[Intro: Roland Martin]
I have a problem, every year around MLK day
Because the Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King Jr for some reason
Has been treated as America's civil rights mascot

On this day, you'll have folks
Who would have never in their life
Marched with, agreed with, voted with, anything he believed in
One of the biggest bigots in the United States congress
He had the audacity to set out a Doctor King quote

[Verse 1: Teo Lee]
The March has begun
Every day we rise like the sun
We’ll fight till the battle is won

Can you hear the footsteps?
Listen cause we’re comin' like a gang on the street
So you better start runnin'

It’s time for some action now
Historical progression
Generations march in succession
Through 400 years
Hate, blood, sweat and tears and counting
The resistance is mounting

[Chorus: Teo Lee & Pumashock]
March and resist!
Pump your fist!
Throw your hands in the air just like this!

We are the igniters
Another generation of fighters
When it gets hard we charge!

Protest and resist!
Pump your fist!
Throw your hands in the air just like this!

We are the igniters
Another generation of fighters
We don’t quit we hit!

[Verse 2: Teo Lee & Pumashock]
Don’t get it twisted
Black women insisted (Mhmm)
Showed the world how they resisted (Ooo-ooo-oo)

Alabama got rocked
The world was shocked that they did it
98 percent got with it! (Ooo-ooo-yeah!)

In the face of an onslaught
600 thousand got caught
The tables were turned and burned (Ooo-ooo-yeah!)
The haters got just what they earned
Sooner or later they will learn
They’ll learn (Yeah-yeah!)

[Chorus: Teo Lee & Pumashock]
March and resist!
Pump your fist!
Throw your hands in the air just like this!
Just like this!

We are the igniters
Another generation of fighters (Like this!)
When it gets hard we charge!

Protest and resist
Pump your fist
Throw your hands in the air just like this!

We are the igniters
Another generation of fighters
We don’t quit we hit!

[Bridge: Pumashock & Roland Martin]

Bum bum ba dam
Bum bum ba dam

He might have listened to Dr. King's sermons
But certainly, he did not invade his spirit
To affect his public policy

Yeah-e-yeah-e

[Verse 3: Teo Lee]
Black Lives Matter
Shatter
The myth that they do
You’re lying to yourself and your lying to your crew

Walkin' In step with the alt-right
Siphoning insight
I don’t know how you sleep at night!

All Lives Matters is a lie
Sitting there stupid like you don’t know why
Give this a try
Empathy is what you see
When you step in someone’s
Shoes who looks nothing like you

The system is unequal by design
With laws that draw the line
Time after time after time after time

Failure exists without a savior
The people in charge just repeat their behavior
So into the storm, we march
Stepping on the fault line of change and denial that remains
We’ll battle 'till we get a return with interest
Stand a bear witness to the force of the resistance!

[Chorus: Teo Lee & Pumashock]
March and resist!
Pump your fist!
Throw your hands in the air just like this!

We are the igniters
Another generation of fighters
When it gets hard we charge!

Protest and resist
Pump your fist
Throw your hands in the air just like this!

We are the igniters
Another generation of fighters
We don’t quit we hit!
Come on!

[Bridge: Roland Martin, Various News Sources, & Pumashock]
Bum bum ba dam
Bum bum ba dam
Yeah-e-yeah-e
Come on!

We can not allow people to continue
To pimp MLK day
For their purposes that they're unwilling to stand up for the very things that he believed in

Bum bum ba dam
Bum bum ba dam
Na-na-na-na na-na-na na-na-na
Bum bum ba dam
Yeah-e-yeah-e
Come on!

"No human being is illegal!"
"There are marches in all 50 states designed to empower people, not just women, all people the rights of immigrants, social and environmental justice everyone is welcome"
"We represent powerful forces of change!"

Ooo gotta keep marching on (Uh huh huh)
Gotta keep marching on (Yeah yeah!)
Gotta keep marching on (Oh no)
Gotta keep marching on
Come on!

[Chorus: Teo Lee, Pumashock, & Roland Martin]
March and resist!
Pump your fist!
Throw your hands in the air just like this!
(Just like this!)

You can't say he was a great man, but you vote against healthcare falls

Protest and resist
Pump your fist
Throw your hands in the air just like this!
(Ooo woo ooo yeah )

You can't say he was a great man, but you want to break up families and deport folks from this country

Come on!
March and resist!
Pump your fist!
Throw your hands in the air just like this!

You can't say he was a great man when you are involved with folks who believe in voter suppression

Protest and resist
Pump your fist
Throw your hands in the air just like this!
Wave your hands in the air just like this

You can not say he was a great man if you're unwilling to stand up for civil rights in 2018

[Outro: Pumashock & Roland Martin]
Gotta keep marching on
Gotta keep marching on
Gotta keep marching on

I'm sick and tired of people pimping Dr. King and the civil rights movement for their own very causes
It's time to say no more
