I have to say no sir.

This one is for my brother; this one is for my friend

He is a husband, he’s a father

He is a hardworking man

Talented and respected

With a big humble heart,

Filled with love and art.

We felt free because we believed

Now we are told we are free

And that we need to believe.

I am sorry my friend

I was there until the end.

Couldn’t raise a finger

Couldn’t raise my voice either

Now I got to live with my tail between my legs

Mister that’s what you did to a sister!

I am going to call you sir

But please don’t touch my brother!

If for real he did bother

Please take him to the corner

Show him some good manners

And be a better man.

We look up to you sir

You wear the suit of courage

You cannot cause any damage

We look up to you sir!

I feel so sad

When I see a man of honor act so bad

A man I should respect, an elder,

The one that should know better.

The suit is a prison

Once you wear it you owe the population

To make no abomination

Because your incrimination

Stains more than one person.

Reassure me, don’t pressure me

You got to stay pure

Secure me, don’t brutalize me

Sensitize me, don’t traumatize me,

No no sir

No sir

No, no, no, no, no

I have to tell you no sir.
