Hands Up

Hands up

On a roller coaster

A thrill ride

It's fun

You feel the rush a little bit more

Hands up

Searched for bombs

Every time I'm at the airport

I guess I look suspicious

Hands up

In the air

Wave them

Like you just don't care

Hands up

Put down the gun

The cell phone

Hands out of your pockets

You're a threat

For existing

And looking different

Hands up

In class

You're told to stop asking questions

And put your hand down

Because learning is gated by who's teaching

Hands up

And stretch

Jumping jacks

Yoga

Sprints

Because weighing more than 100 pounds is unacceptable

Hands up

Hands up

Hands up

My arms are getting tired
