Lately I’ve been going through some things That’s really got me down I need someone, somebody to help me come and Turn my life around
—Sick and tired of my brothers, killin’ each other Sick and tired of daddies leavin’ babies with their mothers So every man that wanna lay around and play around Listen partner, you be man enough to stay around Sick and tired of the Church, talkin’ religion But yet we talk about each other, make a decision No more racism, two face-ism No pollution, the solution A revolution

Just in 2019, Kirk Franklin announced that he would be boycotting Trinity Broadcasting Network and the Gospel Music Association’s Dove Awards because they edited out parts of his acceptance speech where he spoke about the death of Atatiana Jefferson who was shot and killed by police in her home. This was a repeat offense after they also cut his 2016 speech that shed light on racism and advocated for racial justice in America.Related Stories
