paroles de chanson Can We Talk - Kfhox

On one hand
The abolition of slavery seemed heaven sent
But when I really think about it
It was just our vision bent
'Cause behind the scenes
It never ended simply shifted gears
And black people went from being in shackles
But now they're crying tears
Behind jail bars while their white counterparts escape
At wakes and funerals for the lives the power elite continues to take
I a white woman in a white man's land where I don't belong
Because I believe black lives DO matter
And I know all of this is wrong
How can we humanity fail to understand
The injustice all around us
And the brotherhood of man?
Look all around you and you might soon see
That I'm a lot more like you
And you're a lot more like me
We have more in common than they'd lead you to believe
I'm just willing to let you know
'Cause my heart is on my sleeve
I can't stand to see another senseless life lost
Why are the ones willing to stand up the ones who pay the cost?
If we could all stand together
They'd have to soon bow down
And they would truly understand who's destined for the crown
Those of good and kindness
Those who practice love
Will rule the world in harmony and we will rise above
But for now I am one
Though I know I'm not alone
So I'm speaking up in a hopeful attempt to somehow set the tone
For conversations about change and what we can do together
Because our division has us blinded
But this can't go on forever
