lyrics

As kids we are taught
What to do when on fire
And if your life’s threatened
Call up the police line

The narrative tells us we’ll be safe and protected
Sadly not the case if you are black and wear a hoodie
The bulge of candy in your pocket mistaken for a gun
Wonder if there’s grounds to sue the candy maker?
This is an outrage when those paid to protect us
Only reflect bias and discriminative action
This is an outrage when those paid to serve us
Behave in ways that only serve their fragile egos

Sadly, we must ask...
Who is there for you?
Who is there for you?
Who is there for you?
Sadly, we must ask...
Who is there for you?
Who is there for you?
Who is there for you?

Answering this question means unpacking tragic history
Our police force stems not from Brits but from slave patrols
If this isn’t publicly acknowledged or admitted
How can we expect to see improvements to its legacy?
The first step in righting wrongs means admitting your failings
It’s not easy, fun, or fancy, but it must be done
I’ll be the first to admit I have unconscious racial preference
I saw this when I took an online test
I hate this aspect about myself, but I will own up to it
Take this flaw and fight it by studying and reading and listening and having conversations that are not easy

Sadly, we must ask...
Who is there for you?
Who is there for you?
Who is there for you?
Sadly, we must ask...
Who is there for you?
Who is there for you?
Who is there for you?

Sadly, we must ask...
Who is there for you?
Who is there for you?
Who is there for you?
Who is there for you?
