The time has passed / For you to own your fucking privilege / The crimes amassed / The knife you use has such a dull edge / Take their rights away / Deny them equal pay / And respect / Force them toward a breakdown / A reproductive shakedown / Then deflect / The time has passed / For you to make your empty promise / Black hands, they’re clasped / Then by the millions raise their fists / Staring in the mirror
Everything gets clearer / Lily white / Given all the good breaks / Playing games with low stakes / It’s not right / You can’t relate / Or suffer them this fate / What use is hate? / When all you do is tear them down / And raze their towns / And wonder why they’ve hit this cold, hard ground / Pretending like you’ve no big part to play / Oppression with a smile / It’s not your fucking child / Gunned down / Excessive use of force / Is justified of course / If he's brown / Money, gender, race, religion / All the things that you’ve been given / Punish those that just don’t fit in / Now’s the time to give in to the truth
