#stopnow
you have no love at all
you seem to be bitter and hateful all this time
you chose to hate
and you chose to cause of all this pain without even knowing
you don’t even think about it
you don’t even care anymore
cause this is a choice that you have made
and you chose to hate on me
there’s no respect anymore
there’s too much hatred
hate is killing us all
and people are dying and suffering all this time
it’s the pain that we no longer bear
when will it stop?
what can we all do?
CHORUS
Before it explodes
We need to stop
We need to stop what were doing
We need to stop now
Stop now before it gets hurt
We need to stop
We need to stop
We need to stop before it gets hurt
coz everything has a consequence
don’t you know how much that it’s hurting
you can’t imagine the pain
it hurts you massively
and you don’t even know it
so think it,
think it twice
cause
it break someone and someone could have a meltdown
everything has a reaction,
so think it twice
You could make them depressed and sad
So please stop, before it hurts
BRIDGE
I don’t know if there is turning back
I don’t know what we have left
wish we could all one day know,
know and understand
we coulda learn from it but is it really too late now?
is it all too late now to change?
what can we all do
what we all do before it explodes
Before it explodes
We need to stop
We need to stop what were doing
We need to stop now
We need to stop
We need to stop
We need to stop now
I don’t wanna see you getting hurt
I don’t want to see you being hurt again
About The Work
#stopnow is a spoken word and acapella song written and produced by Sydney-based Ana Nguyen. The lyrics describe the racism that I had experienced and how it could affect a person’s self-confidence, self-worth and the way they live. This is very emotional and sad as this is the most depressing work to date, and this is not normally the type of work that I would be doing. But unfortunately, the saddest thing is that this has got to be done!
