	We don't have the time to wait White silence perpetuates The wrong end of history It's a god damn mystery Why black lives are even up for a debate Against a violent police state You’re screaming Unity! Unity! Oh the irony Performative actions won’t solve a damn thing Attention! Attention! Read all about it! We're dropping like flies, local punk he doubts it! Attention! Attention! Read all about it! We're dropping like flies, local punk he doubts it! Fundamentally broken Racism inherently woven in Spending Billions on the police Who continue to break down communities And there’s No medicine, no therapy No food, shelter, basic needs No space for art or libraries No money there and yet we lead In prisons inmates and in cops The numbers of those who been shot The victims of the death and violence Nows not the time to be silent Have the awkward conversation Can't reform a broken nation 400 years of lost time This cannot be fixed overnight
