lyrics

How do you make a white person care?
Suburban living, willfully unaware
of all the injustice, of that’s unfair.
How do you make a white person care?

How do you make a white person see?
A black man is as beautiful as a shining sea
that God made him from love just like me.
How do you make a white person see?

How do you wake a white person up?
Put something stronger than coffee in his cup,
that makes him confront where his thoughts come from...
How do you wake a white person up?

We’ve got a lot of giving to do,
we've got a lot of giving to do,
for the living
we’ve put others through...
yeah, we've got a lot of giving to do.

How do you make a white person heal?
When his own evil he can’t even feel
the systematic oppression behind the wheel.
How do you make a white person heal?

How do you a white people aware?
That his privilege comes from another’s despair
that he’s never driven by cop and said a prayer.
How do you white people aware?

We’ve got a lot of giving to do,
we've got a lot of giving to do,
for the living
we’ve put others through...
we've got a lot of giving to do.
