Say It

from See In Color by Ruckus Aquinas

/

lyrics

Day after day we hear folks
Say it’s not okay
That is if they’re not afraid to
Say it’s not okay
Every time we use our voice
We make ignoring it not a choice
So it’s time to say that this is not okay

If you do not see in color
That is not okay
It means you don’t see the other
Ways you’re causing pain
Any kind of colorblindness
Leads to a multitude of crisis
And if you would see it then you’d see it's not okay

I’m sorry it took so long
To see it’s not okay
And that it took even longer
To say it

To say it’s not okay
To say that I’m ashamed
To say things need to change
To find another way
To say I’m not okay
With knowing that my race
Might make a difference
With where it is I’m placed
To say I’m not okay
With debts we cannot pay
From livelihoods we stole
Back then and still today
To say that we will say this
Again and again
And we will try to change it
We will try to change it
We will try to change it
As best as we can
