We are all the problem when we don't make sure that our children are safe going to the public school, to prison pipeline. We are all the problem when we don't hold school, our children, after school. We are all the problem when we lay down and expect somebody else to do the work for us. We are all the problem when we don't stand up to oppression. We are all the problem if we go back into slavery. That makes us all the problem." Aus Songtexte Mania
