lyrics

Humans, oh how we like to push things around. Just take a look around your town.

The concrete beneath our feet. The essence off which we feed. The skyscrapers and other amazing feats.

Were not here before other folks like you and me decided they wanted something more in the lives which they were born

It's a struggle to the top and to top it off to make it in this world you gotta be tough. Nobody's gonna help you, you're gonna die alone and if that's not enough.

Hard work and perseverance alone rarely pays off, and if that's all you got then you're outta luck.

Cause our roles in life can be preconceived and while you wear your entitlement on your sleeves. Our genitalia, skin, and bank accounts can be constraining.

Those who are benefiting from the status quo will claim to know nothing of the privilege that they sow.

So there's nothing I can say that won't be ignored. But rather than pickin' up and headin' out that door. I'll draw my vicious weapon, choosin' the pen and not the sword.

Because to kill the man, is to disrupt the plan, but not the demand.

For every ten you'd kill, there's a hundred more just waitin' for the opportunity to knock at the door. they're takin' matters into their own hands lord if we don't do the same we're gonna lose the war.
