Prejudice tainted your judgment again
You acted on colour of skin
Don't use tired tactics to hide and dismiss
Don't try, don't you lie and you best not deny,
That your bias exists
You lead and you say the magic words
"I hear you, I feel you, your problems are heard"
Then you appoint those who follow old ways
And you give marching orders to challenge all change
You wonder why the streets burn
You question "what have we learned"
Without it they wouldn't be heard
You'd tell them their views absurd
It's time to admit it's real
The pain and the hurt they feel
It's not just overt hate
It's what our world perpetuates
On paper, the words and the codes of law
Are neutral, blind justice we saw
But on the ground enforcement is flawed
More arrest, and more deaths, more pain, and more regret
The truth is so raw
You lead and you say the magic words
"I hear you, I feel you, your problems are heard"
Then you appoint those who follow old ways
And you give marching orders to challenge all change
You wonder why the streets burn
You question "what have we learned"
Without it they wouldn't be heard
You'd tell them their views absurd
It's time to admit it's real
The pain and the hurt they feel
It's not just overt hate
It's what our world perpetuates
More aggression from police
Harsher sentences unleashed
Your policies demotivate
Cut funding then incarcerate
To those who lead, this stops now
Hear their voice, don't tell them how
Need rules with dedication
Not just moves for polling stations
You wonder why the streets burn
You question "what have we learned"
Without it they wouldn't be heard
You'd tell them their views absurd
It's time to admit it's real
The pain and the hurt they feel
It's not just overt hate
It's what our world perpetuates
It's what our world perpetuates
Prejudice tainted your judgment again
You acted on colour of skin
Don't use tired tactics to hide and dismiss
Don't try, don't you lie and you best not deny,
That your bias exists
You lead and you say the magic words
"I hear you, I feel you, your problems are heard"
Then you appoint those who follow old ways
And you give marching orders to challenge all change
You wonder why the streets burn
You question "what have we learned"
Without it they wouldn't be heard
You'd tell them their views absurd
It's time to admit it's real
The pain and the hurt they feel
It's not just overt hate
It's what our world perpetuates
On paper, the words and the codes of law
