about

I wrote this song in one afternoon in early June 2020. It was on the heels of the George Floyd tragedy. I remember sitting at our table with my family and I said, I think I’m going to write a song called “What’s Your Problem?” because I just don’t get racism. I decided to write down my thoughts as best as I could and since I had already recorded some tunes for the record, I knew a chord progression that would work well and be unique.

lyrics

What’s Your Problem? Maybe It’s Human Nature
What’s Your Problem? Need To Look Down On Someone Else
Gotta Keep Em Down To Improve Your Stature
Or To Feel Better About Yourself, Its True

So What’s Your Problem? You Got To Treat People So Mean
What’s Your Problem? Scared Cause They’re Different Than You
What’s Your Problem? What If The Foot Had The Other Shoe?

Solo

I Know You Weren’t Born This Way
Your Parents Did A Real Number On You
They Taught You About Jesus And What He Says Is True
Do Unto To Others As They Would Unto You….

So What’s Your Problem? Hate A Man That Looks Different Than You
What’s Your Problem? Ever Think About Your White Priviledge?
What’s Your Problem? This Has Gone On Long Enough….

Bridge

Gotta Break The Cycle, Enough’s Enough
Teach Your Children Love And Respect
Standing Up For What Is Right Shouldn’t Be That Tough
Loving A Fellow Man Is A Novel Concept

So What’s Your Problem
What’s Your Problem?
What’s Your Problem?
Repeat….Out
