Whose Child
Music and Lyrics written and arranged by Fanon Hill / Published by Candlestick Freedom Publishing (ASCAP)

Chorus:
Whose child is this you are hurting?
Whose child is whose future you’re burning
Whose child is this in need of unlearning?
Whose child is this who is yearning?
To be free, to be free

Verse 1:
Been in many school’s, with policies and rules in need of breaking
Another school’s renamed, a legacy is maimed, a child’s suffocating
Undervalued homes, bankers denying loans, soon a whole block is taken
Public school reform fuels gentrification, another step in our extermination

(Chorus)

Verse 2:
Test scores connected to privatization, schooling trumps education-
Unlawful school funding equations create modern day plantations
School boundaries redrawn, poor families are pawned and forsaken
Profit realization’s their motivation, where is our self-determination

Bridge:
Ohhhhhh
To love and protect a child, is to see your reflection in God’s eyes
And the strength of our youth, our youth, our youth
Should look after us in our old age but our children have been deemed obsolete,
so they revolt and burn down the village
just to feel the warmth of the heat

(Chorus)

Outro:
5 of 8 rule challenged for all to see in Ohio ignobly
Barely 1/4th access school choice in a community in Washington, DC
Impact funds diverted to protect a casino in Baltimore, follow the money
A lesson in the intersectionality of child brutality
To be Free (repeat)
Whose Child? Is it your child? Whose Child? Is it my child? (repeat)
Whose child is this…
