Lyrics:
They talk ‘bout our rights like an open discussion.// Promise us change while deliverin’ nothin’.// Laugh in our face when we find out they bluffin’.// No wonder the nation’s all high off a substance.// Feeding us lies; No remorse for our lives.// They wanted it all and put us on the line.// Poisoned the water, the food and the minds// of all of the people to their own design.// In school they gone teach you to solve all the problems.// Now you’re an adult pickin’ out all the problems.// They tax you and tax you to solve all the problems.// While passin’ more bills that be causin’ you problems.// Mean, I ain’t no savior. Can’t promise to solve ‘em//but if we band together? I promise we’ll stop ‘em.// These damn politicians done turned us to Gotham.// Days getting darker down here at the bottom.//
Verse 2:
They cover the facts with the lies on the news//while fillin’ their pockets with money from you.// Stating that taxes bring change and the new//but raisin’ their checks ‘til they stacked through the roof.// Just look around if you’re needing the proof;//a reason to get off the couch or the stoop.// Can’t do shit ‘til we rally the troops.// Let’s take back our country: the red, white and blue.// Don’t care ‘bout the people they swear to protect.// You’re just an assist who’s workin’ ‘til death//and they gonn’ replace you when ya take your last breath.// Treating the poor like their personal steps.// A hand on the Bible, a foot on your neck//while demanding that you’re gonna show them respect.// We’re takin’ it back. Well, atleast what is left//and we’re banding together. The hell they expect?.//
Bridge:
They say that they do what they do for the people// but they ain’t been treating us equal.// Putting themselves before us and it’s evil.// The hope that they talk of is lethal.// Tried to divide us; religion and class,//then it was race, the mask and the vax.// Now there’s too many so they killin’ in mass.// Time to fight back ‘fore they cut us in half.
