paroles de chanson When... (Is it OK to be Black) - Desmond

I'm so tired of acting like I'm ok
When I ain't
It's not my fault when God made me
He used paint
I'm tired of broken promises
And the same
With all the dollars you made off us
You can't give back no change

I protest
You mad
Even Peacefully
You still mad
Now I'm mad
Now you scared
So when I'm shot
You don't care
A dog dies
You sad
But if I'm killed
I must have
Caused it
On myself
How did that makes sense so tell me

When is it OK to do this
When is it OK to do that
When is it OK to be me
When is it OK to be Black

When is it OK to do this
When is it OK to do that
When is it OK to be me
When is it OK to be Black

One knee went down in peace
The 2nd knee said I can't breathe
Guess which one made America mad
You guessed it
The first knee
You see the protest
You feel the unrest
I must confess I guess you paid attention
To raised fists

I protest
You mad
Even Peacefully
You still mad
Now I'm mad
Now you scared
So when I'm shot
You don't care
A dog dies
You sad
But if I'm killed
I must have
Caused it
On myself
How did that makes sense so tell me

When is it OK to do this
When is it OK to do that
When is it OK to be me
When is it OK to be Black

When is it OK to do this
When is it OK to do that
When is it OK to be me
When is it OK to be Black

This song goes out to all those that have fallen
To police brutality and racism black lives matter moment of silence

When is it OK to do this
When is it OK to do that
When is it OK to be me
When is it OK to be Black

When is it OK to do this
When is it OK to do that
When is it OK to be me
When is it OK to be Black

When is it ok
When is it ok
When is it ok
When is it ok
When is it ok
When is it ok
When is it ok
When is it ok

Uhh you know what scratch that we ain't asking no more
