Look at me with your parasitic eyes
Your condescension that brushes against me
You are always right
It's a Californian dream
Just a picture that makes you superior
You are the lie beyond
The truth, a story told
An earthquake or a fire
Look at me because I am not the center
Look at me beyond my face
I was touched too
And maybe even head-on
I was crushed too
Because I was not well born
I was robbed too
And more than my identity
Look at yourself with your woke eyes
You are always right
Because you are the awakened one
Just a picture that makes you superior
To give lessons
Until my cancel culture
Freedom a story told
A storm or tsunami of lies
Look at me because I am not the center
Look at me beyond my face
I was touched too
And maybe even head-on
I was crushed too
Because I was not well born
I was robbed too
And more than my identity
Oh my city
Oh my angel
To burn in silence
In the hell of your evils
And your sulphurous hope
To freeze all hearts
Who break in silence
Everything goes up in smoke
To my tears in pain
Look at me because I am not the center
Look at me beyond my face
I was touched too
And maybe even more than you
I was lied to too
Because I wasn't where I needed to be
I was robbed too
And much more than my identity
I was crushed too
It's not a big deal
I am just the deep state
A redneck among
A desert of ignorance
Because where I live
We were not taught anything
Or maybe it's tradition.
Just tradition
Just tradition
To be what one is
For what we are
Without masks and artifices
Maybe a reason to be
Maybe a reason to be
