Did You See What I Saw (The Ballad of Renee Nicole Good)
words & music by Joe Rathburn

Chilly mornin’ Minnesota day
Minneapolis neighborhood
Protesting from her car
Is Renee Nicole Good
She's chillin' as we see her say
That’s fine dude I’m not mad at you
Unaware of the awful thing
That dude was about to do

Did you see what I saw?
Did you see what I saw?
Did you see what I saw?
Did you see what I saw?

Easy goin’ and calm for sure
Renee’s enjoying the show
Two new ICE dudes at her door
She decides that it’s time to go
She backs up for a two-point turn
They’re screamin’ in her left ear
Cranks the wheel to the right to learn
That first dude is standin’ there

CHORUS

Jon Ross looks her in the eyes
She steps on the gas to leave
He has time to step aside
But there's somethin' up his sleeve
All she wants is to get away
Ross pulls his gun instead
Draws a bead on poor Renee and
Pulls the trigger now the woman is dead

Bridge

Now the government’s standin’ by
This terrible thing he did
They’re tellin’ us all a lie
Tryin’ to keep the plain truth hid
They’re tryin’ to save some face
Gaslighting all the way
It's a national disgrace
Every one of them must pay

Did you see what I saw? Yeah! We saw it!
Did you see what I saw?
Did you see what I saw?
Did you see what I saw?

Did you see what I saw? We saw what he did!
Did you see what I saw?
Did you see what I saw?
Did you see what I saw?

Did you see what I saw? We saw what they did!
Did you see what I saw?
Did you see what I saw?
Did you see what I saw?

Well, they've gone and done it again
Alex Pretti was murdered too
Who knows how all this will end
Will they be comin' for me and you?
So keep the cameras rollin' now
Don't let 'em obscure the facts
We'll get through this somehow
Because we've got each other's backs

Did you see what I saw?
