembers We’re standing tall tonight.
