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
