I have a right to be hostile.
I have a right to place blame
to a person who has hurt me
in the "Lord's name".
I have a right to hate
when my people are scared.
You are supposed to serve and protect
and yet, your weapons are aimed where?
I have a right to shout
in the face of your ignorance.
Because just me being alive
is a ******* political statement.
Being a decent human
is not something to congratulate.
Be decent because that is human,
not because you must compensate.
Don't force me into a box
and say I cannot escape.
**** the paths of this forked road
I choose my own fate.
Adding pressure to silence
will only turn us into diamonds,
because in our hard-earned victory
we'll sparkle and be shinin'.
There are too many of our voices,
we're impatient, that much is clear.
We're angry not because we want to be,
but because we refuse to live in fear.
