Pulled over again 
Roll windows down
Begin to pray 
Hope those around won't look away 
Will a camera out
Protect me from
What feels like fate
Or will injustice get its way? 

But wait 
That's not me
My skin's my shield 
Protects from hate
I am safe 
A system built for me
Upholds my privilege
And kills to stay this way

Don't you ever say White privilege has gone away 
If you've never been afraid
At a police stop
Where you do exactly as they say
Pleading "don't shoot" as you obey

But wait 
That's not me
My skin's my shield 
Protects from hate
I am safe 
A system built for me
Upholds my privilege
And kills to stay this way

I'm so upset again 
Rage and tears
Are on my face 
What will I do to make a change?
How long?
How long must we sing this song?
Lamenting evil here to stay

But wait 
I can't just sing 
Must use this shield 
And stand in hatred's way 
Cannot play safe 
Attack a system built for me
Abhor my privilege 
Kill ignorance and hate

Pulled over again
Roll windows down
Begin to pray
Hope those around won't look away
