Listen
I have a question for those present tonight
Who died and made us king
Sitting on piles of wealth atop bones
Bones of enslaved and disenfranchised people
How the fuck can you sleep at night
Waking, slandering humans asking for rights
You speak;
"Progressing past systemic slavery takes time"
A step in the right direction each year
Will take centuries to walk a mile
Progress is not enough
Progress placates shouting voices
Progress appeases protesting after leaders become martyrs
America was founded by stealing rights
America's foundation can never be right
America is still enslaving and stealing rights
America is still waiting on progress
We need to listen and learn to follow
Learn to follow
Learn to follow
Who died and made us king
Sitting on piles of wealth atop bones
Bones of enslaved and disenfranchised people
How the fuck can you sleep at night
Waking, slandering humans asking for rights
You speak;
"Progressing past systemic slavery takes time"
A step in the right direction each year
Will take centuries to walk a mile
Progress is not enough
Progress placates shouting voices
Progress appeases protesting after leaders become martyrs
America was founded by stealing rights
America's foundation can never be right
America is still enslaving and stealing rights
America is still waiting on progress
We need to listen and learn to follow
Learn to follow
Learn to follow
