Oh Canada

Oh Canada, I stand on guard for a lot

But just last week, a white girl was shot

Outside a shopping mall, yeah, it's written in the press

That your sweet little town has lost its innocence

It's not the year of the gun, we don't say it out loud

There are no headlines when a black girl dies

It's not the lack of a sense, it's called ambivalence

All in their lanes, under rush hour lights

There's one head to a car, but you act so surprised

When the snow don't come, you can't swim in the lakes

Now it's hotter than hell in a bed you won't make

It's not the lack of a sense, it's called ambivalence

Up on the hill is the best real estate

Baby, just to get in, you've got to sell off your faith

‘Cause in the valley below, there is crack and young girls

You don't have to believe what stays out of your world

It's not the year of the gun, we don't say it out loud

There are no headlines when a black girl dies

It's not the lack of a sense, it's called ambivalence
