We have more in common than you might think, from way back when, we've all been a slave to the system This isn't some All Life's Matter nonsense to gum up progress, it's just an explanation of the MO of our nation It went from skin to the dollar amount you bring in, it's my history too, no appropriation How is it that I don't fit in being that I'm part Native American, must be the other part of me that's an Irish man They stole you then stoud you and demand you comply to tilling stolen soil using the same regurgitated lie You were forced to work, we were forced to die, you deserve reperations but unironically so do I You look at me and just see another white guy, I'm a perfect example that history can't always be seen by the naked eye Never forget the why, we're being forced to hide the cry as they rush to rewrite themselves as the good guy Sectioned off ghetto and reservations put in place for the preservation of the notion only the white survive and thrive Every second of our life the truths been uncovered and streamed live, no need for a deep dive But they still claim to be blind to the red stained streets from this perverse and nonconsentual mass blood drive Their stories never jive but the hive mentality rules, allowing bigotry and hate to always revive I want to Hulk out, often feel I'm about too, but what's that gonna do, it'll only prove we're as savage as they say They are waiting for the avalanche to fall any day so they can justify putting us away, barking at us to just sit and stay Is there another way, how can we drag this from out the shadows and into the light when there's only perpetual grey Allowin' us to say what we gotta say hoping then we'll go away, how many marters will it take before we're no longer prey? Question charitable blankets, pass on the boat ride, how we suppose to trust when every handshake is a lie certified A bona-fied villain willin' and able, fully capable of genuine genocide screaming gods on their side If there is a god and he does come back he better watch his back or run and hide They lack morals of any kind, replaced with blind pride, he'd undoubtedly be crucified in a fashion not only justified but glorified I know you can't fight hate with hate, that'll only perpetrate this disastrous fate But all we hear is wait, the time is never right but always near and once it's here they'll be glad to open the gate But if we keep rattling the cage they'll have to keep pushing back the date, so we wait But how much do they think we can actually take? Maybe they're just waiting for us to finally break ©2022
