lyrics

How useful when the racists identify themselves
Never more skulking around trying to figure it out
How useful when the racists identify ourselves
Never more skulking around trying to figure it out

How uncomfortable it must be, How uncomfortable it must be
To realize, all your life, you didn't know, you didn't know
Why you have a job, why you have a house, why you have security
Why you have a job, why you have a house, why you have security
Why you trust the law, why you trust the cops, why you trust your safety
Why you trust the law, why you trust the cops, why you trust your safety

Take the little bit of space you have and let's make it free, let's make it free
Take the little bit of space you have and let's make it free, let's make it free

From the invisibilized, to hyper visibilized, I see you, you see me
From the hyper visibilized to the invisibilized, I see you, you see me
Because you can't just choose dignity, you gotta fight for it
You don’t have the right because you have it on paper, you have to fight for it


How uncomfortable it must be, How uncomfortable it must be
To realize, all your life, you didn't know, you didn't know
Why you have a job, why you have a house, why you have security
Why you have a job, why you have a house, why you have security
Why you trust the law, why you trust the cops, why you trust your safety
Why you trust the law, why you trust the cops, why you trust your safety

Take the little bit of space you have and let's make it free, let's make it free
Take the little bit of space you have and let's make it free, let's make it free
