Using my white privileges
To speak for those who aren't heard
Being aware of unfair structures
While giving voice to the ones hurt
Neither do I have to
Face what you go through
Nor do I need to hide
But I'm by your side
But I'm by your side
Here's my empathy
And solidarity
Here's my empathy
And solidarity
We live under the same sun
Sometimes I still can't believe
What cruelty people achieve
Till there is no other choice but to run
Neither do I have to
Leave everything I know
Nor do I need to hide
But I'm by your side
But I'm by your side
But I'm by your side
But I'm by your side
My efforts
Back then I worked on a farm
Been brought up by a single parenting mom
The woman said she would help me find a job
But went to road work in italy
Returned home to her house
There was somebody wanting this, for sure
How can you build your dreams on my pain?
Instead of school I got tattoed
Don't you know
My efforts
Are huge?
Sure, I wanted some more
But that was all that I swore to them
Now I'm wearing my glasses, for real?
No big drama, no big deal
Don't you know
My efforts
Are huge?
