Conversation

from It Used To Be A City by Anthony Oscar

/

lyrics

If I hear even one more time,
“We just need a conversation.”
There’s people dying all the time
& we need more than just a conversation

Tin soldiers coming, but something’s missing
‘cause now we’re used to all their lying
this summer it feels no different
Nine dead in South Carolina

Some people blame the government
& some government blames the people
Who’s going to stop all this hate?
Now that a boy shot up a steeple

Might be a wolf or a lost sheep
Either way the trouble is systemic
Racism is a disease
& it’s always been epidemic

I can’t say more than I know
but all this hatred has got to go
intimidation
demonization
mass incarceration
oppression
racism
this conversation is about to blow
