Say Her Name

[Verse 1]
Minnesota cold, streets feel the freeze,
Candles flicker bright on every corner, please,
Portland Avenue echoes with ghosts of the past,
History on repeat, heavy shadows cast.
Less than a mile where oppression took a stand,
Knee met the neck, now grief haunts the land.
A federal gun leaves another family wrecked,
Life torn apart, no love left to protect.

[Chorus]
Say her name—Renee Nicole Good,
Killed by ICE, let’s be crystal-clear and good,
Say her name—Renee Nicole Good,
Federal power took a mother from her son.
Say her name—Renee Nicole Good,
No warrant, no jury, not understood,
Say her name—Renee Nicole Good,
ICE don’t get to be judge, jury, and gun.

[Verse 2]
A single mom, already buried her love,
Still showed up every day, fighting like a dove.
Now her boy got no parents, life’s gone awry,
Because ICE pulled the trigger; they let innocence die.
Under the streetlights, shadows whisper low,
Families shattered, watch the sorrow flow.
They called it a mission, but what does that mean?
Another child lost, another wound unseen.

[Chorus]
Say her name—Renee Nicole Good,
Killed by ICE, let’s be crystal-clear and good,
Say her name—Renee Nicole Good,
Federal power took a mother from her son.
Say her name—Renee Nicole Good,
No warrant, no jury, not understood,
Say her name—Renee Nicole Good,
ICE don’t get to be judge, jury, and gun.

[Bridge]
“Self-defense,” they say, but here’s the twist,
Funny how it only cuts one way through the mist.
Car becomes weapon when power feels fear,
Gun becomes policy, rights disappear.
Fourth Amendment tossed in the snow,
Due process gone when they say “don’t slow.”
You can’t shout “law and order” with a hole in the proof,
When the Constitution's bleeding in front of the youth.

[Chorus]
Say her name—Renee Nicole Good,
Killed by ICE, let’s be crystal-clear and good,
Say her name—Renee Nicole Good,
Federal power took a mother from her son.
Say her name—Renee Nicole Good,
No warrant, no jury, not understood,
Say her name—Renee Nicole Good,
ICE don’t get to be judge, jury, and gun.

[Outro]
Minnesota cold, but fire ignites,
We’ll raise our voice, fight for what’s right,
In the shadows of silence, we’ll carry the load,
Say her name, let the truth explode.
