Lyrics for America Is Listening

The voice of history speaks louder than silence Because the language of the unheard is insurrection And any examination of black music Is an examination of the relationship between black and white America We are in the streets, and if they ask you to remain silent What is your role in the face of oppression? This message is being recorded
