lyrics

Dude, i get it, your mad about the social injustice, you are ashamed to be an american after a fuckoff is now in office (again), the rich fuck over the poor,women deserve equal rights, homophobia and xenophobia are both bullshit. Gender roles are a prison for some. But who in the hell do you think you are? Are you able to feel more than the people that are directly affected by this?It's not like black people started being pissed after the rash of publicized shootings the last decade. Niggas been getting fucked over and killed and raped since they touched american soul. A dude told me in November that he was "scared for the country" after "he who shall not be named" won. He asked me how i felt. "I'm black in america, theyve been shooting guys that look like me in the streets everyday" was my response. He brushed the statement off like it held no ground but his newfound anger was the same and justified.GTFOH. To my white friends i love you. But the BLACK PANTHERS were the most powerful front for social change in america for the urban youth and people of color. The GHETTO BOYS and many more in new york were a huge movement for change in the seventies.The bloods and crips have been organizing more and more to protect their communities. So many have fought before and have been shot down. we've lost so many lights Malcom, Martin...What makes you think all of a sudden that ya'll can be heroes for us? Seriously if you want to be mad about this shit. Tell your families to stop being racist. Start with your parents,your grandpa and grandma and uncles, cousins who tell the fucked up jokes or make prejudice and outdated social jabs and vote for fascists and spout that bluelivesmatter nonsense. Leave the hash tags alone. Change starts from ground zero.In the name of solidarity I as a black man and human being appreciate you.But you aint ever gonna be no ones hero. Only we as a people can save ourselves through civil, political, and economic means.It's our cross to bear. White supremacy is a poison.but black excellence is the antidote.(and stop saying nigga at shows and clubs when a song comes on man, ya'll dont own that right)-DYVER

My people had to come a long way
You cant' be a hero, a hero today (2x)

Verse1

I lit this fire for boredom
/ i could retire tomorrow/ music could make me a martyr/
cuz i give all of my heart and my sorrow/ i dont got no one to help me/
no one is gon make me wealthy/ sometimes not mentally healthy/ but i've got anger to quell me/
shoot another black in the back say he sold crack/take another dad from a child who has no chance/ all my white friends are activists now/ but they wont be the ones who gunned down/ imagine just waking up/ knowing your life can be taken up/ they pulled up on me at best buy/ i was just tryin to get by

HK

They say no justice no peace/
hash taggin all on they screens/
don't even know what it means/
african stuck with no wings/
ya my fiancé is european/ i've got a daughter thats black/
I've got a native american grandma/ we cant get none of this back/
you do not know how it feels/ sittin here spinnin these wills/ tryin to stay legit/ stuck in a system no fit/you think a hash tag is helping/ all of your rantin and yelling/ cog in a big machine/ stuck as the fodder of villains

HK

It's politics and bullshit (2x)
