Yo this is not OK... we have to do more. Let me tell you how
This is a song on effective allyship to the Black community. Listen closely

Little did Karen know know know (know know)
Little did Karen know know know (know know)
Now's the time, to stand up and fight
History's being made...so you better do what's right

If it's not coming from, where you can feel
Then you should know, doesn't sound real
If it's not coming straight, from your chest
Then just shut up and stop trying to impress
If it's not coming from deep inside your heart
Then do me a favor, go back to the start
Blackout Tuesday posts, convenient
But don't be fooled into thinkin they real s**t
You involved with the Black community? Or stepped up for diversity
What have you done to change what's current
To stop racism that's occurring? Have you stepped up and spoke
When a friend makes a joke, that you know is disturbing
When a black friend you know? Is going through the hurtin
Did you stop and wonder if it's worth it
If it's worth it, to put your name on the line? Worth it, to carve out the time
Worth it, to stand up, for what's right? Worth it, to stand up, for a crime
And I'll be the first to admit
Though I'm involved, I can do more s**t
It comes with reflection
We all need to learn more lessons
We don't know what its like... so your words of empathy are just tripe
We don't know what its like... so acting you care is nobody's delight
We don't know what its like... and acting like you do won't make the wrong right

Little did Karen know know know (know know)
Little did Karen know know know (know know)
Now's the time, to stand up and fight
History's being made... so you better do what's right

Heavenly Father
Even though I never engaged, in racist jokes or play
I hold myself accountable, for thinking these jokes were OK
Allowing it to happen, is my greatest fault today
The way I stand up for justice, is by responding with something to say
I promise I will no longer, turn the other way
For my black brothers and sisters, are here with me to stay 
And if I see them hurt or bashed, in any kind of way
I need to speak up, in the Lord's name, we pray

Amen

That's it. If you didn't know, now you know
You were given a voice in this life for a reason. Use it
