Текст песни One step forward - Sol y Canto

I used to think, a long time ago, equality would surely come
After all, it was written down when our nation was young
We're all created equal, endowed by our Creator, bla bla bla
All we had to do was figure out how to get along

Now we've got white rage rampage
Late-stage social fragmentation
And we're still trying to make good on that Declaration

One step forward, one step back
One step forward, one step back
How we gonna get anywhere like that?
Un paso pa' lante, un paso pa' atrás
Un paso pa' lante, un paso pa' atrás

You'd think that with our history of slavery and genocide
We'd want to recognize the ways we've pushed humanity aside
But some think it's their duty protecting tender white kids
It might upset them to talk about the things their forebears did

So now they ban books, burn books
Trash books, everything but read them
Tell me, where are the historians when we need them?

One step forward, one step back
One step forward, one step back
How we gonna get anywhere like that?
Un paso pa' lante, un paso pa' atrás
Un paso pa' lante, un paso pa' atrás
How we gonna get anywhere like that?
Un paso pa' lante, un paso pa' atrás
Un paso pa' lante, un paso pa' atrás
Un paso pa' lante, un paso pa' atrás
Un paso pa' lante, un paso pa' atrás
