Yeah this song is about Freedom. Shit needs to change. Stop the nonsense
lyrics
Please Mr Officer
Please explain what you have done
You should put down your weapons now
But you're already shot your gun
You say he posed a threat
and that he could not be detained
So you pulled the trigger
you shot him down
Now his wife and kid will never be the same
No sir I am not like you
We see the world through different eyes
But I am part of the problem too
For White Privilege is all I ever knew
The fools call him Nigger
They say he's different
But he's just like you and me
He has bones that break
and he bleeds and breathes
So what gives you the right to think
you can draw your gun with no consequence
that you can profile on disgrace him
or even kill a man
for the color of his skin
No sir I am not like you
We see the world through very different minds
But I am part of the problem too
For White Privilege is all I ever knew
They say that times have changed
and we're progressing still
But I see a revolution coming
Of our social justice and our free will
To treat each other equal
That dream was started long ago
But to see what we're becoming
It seems we have many miles left to go
No sir I am not like you
We see the world through different eyes
But I am part of the problem too
For White Privilege is all I ever knew
