lirik lagu brooksofyork - work
i see it now we were never equals
color blind to red lines and sequels
are we staring at or are we the ghost
of promises made and broke?
every civil right defines a loophole
our history isn’t white washed it’s soaked
we say their names, but it’s not justice just prose
pretty words don’t fix almost
do the work. do the work. do the work
look at yourself and do it first
own it even when it hurts
take apart the machine
do the work. do thе work. do the work
are we morе than sentiment and words?
don’t act like it’s none of your concern
like it’s if’s and only’s
implicit bias and fragility show
will you put your privilege to work or let it grow?
we can’t ally on the right side of wrong
skip the bullsh~t which side will you be on?
no more names, cut the context. you know
we can’t defend or pretend to condone
we stole the land then used their backs to build it all
make it make sense. i’m waiting. let me hear you talk
be the beacon. be the fire. be the bold
(we) cannot turn a blind eye here anymore
what you’re seeing, what you’re saying, is it old?
embrace your conscience and amplify it all
what they say and what you hear are not the same fight
is it our privilege that keeps you mute and uptight?
if you’re not uncomfortable i think you’re on the wrong side
you can learn to change
face it all
