Lyrics
So what can we do?
What can we do?
The only thing you can do is get involved
And get involved in the daily grind of helping people and creating change
I think, in America, too often
We think of solutions as having to be home runs
Big ticket items
We want the app that solves everything with one button-press
Or the GoFundMe where if we raise enough money, we stop racism
But that doesn't happen. That's not how change works
That's not how society works
It takes everyone working, everyday to help people and to create a future that you want
America's government is inefficient by design
It was made that way, so that no one person can seize power quickly
And in 2016, that came in very handy
But because it's so inefficient, it takes a lot of energy to create change
And that energy can only come from the people
The whole idea behind America was government for the people, by the people.
So the people need to get involved for this to work
So get involved in the elections
Presidential elections. State elections. City elections
Even your local community board and school board
Which determines what history is taught in the schools
That can directly affect culture
And support their local Asian-American politician,
Who's fighting for a seat at the decision-making table
Create more than you complain
Support that independent Asian-American artist
Hell, support the popular Asian artist too
Even if you don't like what they are doing
Accept that they are helping change the visibility of Asians in America, in their own way
Look at the long game and the bigger picture
Instead of hating on individuals for the sake of hating
Because the infighting in the community doesn't help
Support the grassroots organizations providing legal support to vulnerable people in the community, and organizing communities politically
We need to attack the problem from within and outside the system, using the existing American government and legal infrastructure-
As well as media, culture and technology
Don't lose hope
There's more good people than bad people
