[MUSIC - "DOWN ON BENDED KNEE]
I am your voice.
(SINGING) I'm down on bended knee.
So, to every parent who dreams for their child--
(SINGING) I'm down on bended knee.
I say these words to you, tonight.
I am with you.
(SINGING) I can explain.
I will fight for you.
And I will win for you.
I mean, ultimately, is to bring awareness and make
people realize what's really going on in this country.
There are a lot of things that are going on that are unjust.
People aren't being held accountable for.
And that's something that needs to change.
That's something that this country stands for freedom,
liberty, justice for all.
And it's not happening for all right now.
(SINGING) Can we go back to the days our love was strong?
Can you tell me how a perfect love goes wrong?
Can somebody tell me how to get things back the way
they used to be?
I'm down on bended knee.
I'll never walk again.
To all Americans tonight, in all of our cities--
(SINGING) I'm down on bended knee.
--we will make America strong again.
It's something that I've seen, I've felt.
I wasn't quite sure how to deal with, originally.
And it is something that's evolved.
It's something as I've gained more knowledge about what's
going on in this country in the past, what's
going on currently, these are new situations.
This isn't new ground.
It's things that have gone on in this country for years
and years and had never been addressed.
And they need to be.
(SINGING) Can we go back to the days our was strong?
Oh oh, oh, baby.
Can you tell me how a perfect loves goes wrong?
It goes wrong, baby, oh, oh.
Can somebody tell me how to get things back the way
we used to be?
I'm down on bended knee.
Until you come back to me, I'm down on bended knee.
I believe nobody says, that's in the Black community should
stand for the national anthem.
If you look at the creator of the national anthem.
He was a racist.
His name was Francis Scott Key said that Black people--
I'm going to paraphrase, are distinct and inferior species.
Yes, I'll continue to sit.
I'm going to continue to stand with the people that
are being oppressed.
To me, this is something that has to change.
And when there's significant change,
and I feel like that flag represents who its supposed
to represent in this country as representing people the way
they're supposed to, I'll stand.
(SINGING) You got to believe in the spirit of love.
It'll heal all things.
It won't hurt anymore.
Can we go back to the days our love was strong?
Can we go back, baby.
I do want to come back, baby.
Can you tell me how a perfect love goes wrong?
Can somebody tell me how to get things back the way
we used to be.
Oh, God give me a reason.
We will make America proud again.
We will make America safe again.
And we will make America great again!
(SINGING) Tell me.
Can somebody tell me how to get things back the way
we used to be.
Oh, God, give me a reason.
To face reality, to face reality.
Until you come back to me, right now on bended knees.
