Jobs Over Gestures Lyrics by Ryan Parker

2020

[Verse 1]
LeBron says he's a social justice warrior online
Even though he dunks and dribbles balls with all his time
He says that he wants black people to all be treated fair
While he gets rich from Nike based on all the shoes they wear
[Verse 2]
Shoes are made in China, where the labor is so cheap
Wouldn't it be nice if America could keep
Those jobs in our country? This would help our people more
Than if he virtue-signals while our population's poor
[Chorus]
We want jobs over gestures, tell those Wall Street investors
It's time for America to care about our own
We want jobs over gestures, this would honor our ancestors
A lot more than 'I Can't Breathe' shirts or autonomous zones
We want jobs over gestures, 'cause unemployment festers
And creates a desperation that just leads to more protesters
So LeBron, quit those corporations, see if they could see
To jobs over gestures, 'cause that's all we really need
[Verse 3]
Kaepernick made millions when he dropped and took a knee
That's a lot more than he would have made as a backup QB
He says he wants police reform, but calls that they are racist
There's much more to this story than the color of our faces
[Verse 4]
If black lives really matter, then black jobs would matter too
'Cause a person with a family and job has more to lose
Those jobs are all in Asia, where they manufacture gear
Then Nike sells to all of us, so we can protest here
[Outro]
So Kaepernick, take a stand on corporation greed
For jobs over gestures, 'cause that's all we really need
