You get it – what is racism?
What do you do about it
Face the racism
How do you deal with racism?
Kick the racism
How do you deal with racism?
Kick the racism
Kick the racism
When people stand by
Doing nothing while it happens
Their actions
We must examine
Nothings has changed in our communities
A lasting effect
If we can think unity
The act of individuals
To make a real movement
Create real change
Stand proud and prove it
You’re not better than me
You’re equal to me
Not above you
I’m always beside you
CHORUS
Still working
To stop the problem today
The power’s with you
So what you gonna say?
Still working
To stop the problem today
The power’s with you
So what you gonna say?
Excuse me
Your ignorance is showing
Please put it away
It’s not the way we’re going
It’s quite ugly & I find it offensive
It’s not the way to go
If you want to be respected
How would you feel, if I said that to you?
Now nothing has changed
And we haven’t moved through
To stand and connect
Cause we’re all the same man
My race does not define me – it is who I am
Back up ok
What’s all the concern?
I’m next come on man
Please wait your turn
This is not about respect
Though your lack is a concern
There’s room for everybody
So let’s get along first
Why is everything your saying so racist?
Do understand how I’m feeling it’s basic
Do you accept this part of the norm?
I didn’t think it’d be a problem for us anymore?
CHORUS
Still working
To stop the problem today
The power’s with you
So what you gonna say?
Still working
To stop the problem today
The power’s with you
So what you gonna say?
You’re the only one that’s bringing it up friend
Because you’re so bothered with my place of origin
Next time when you’re stepping out to play
Think about how others feel if you got something say?
Now you know what this is sounding like
The crap from your mouth not’s sounding right
We can stand strong
Instead of going head on.
There’s nothing wrong
Tackle it and move on
CHORUS
Still working
To stop the problem today
The power’s with you
So what you gonna say?
Still working
To stop the problem today
The power’s with you
So what you gonna say?
Stop with negativity
In your vicinity
Stand up for unity
Not just for you and me
The things you’re doing now
With your life do count
Time to own this moment
Time to take account
Your individual actions
Influence the actions
When other people like
Promoting dysfunction
Now it’s time to be part of something else
Bigger than yourself
Time to prove oneself
Come on!
Racism
Why does it exist?
We are the same
Why does this exist
It’s time for change
What you say matters
