about

Betray Whiteness is track 8 off Ashera's second album, Rob the Rich.

lyrics

When a room you walk in, does everyone share your skin?
Do you get harassed and more, when you walk through a store?
When you’re in a bank do they run, or is there a hand on a gun?
When you walk home at night, do people see a criminal in flight?

Can you see what’s happening?
Is that just skin on your bones?
Do you see what’s happening?
Is that just skin on your bones?

When sirens you hear, does your skin make you fear?
If a cop cruises by, do you expect to die?
If you look at a cop, does it mean you’ll get stopped?
If you get stopped is there bail, or do you expect to go to jail?

Can you see what’s happening?
Is that just skin on your bones?
Do you see what’s happening?
Is that just skin on your bones?

Heed the call for reparations, topple kings from their thrones,
and betray the white skin on your bones.
The Queen of Diamonds is screaming "off with their heads
give me cake and they can have bread.
Give me cake and maybe they can have some bread."

Can you see what’s happening?
Is that just skin on your bones?
Don’t you see what’s happening?
Is that white skin on your bones?

Betray your whiteness
Betray your whiteness
Betray your whiteness
Betray your whiteness
Betray your whiteness
Betray your whiteness
Betray your whiteness
