Dear White Son
Dear White son, Dear white father, brother
I love you but sorry not sorry.
America gave you a leg up, steps forward.
It’s time, time for you to listen, that your journey is not ours.
Those who are female,
Those who are black, brown, those behind the whites.
Dear White son, Dear white father, brother
I love you but sorry not sorry.
America gave you a leg up, steps forward.
I am a woman.
I have not gone mad.
I have become educated, knowledgeable, powerful, sad.
Fucking furious as Sophie Heawood.
Dear White son, Dear white father, brother
I love you but sorry not sorry.
America gave you a leg up, steps forward.
It’s not easy to make it in your Daddy’s world,
This man’s club of founding fathers,
Can you hear me,
Can you hear me,
Can you hear the brown and black voices,
Can you hear?
Can you do better?
We can do better.
Dear White son, Dear white father, brother
I love you but sorry not sorry.
America gave you a leg up, steps forward.
Can you see?
See, 75% black brown verses 17% white taken
Taken out by police.
Let’s talk about these games,
Games on these streets.
We gotta question this system
Dear White son, Dear white father, brother
I love you but sorry not sorry.
America gave you a leg up, steps forward.
It’s time to stop fighting change.
What are you afraid of?
Poverty?
Whatta you gotta lose?
