It’s a new day dawning yet we’re still living in the past Embracing colonialism and saving the rest for last You know, the rest meaning the other cultures because you think they don’t matter But it’s time for that glass of classism and racism to shatter It’s funny how when I go to University I’m rarely taught by people who look like me No matter how much the white lecturers may try, they will never understand my cultural identity So don’t get mad if I doze off in your lecture because I just can’t relate If I speak up I may start the great debate Learning about Ancient Greeks and those who lived in Rome is fine But what about the indigenous people of the Caribbean or stories of what went through the slave’s mind? University is more than just learning about what makes Western culture great There’s more to this world that we can truly celebrate America and Haiti both had a revolution So if we want to make a change we need to come up with a solution It’s a new day dawning and we plan to decolonise Despite our obstacles, we will rise
