lyrics

Lyrics:

I got a message today from someone not too far away

I saw that they love what I’m doing

But then I saw what they hate

And it was a product of things mostly out of his control

He was being pretty stupid

So this is what I said to him

“ It’s hard to believe that if I was colorful you wouldn’t love me

And you say don’t even see it

But that doesn’t mean that it’s gone

The scales didn’t come even

If I could pull the privilege out from the pockets of your genes

Would it help you see?

There’s really nothing to say

Nothing can justify hate

And frankly hate’s so much to carry, but sometimes hate’s so hard to bury

You grew up with ideologies that all should rest in pieces

It’s ironic when people act devilish but say they’re following Jesus

The struggle is real even if it isn’t yours

You’ve been stuck inside a painting since the day that you were born

Boy, I bet you’re bored

And your momma, bless her heart, put opinions, which all suck, on the brush

And it’s an ugly little picture

The struggle is real even if it isn’t yours”
