They gave us a gun and called it freedom

They gave us a gun and called it freedom So when you tell me you care I dont believe you Your performative allyship And yes talking to you white liberals This 'white saviour' act you've got going on You can end it And stop pretending Let's call it what it is It's your guilt manifesting as being seen as 'progressive' But really it's just you trying to be The 'centre of attention' Because it was never about us It was about proving that you are better than white Conservatives But in reality you're just as bad or even worse Because you fake activism Just to boost your ego But we see right through you If you cared about black lives matter You would do better By letting go of your pride and ego Instead of boasting on social media How about you educate yourself On the real problem like racism Instead of boosting your platform Instead of posting a black screen How about rallying behind black communities Let them take the reins Whilst simultaneously still supporting Because contrary to popular belief Not everything is about you But your Whiteness is a privilege we don't have So the best act of real activism Is actually you using your white privilege To get us Justice Because that's real allyship So instead of giving us a gun and calling it freedom How about you stand up against racism and help us get freedom Instead of making fake promises
