Silently waiting for change to come But you’re only waiting on yourself It’s times like this that you rely on no one. The Temperature’s rising We’re killing ourselves A handgun in each home The innocent jailed It’s time we took responsibility for ourselves Take my hand and don’t give in I just want it all to end The youth see they struggle with image and self Magazines and TV show them there is no hope Achieving perfection only behind closed doors. Babies with babies because sex sells Ignorance inside schools Abstinence prevails The light in their eyes becomes hell. Our self worth is crumbling we’re begging for change On a street corner with someone’s name Everyone just drives by with a look of shame. And all you believe in is greed and money While those all around you are broke and starving When will you wake up and do something?

Silence over justice Violence over substance For too long it's gone very unnoticed Tragedy beckons Every second Then we forget it. We crave and demand it Glutton for punishment In need of encouragement But ourselves are seen as less than beings Just take a chance Establish a stance But instead we sleep and dream of what could be We Know Who We Are

False protector we were never enough keep your secrets tell your lies learning from you should never be done childish imitation dies no hard work only mistakes always expecting a hand out deception was always your way weave a web of self doubt guilt and shame and toxic mind games build a prison where i am still contained trapped by fear of kindness but the truth remains to be set free i must remove the pain false protector hidden away expecting me to figure it out never given the rules of the game taken advantage of kicked around tragic reminders everyday of how i never stood a chance joke's on you i made my way made the most of circumstance drugs and violence facing a gun reckless abandon, thievery too forging my own unknown path knowing i got shit to prove i experienced negligence raised myself i should be proud i dont owe you a fucking thing taking back my life now

The Story 05:35
america's story is filled with mistakes it's not the land of the free or home of the brave macho man cops that are military grade choking our freedom till no breath remains open your eyes before it's too late i know that at times it seems we've sealed our own fate future generations are what's at stake eat the rich, use the bones as weapons of change started off raping and killing and pillaging like some sort of self righteous christian piracy thinking they were right as long as god was on their side i've got news for you there's no one to save you when you die propaganda put forth since day one the ruling class always rules with fear and a gun but what happens when people start to rise demand real freedom and cast capitalism aside

I pledge allegiance to the only constant I've known we must tear it all down rebuild it from the ground this isn't just a moment been coming for centuries now the elders must step aside no longer will we watch others die save ourselves from the wrong side of history our story can still be changed we must be on a forward trajectory because backwards lies only shame i pledge allegiance to the growing fear of the unknown step blindly into the fire be reborn as something higher there is no time to wait the hatred must be erased

path of destruction losing all function dont know how i'm thinking i just know that i'm sinking judge all feeling lose all meaning looming darkness crumbling fortunes fuck us again and again bail out after bail out hand out after hand out scraps for the others our sisters and brothers our hands are bleeding our children need feeding while you horde money and leave us with nothing it's not too late to set things straight it's up to you an uprising is due it's true
8.
bow your head make your demands ask for relief world's troubles reached their peak no one will hear it falls on deaf ears nothing will be done they do not give a fuck prayers are for the weak only action will get things done results are what we seek those in charge, what do they know? what's the plan don't you understand the need to do more Damage will be done let's all join hands this is the end thanks to all the lies we're all gonna die
9.
we're not animals we are human of flesh and bone and full of feelings you can't decide who is better just by looking at the color we will resist we will defy get in your face stomp on your pride we are the people we will fight this land was made for both you and i no more will we conform we're sick of the rich screwing the poor taking a knee will do no more take to the streets they'll see what's in store we have been patient we have been kind it has not work although we tried they never gave us the same we must beat them at their own game we will speak up way before there is no one left to speak up for we have to open up their eyes educate and empathize
