We Need To Talk About It - Ben Harper (班哈伯)

Lyrics by：Ben Harper

Composed by：Ben Harper

Slavery

We need to talk about it

I say Black Lives Matter

'Cause history says we don't

You're either a Christian or a racist

You can't be both

Slavery

We need to talk about it

What does it say about America

What does it say about Africa

What does it say about all of us

Whoever said time heals all wounds

Wasn't a slave I'm guessing

Hundreds of years

That's just too long of a lesson

What does it say about the buyer

What does it say about the seller

What does it say about all of us

How does a ghost forgive

How are we supposed to live

With 12 million taken

Not one single reparation

What does it say about forgiveness

What does it say about compassion

About justice

About fairness

About the law and the land

About then

What does it say about now
