Knock knockĀ
Your favorite joke to tell
You laugh so hard you almost fell
All your friends already know
When knock knock comes up it’s time to go
Knock knock
Tick tock on the clock till you get out of school
Can’t wait to tell a knock knock joke cause you think they’re so cool
You just turned 12 so you get to walk home with friendsĀ
And y’all get to play football on the weekends
Your walking home and there’s a knock knockĀ
Tick tick all time has stoppedĀ
All you heard was a pop pop
They say a cop
Shot you down because you wouldn’t stop
Knock knockĀ
Your body hits the ground
All this sound surroundsĀ
Knock knockĀ
The surgeon is ready to perform
Knock knockĀ
The sound of your heart beat
Then the doctors hear a flat beeeeeeeep
Knock knock
On the door as they tell your mom her son is gone
It’s so hard to carry on
Knock knock
Everyone marches in the street
Everyone is stomping their feet
Everyone on one beat
All the signs read āBlack lives matterā
Now youāre just a hashtag
Knock knockĀ
Everyoneās favorite thing you said
Knock knock
Now youāre dead
