Breonna Taylor Was Her Name

Don’t let her have died in vain.

She was asleep in her bed Then they came, now she’s dead Busted her door, blood on the floor Couldn’t they have knocked instead?

Breonna Taylor was the woman’s name They act like all black people are the same When they were done, she wasn’t the one They wanted — so now who’s taking the blame?

So if you’re black and live in the U.S. Don’t count on there being any justice Our national flaw, cops above the law Until we can dismantle this practice.
