lyrics

Straight, white, thin, cis, or rich
You got some privilege
Recognize it
Don’t deny how much
you’re life is different
Are you down? Like the force of gravity?
Or really would you rather be gone?
Don’t be mad at me:
Listen --
When they give their testimonies
And assist them
When they ask for your cojones
Cuz you diss them
Whenever you remain in silence
'bout the violence on their lives
Or you call their protests riots
Well-meaning liberals
-- Left leaning folks
If we criticize you
Then we’re being bitter hoes
You sweet on the outside,
Salty in the middle
Walking 'round the block
Like a McGriddle
So -- will you go the distance?
Or will you vanish in a cloud of smoke like incense?
While brown folks risk things
And they rage against this
Machine built on green
And no you won’t be missed if -- you ain’t REALLY DOWN!

Way down, all the way down

Esta es pa’ las soñadoras
pa las lucha libres
pa las chulas
pa las brujas
pa mamas abuelas hermana tias y primas
para las deportaciones
para las mentiras
pa que tu lo sepas
pueblo unido nadie lo divide
American dreamers
all our cousins aunties uncles sisters brothers
torn apart by these United States
all for one and one for none
when everything is said and done are you really down?

think you’re runnin me?
you’re just runnin out of time
you just run
you just run
you just runnin
you can’t take my dreams

all the way

way down, all the way down
