lyrics

They say that freedom is a constant struggle, a constant sorrow, a constant moaning, mourning, crying, dying. But these kids have been dying too often. A centuries old gospel talking about years and years of struggle. But singing is not going to fix this and neither is praying. As long as this crawls under our skin and runs our institutions. We all got used to this legalized violence of the police state we live in. Controlled and criminalized. Always under suspicion, never innocent. Police brutality and harassment reminding us that freedom does not come for free. One shot, two choked, three struck out. Collateral of the war on drugs. "Sit back quietly. No need to disrupt the peace." Four stopped, five popped, six beaten down. "Stay at home and out of the streets tonight." There is a war on kids that have nothing to lose but these ancient chains. Fuck. It is time to show your true colors. So this is what the American dream is supposed to look like, right? Our feed flooded with young bodies who lost their lives at the hands of a trigger-happy cop, here to “protect and serve”. But whose agenda is he serving, when he is only trained to kill? They shoot to kill. We have been waiting with our hands up in the park, playing cops. Waiting for the change we were promised, but has not come. We have been waiting through disappointment and disillusion. But I am done waiting on more body bags and more shootings. But you rather discuss the involvement of athletes in the protest movement. Whatever it takes to turn a blind eye and conserve your safe bubble. Complaining that actually “all lives should matter”. And when the media circus leaves town and the quiet has been restored, you can go back to your empty life, free of worry. But if next week another shooting makes the morning news, just remember that there will be no sleep, no peace, until we see justice.
