R&B singer D'Angelo played SNL Saturday, and during the performance members of his band wore shirts displaying the phrases "black lives matter" and "I can't breathe."
The musicians wore the shirts during "The Charade," the second song they played on the show.
The song comes from D'Angelo's latest album, Black Messiah, and speaks of "degradation so loud that you can't hear the sound of our cries." The chorus begins, "all we wanted was a chance to talk/'Stead we only got outlined in chalk."
