Us white allies for Black Lives Matter are an important part of the process. However, we must be very careful not to take over the conversation. We are doing enough just by participating. We need to step back, kill the dissension and shut up and listen.

lyrics

The country burns, the rubble under our feet
Protesters are tear gassed out in the street
Now the city's under the boot of the national guard
Like back in the day when you'd be feathered and tarred
Militant police impose illegal curfews
Serve and protect? Only the fortunate few
But this time it's different, somehow worse than before
It feels like this one hurts just a little bit more
The streets belong to all her citizens
Let their voices be heard or it'll be torn down again
It's fine to be an ally, and even a friend
We should stand as one until the bitter end
Right now whites need to kill the dissension
Pass the mic to the oppressed and shut up and listen
