I'm fucking tired of the news
Its grueling through and through
I would rather die
Than see another's innocent life
Being stripped from their hands
Mine may not be clean, but I know whats right
There's a lack of accountability
If you're white and a man, you're set
But our brothers are still fighting the same old shit
Get your hands dirty my friends
Help them up and they'll help you too
Take a stand
Let it ride
Its us against the rising tide
of hate -
We shall take the light my friend
Extinguish, and bury them
A cancer eating its way out
Processing the fear and shout
It's all a fucking lie
Resist and I'll be there next to you
I've been screaming to change the world
Ever since I knew how
I'd like to stand out from the crowd
But I am only whispering
I need your voice to join mine
Its come to this
An iron fist,
And battered voices that came with
Torn and cracking from abuse
Screaming doesn't do shit
When ears refuse to hear
So we must
Take a stand
Let it ride
Its us against the rising tide
of hate -
We shall take the light my friend
Extinguish, and bury them
A cancer eating its way out
Process the fear and shout
It's all a fucking lie
This Congresswoman Said
"i know it sounds hokey, but it begins with us to love and stop the hating." (paraphrased). I thought, it only sounds hokey becuase it is not heard ofen enough.We are god at preaching to the choire. King said it, so did Ghandi, and Mother Teresa during our lifetimes and still, so many turn to hating. Malcolm and Bobby, John and Marvin Gaye, but we are a nation of mentally challened hearing impaired. I shall attemp hokeyness for a while. But I still hate spiders. :)
