“Why Aren’t You Angry” is a single released by Ekoh on June 22, 2020.
The song talks about the general state of America up until mid-2020 (when the song was released), and the torrent of shocking events that have taken place in the country and around the world.
[Chorus]
Why aren't you angry?
Why aren't you looking around?
Why aren't you upset?
Why aren't you thinking out loud?
What is you scared huh?
Don't want to take that stance
Yeah, it's safe while you sit in the stands right?
Why aren't you angry?
If you've been looking around
Why aren't you upset?
Why aren't you thinking out loud?
What is you scared huh?
Don't want to take that stance
Yeah, it's safe while you sit in the stands right?
[Verse 1]
Fuck the system the status and keeping peace
Political activists only active in a tweet
When there's black people dying at the hands of the police
But it's only talked about when there's riots in the streets
And we fight back
See they discriminate and type cast
When we say that all cops are bad they don't like that
And now the gap between the have's and have not's
Are bigger than its ever been it feels like it can't stop
The unemployment: the highest we've ever seen
And administrations poor management of a disease
Now we see through this shit
Another Wall Street bailout
But can't afford to fund the inner city's getting teared down?
And all we hear are these entitled fucks
"You're taking this too serious, hey whiten up"
Thinking everything will change if Biden won
You motherfuckers think the only problem is Trump
But who am I to speak?
White male in America
Made a living off of black culture
I'm aware of it
Try and check the privilege I have
And educate myself to understand best I can and demonstrate it, yeah
Now homie take a look around
You think there ain't a problem, you just ain't been affected
Like what's it gonna take for you to see it now?
'Cause it's so obvious that I don't fucking get it
[Chorus]
Why aren't you angry?
Why aren't you looking around?
Why aren't you upset?
Why aren't you thinking out loud?
What is you scared huh?
Don't want to take that stance
Yeah, it's safe while you sit in the stands right?
Why aren't you angry?
If you've been looking around
Why aren't you upset?
Why aren't you thinking out loud?
What is you scared huh?
Don't want to take that stance
Yeah, it's safe while you sit in the stands right?
[Verse 2]
Now marijuana's an essential business
But we still keeping people locked up on a bogus sentence
How the fuck do you explain that?
All the privatized prisons making billions off of they backs
Fit the line in the pockets and they don't line it up
If it increases profits then go and lock them up
Don't wanna see another tweet from Donald Trump
In all caps lock trying to pander to these stupid fucks
You know, the ones who think global warming's fake
But they want to spend money militarizing space
Built a wall on the border to keep you safe
When the health care and education here is a disgrace
And then the clickbait generation media
Saying anything they gotta say so you read it huh?
And both sides never speaking the truth
The got a view and they pushing that agenda to you
[Chorus]
Why aren't you angry?
Why aren't you looking around?
Why aren't you upset?
Why aren't you thinking out loud?
What is you scared huh?
Don't want to take that stance
Yeah, it's safe while you sit in the stands right?
Why aren't you angry?
If you've been looking around
Why aren't you upset?
Why aren't you thinking out loud?
What is you scared huh?
Don't want to take that stance
Yeah, it's safe while you sit in the stands right?
[Verse 3]
Poor neighborhoods being gentrified
Only open-minded when that shits incentivized
They spraying food with chemicals and pesticides
And y'all still worried about are people identify?
How you gonna feel when you start to see
Mentally ill still can't get the help they need?
They making bills for pharmaceutical companies
While the homeless rates skyrockets to the next degree
Hold up, oh shit
It's America only corporate socialism
Always talking immigration how it needs revision
When we're the ones who got the cages that they putting kids in
I love this country with my whole heart
But I'm mad cause I know that we're better than this
Yeah, it's rough but it's a place to start
If you really do care what the flag represents
Why aren't you angry?
