Its on you by Emily Lyrics
[Intro]
*Choir vocalizing*
Oooh
Call it what it is
Call it what it is
[Verse 1]
Oh, it’s not your fault
That it’s under your skin
And you’ve been spoon-fed
All the words you’ve been using up
To brush it off
But a king doesn’t earn
The crown on his head from hard work
It’s in his blood instead
And the jewels aren’t his
They’ve never been
[Chorus]
It’s on you
It’s on you to flush it out of your system
To sit down, shut up, and listen
Oh, you should be mad as hell
Oh, ooh, hey
Oh, ooh, hey
[Verse 2]
Call it what it is
Saving face can’t save a life
And things are not “just crazy,”
It’s white supremacy
Oh, the story of your arrest
Isn’t a party trick
Cause far too often for the innocent
Those lead to their last breath
[Chorus]
And it’s on you
It’s on you to flush it out of your system
To sit down, shut up, and listen
Oh, you should be mad as hell
Oh, ooh, hey
Oh, ooh, hey
[Bridge]
It’s on you to tear down the walls that
Built you up but kept others out
And use those bricks you have
To pave a better road
It’s on you to tear down the walls that
Built you up but kept others out
And use those bricks you have
To pave a better road
[Chorus]
And it’s on you
It’s on you to flush it out of your system
To sit down, shut up, and listen
Oh, you should be mad as hell
Oh, ooh, hey
Oh, ooh, hey
[Outro]
And it’s on you (Call it what it is)
It’s on you
It’s on you (Call it what it is)
And it’s on me too
And it’s on you (Call it what it is)
It’s on you
It’s on you (Call it what it is)
And it’s on me too, oh
*Choir vocalizing*
Call it what it is, call it what it is
Call it what it is, call it what it is
*Choir vocalizing*
Oooh
Call it what it is
Call it what it is
[Verse 1]
Oh, it’s not your fault
That it’s under your skin
And you’ve been spoon-fed
All the words you’ve been using up
To brush it off
But a king doesn’t earn
The crown on his head from hard work
It’s in his blood instead
And the jewels aren’t his
They’ve never been
[Chorus]
It’s on you
It’s on you to flush it out of your system
To sit down, shut up, and listen
Oh, you should be mad as hell
Oh, ooh, hey
Oh, ooh, hey
[Verse 2]
Call it what it is
Saving face can’t save a life
And things are not “just crazy,”
It’s white supremacy
Oh, the story of your arrest
Isn’t a party trick
Cause far too often for the innocent
Those lead to their last breath
[Chorus]
And it’s on you
It’s on you to flush it out of your system
To sit down, shut up, and listen
Oh, you should be mad as hell
Oh, ooh, hey
Oh, ooh, hey
[Bridge]
It’s on you to tear down the walls that
Built you up but kept others out
And use those bricks you have
To pave a better road
It’s on you to tear down the walls that
Built you up but kept others out
And use those bricks you have
To pave a better road
[Chorus]
And it’s on you
It’s on you to flush it out of your system
To sit down, shut up, and listen
Oh, you should be mad as hell
Oh, ooh, hey
Oh, ooh, hey
[Outro]
And it’s on you (Call it what it is)
It’s on you
It’s on you (Call it what it is)
And it’s on me too
And it’s on you (Call it what it is)
It’s on you
It’s on you (Call it what it is)
And it’s on me too, oh
*Choir vocalizing*
Call it what it is, call it what it is
Call it what it is, call it what it is
