lyrics

Calling on all our white allies and accomplices
to, uh, step it up!
Chestnut Hill women:
this one's for you.

So you've been through some shit
I'll give you that
but don't start a blog
that's full of crap

In the oppression Olympics
you lose
You may choose to disagree
but it's true

The audacity
of your caucasity
that you pretend
is some disability
like some invisible burden
you bear
you better check yourself
if you care

check yourself, check yourself, check yourself

These women would rather be fake woke
cause you know we'll never be dead broke

In the oppression Olympics
we lose
I would never disagree
cause it's true

The audacity
of my caucasity
rest assured that the irony's
not lost on my
Nevertheless I wil persist
and continue to insist

I love you
I know you
I am you
Now change (repeat)

These women would rather be fake woke
cause you know they'd never be dead broke

Don't miss their shopping at Lululemon
or spending dollars on fresh king salmon
at Whole Foods, y'know

The audacity of your caucasity
that you defend without curiosity
As if your privilege is not there
you better check yourself
if you care

You say you do but do you? Really?
I didn't see you at the women's march
or Black Lives Matter either

I love you
I know you
I am you
Now change

How could you vote for a liar when you knew he's deranged?
C'mon why don't you read a little Baldwin?
I'm hoping you will come around.

I love you
I know you
I am you
Now change

Rocking out is the best therapy after all. ... more
