Okay, one more thing I wanna say.
On May 25th, 2020 a 46-year-old
Black man name George Floyd
died in Minneapolis, Minnesota
when a police officer knelt his knee
on his neck for almost 9 minutes
while he was handcuffed
and laying on his face
being restrained by
other officers as well,
and he begged for his
life and repeatedly said,
"I can't breathe".
Rest in peace and
justice for George Floyd,
Breonna Taylor,
and all victims of racism.
Peace out, y'all.

Listen
this song is dedicated any and everybody
who's never been afraid
to be alone for five minutes.
To be understood forever.
The inner child should never die.
But this time the revolution
will be televised.
I mean that.
Thank you everyone
for joining us tonight.
You could have been
anywhere in the world,
but you're here with us.
Look, growing up in Chicago,
it really gave me a unique lens
to look at the world through.
And I know that our world
is burning right now.
It's a revolution.
The time has come.
This moment is ours.
For Black creatives everywhere.
We get to be the historians,
we get to tell our own story.
It's our job to tell the truth.
And through our craft we'll
explore the hard times,
the beautiful moments, and the stories
that inspire the next
generation to keep going.
The Chi shows us that
when we come together
and amplify each others' voices
we can overcome a system
that was never designed
to help us in the first place.
I hope you enjoyed watching this concert
just as much as we
enjoyed putting it together.
Thank you to everyone who joined us
to be a part of this event tonight
and thank you to everyone who donated
to the Equal Justice Initiative.
Your voices have been heard.
So we wish you a great night
and we hope you enjoy
season 3 of The Chi.
