about

The new Allan Harris single, Run Through America, is a protest song in support of Black Lives Matter.

lyrics

He went for a run
In a sleepy Georgia town
Thought he was safe
But they gunned Ahmaud down
Where ya gonna go
From the land that we love
They say “Run Nigger Run through America”

Sleeping in a bed
With her man late at night
Killed in the hallway
They shot Brionna eight times
Where ya gonna go
From the land that we love
They say “Run Nigger Run through America”

We’re tired of singing tired of praying
It’s hard to believe
They have never felt our pain
A revolution for restitution
Let’s take to the streets
And shout out their names


Watching them birds
Chris was down in Central Park
White woman said
“I’m gonna go and call the cops”
Where ya gonna go
From the land that we love
They say “Run Nigger run through America”

Yelled for his mama
With a knee on his neck
Cried out for mercy
But they killed George Floyd instead
Where ya gonna go
From the land that we love
They say “Run Nigger Run through America”
