It's Time

When will we see this promised change?
We've been waiting so long, it's strange
To think that we would be okay
With more discussion and more delay
While our breath is getting crushed
The privileged will not be rushed
Trapped in the comfort of their lives
They can't see the lies

It's time for something meaningful
It's time to hold folks accountable
It's time for something incredible
Because everybody knows that it's time

The burden always falls to us
That's what systemic oppression does
And while we toil through our lives
We'll call out the lies each time

It's time for something memorable
It's time for something historical
It's time and it's unstoppable
Because everybody knows that it's time

So why isn't now the time for change?
To think we'd wait anymore is deranged
Don't be the Devil's advocate
Don't lecture us about etiquette
The burden always falls on us
Well that's what systemic oppression does
And while we know not the future
One thing we do know for sure is it's time
Yes, you should know for sure that it's time
