I can't breathe
I can't breathe
I can't breathe
I can't breathe
Why is it so hard to talk about white privilege
Why is it hard
It's hard because it makes you uncomfortable as a white person

Don't f*ck with the police and they won't f*ck with you
I believe it to be true
For folks who look like you
You have a gun and they trained you how to use it
And there is no confusion
When folks don't look like you
When folks don't look like you

Everyone stands behind you when your speak your mind
As long as their mind is what you believe is true
But you can see the knee that ends the time
And takes away
A life before it's due
How does this not matter to you
A life before it's due
How does this not matter to you

A strong black man with no place to stand
Turned to a whisper on your command
A thin white voice ignores that choice
And when he dies
You don't understand
The anger that threatens your demands
And when you silence it
You silence every human

In that space place your face as you live in your
Privileged world so true
Would you replace anger and rage
If that knee was taking the last breathe from you

Would you not stand up
When you've had enough
Would you see through
The folks who don't look like you

You see you're lucky that no one seeks revenge
All while you pretend
For folks who look like you
For the folks who look like you

George Floyd
Say his name
George Floyd
Say his name
George Floyd
Say his name
George Floyd

You see, you are lucky
No one's seeking any revenge
They just want the opportunities you've received
Equality
All while you pretend that everything isn't really happening
Because it protects the folks who look like you

Folks who look like you

I really, really want us to walk away from here
Feeling ok being uncomfortable
Because once we get past that
And we get past feeling awkward
And we get past feeling defensive
We can get to real change
And that's all we want
Disrupting your white privilege doesn't hurt you
