He Takes a Knee

 

He Takes a Knee, by Chris Reed and the Anime Raiders New single drops April 2, 2021. Lyrics by Kevin Donville, Music by Chris Reed, Copyright 2021 A.R.R. (BMI) Initially written to commemorate the anniversary of George Stinney Jr.'s execution, with lyrics updated over the past year. The problems we face with racism are decades, CENTURIES older than a lot of us are willing to admit. If someone takes a knee, you should applaud - it's a stand against the inequality of our justice system. SAY THEIR NAMES - https://sayevery.name/​ If you're upset by the one curse in the song, keep in mind that there is no polite way to describe a racist. I edited it for the radio version. For Colin, of course. Recorded at Edge of the World Studios in 2021. Video by Murtazarizvi29 from fivver with no input from the band or authors.
