"I don't want to be history" I hope in the future nobody has to know what it feels like to see your home and family and friends on the news To hear you are a tragedy But you're still here Still want to go shopping and sing and go to your friend's house I hope nobody understands what it means when the phones and internet go down I was so scared and we didn't even have bombs raining down I hope nobody is treated like a foregone conclusion Because of where they're from or their skin colour I don't want revenge-- I want a reckoning I want to end the era of white men in suits, for good |
