Washington D.C.’s Crys Matthews’s “How Many More?" explicitly describes just how commonly and openly violence is waged against Black people. It’s hard not to wince listening to the song’s three verses in which Matthews recites impossibly long lists of names of Black persons killed without cause or consequence. These lists are punctuated by the refrain, “How many more marches will it take? How many more days of this until we break? And if you won’t ask how much more could you bear, how many "I can’t breathes" until you care?”
