When To Stop Talking About It (Intermission)

(album: I'm Not A Mother, But I Have Children - 2021)

When to stop talking about it:
When they make an arrest?
(No!)
When the case is dismissed?
(No!)
When the people in power make promises
We know that they've never kept?
(No!)
When the news switches up
'Cause they only make money by selling new death?
(No!)
When our friends quiet down
Back to being clowns on the internet?
(Ass, ass, ass)
'Cause that's what they want
(Yup!)
They want us to lose our breath
They want us on Percocet
They want us to just forget
Until one day we wake up and a new sidewalk is red
Movements that stop and rest
They never win
Never stop talking about it
(Yup!)
Not even if racism ends
(Freedom!)
Not even if we wake up in a trip
And the whole world is holding hands
(What's happening?)
Never stop talking about it
The present's already the past
And if we stop talking about it
This time won't be the last...
