To sleep with anger every day - to put your prayers in someone's mouth
I watch you struggle with your own antidote, then you spit it out
And I can't breathe while I watch you sell yourself into the world
You try to steal my life
Now. Kill the hatred with a new sound. Put a new voice in a dry mouth
Breaking the prison inside - we're running riot
Now.
Kill the hatred with a new sound. Put a new voice in a dry mouth
Will we bide our time afraid? Will we wait or overthrow?
All these things in my life dem a stain to remove
Beauty in our makeup peace in a gun cut the picture of yourself
In resistance to prove at least one of these colors does bleed and run
It's the war inside of us all
Poverty is the biggest strongest jail that the government ever built
So we go paralyzed by the lie of socialized violence
And while American culture seeds stagnation with its guilt our
Society is the lie we define with our silence

A living thing the sound fe run lasting forever always
