Get To Work

I'll be the first to admit that I once Had an obnoxious need to be The loudest voice in the room or the life of the party Nowadays all I want is for my big mouth to shut up As far as I see for folks like me It is time to take a seat And move aside we've overstayed our turn Give space for the voices that need to be heard It's so long overdue Watching cities burn As we inhale the fumes Why is it only when the sickness takes hold Do we take the suffering to heart and want to make it our own? Safeguarded by good intentions Convinced to be wholeheartedly invested At convenience progress can be paused By easily removing yourself from the dialogue Beyond my fragility I see how white supremacy Has informed every aspect of my world As uncomfortable as the truth is There's no more fucking excuses You know what needs to be done, now get to You know what needs to be done, now get to You know what needs to be done, now get to work
