Speak Soft Lyrics

Speak soft

But speak out

Cause your silence is loud

You're just emotional

If you get confrontational

Cause it's not racial, it's just situational

But the outcome changes

If the skin tone ranges

To match the hue of these white washed pages

Of our history books

Cause not all is as it looks

When the transcript is transcribed by self serving crooks

You're not the one

Staring down the gun

So what gives you the right

To tell us how to fight

You're not the one

Who's fighting for your life

So why don't you step back and open up your eyes

Speak soft

But speak up

Cause your silence is violence

Get up and

Get loud

For the voices drowned out

Push back

Against the current of complacency

Cause this ignorance is not bliss

Cause there is no justice

With a people still fighting on their knees

There can't be peace

With a people still begging to breath

You're not the one

Staring down the gun

So what gives you the right

To tell us how to fight

You're not the one

Who's fighting for your life

So why don't you step back and open up your eyes

You're not the one

Staring down the gun

So what gives you the right

To tell us how to fight

You're not the one

Who's fighting for your life

So why don't you step back and open up your eyes
