Lyrics
I love that I remember, you hate that you forget
I was raised to surrender, you were raised to regret
You should tell me a little story but the version I select
Then you will see
You've overstated and you've overstayed
We don't want reparations we only want change
So you offer your cheek but you turn the other way
So you never have to see you never have to mean a thing
You offer platitudes of sorrow, it becomes about you feeling bad
You can sit down tomorrow and see the yesterdays we've had
They're there for your enjoyment, you can never see us getting mad
I should just let it be
So that all this can continue it's the way it's always been
There's a million fish inside this ocean, only one has learned to swim
He knows how this will turn out, so we throw it all to Him
So we're not to blame
You've overstated and you've overstayed
We don't want reparations we only want change
So you offer your cheek but you turn the other way
So you never have to see you never have to mean a thing
Tonight we let our National Guard down
Our kids don't know who they are now
We're broke, just trying to sell out
It's time we learn to fight for ourselves
Instead of waiting for everyone else
To get what we're talking about
You've overstated and you've overstayed
We don't want reparations we only want change
So you offer your cheek but you turn the other way
So you never have to see you never have to mean a thing
