Emma G - Time's Up (For the Bad Stuff)

As if it weren’t a problem
You promised to be honest
You said that you could solve this fear-fueled hate
The tension building higher
You said you’re not a liar
Each word another claim that you’re self-made
Yet it’s broken now
We’ve broken down
Frozen and hopin that things will change
With a thought and a prayer
Still judging every color
Splitting children with their mothers
Refuse to see past the fear
Time's up on the bad stuff
The walls are getting higher
Are you a lover or a fighter?
I don't wanna wait another year
Time's up on the bad stuff
They tell me I am too young
To come up with a solution
I’m sick of the excuses that it can’t be done
I’m inheriting your bias
I’m breaking down the prejudice
I wanna build a future for everyone
Cos it’s broken now
I’m speaking out
I wanna stand up and fight back with more
Than just a thought and a prayer
Still judging every color
Splitting children with their mothers
Refuse to see past the fear
Time's up on the bad stuff
The walls are getting higher
Are you a lover or a fighter?
I don't wanna wait another year
Time's up on the bad stuff
Not made to discriminate
My mama taught me better
It’s a shame that we have to say
You should know better
Still judging every color
Splitting children with their mothers
Refuse to see past the fear
Time's up on the bad stuff
The walls are getting higher
Are you a lover or a fighter?
I don't wanna wait another year
Time's up on the bad stuff
