letra de #conversationstarter - the furious sjw
[chorus]
i’m just trying to start a conversation
about prejudice and discrimination
the truth will reveal itself through communication
so let’s talk for our mutual education
i’m just trying to start a conversation
about gender and s-xual orientation
the truth will reveal itself through our combination
so let me talk until you see that you’re mistaken
[verse]
my songs are valuable because they start conversations?
i hope that if my heartfelt creations can
impart information and spark a revelation
so we can break through the compartmentalizations in society
so don’t try to silence me, let’s not perpetuate
the conditions that have inst-tutionalized systemic hate
let’s erase this dialectic slate and use
conversation to de-escalation our fruitless rivalries
but hold your inquiries, this conversation can’t be effective
until my side has been adequately protected
you have a privileged perspective
so you can’t be objective, no matter how hard you try to be
it might sound like irony, but in our current system?
dialogs should only give voices to victims
you don’t get a turn because you’re in a powerful position
so sit there and listen quietly!
[chorus]
i’m just trying to start a conversation
between white people, black bodies and asians
the truth will reveal itself through communication
so let’s talk for our mutual education
i’m just trying to start a conversation
about microaggressions and racism
the truth will reveal itself through our combination
so let’s talk until you see that you’re mistaken
[verse]
you know what i’m tired of? when the privileged
impose themselves into marginalized dialog
it’s a total denial of all the
systemic systems that maintain hegemony
fundamentally, if you talk back to a
marginalized neighbour, you take her time and
emotional labour. you should pay her
to help carry the burden of her marginalized ident-ty
you essentially have so much ent-tlement?
you can’t just listen to us and be silent?
your freedom of speech is literally violent
be quiet and stop oppressing me
you are the enemy. we f-cking hate you
we don’t have the time to debate you or to try to
persuade you. it isn’t my job to educate you
so f-ck you and f-ck white supremacy!
[bridge]
this is exactly the kind of reaction you shouldn’t have to lived experiences of discrimination
why do privileged people always try to defend themselves against my accusations?
why do white men slander everyone else with their cruel generalizations?
this is how the dominant cl-ss tries to shut down conversations
[chorus]
i’m just trying to start a conversation
about trigger warnings and cultural appropriation
we just need to share some information
so let’s talk for our mutual education
i’m just trying to start a conversation
about manspreading and objectification
but your voice leads to my dehuminization
so let me talk until you admit that you’re mistaken
