Violence

They want us to be silent 
The quiet 
The calm that hides the violence 
See these streets are a battlefield and they’re killing our children
The blood of the innocent, within us is 
A sickening commitment 
To this sacrilegious instrument of the 
Inhumane 

Damn, he was just a baby, maybe we should find a different way 
But they say it’s got to be this way
Never a day when the blood of a child would
Make them reconsider 
But I’ve reconsidered and consider this my 
Final assessment

[Chorus]
Here is our testament
Write a new amendment
Fuck your thoughts and prayers 
I need your sweat and your tears 
A hammer to tear down these systematic affairs 
The problematic refrains
The blood stains 
The lies we’ve been sold
While children are slain 

Every day is a new day to fight a new fight 
To stand for what’s right against all those who would try to tell you 
That they can’t find another way 
They don’t want to see because it’s all about the money
They don’t care for their country
Or the people in their community
There’s no longer immunity for those stuck in their ways 
Do cling to the same broken tragedies and never looking for change 

[Chorus]
Here is our testament
Write a new amendment
Fuck your thoughts and prayers 
I need your sweat and your tears 
A hammer to tear down these systematic affairs 
The problematic refrains
The blood stains 
The lies we’ve been sold
While children are slain 

America - the land of the sadistic 
The land of statistics the numbers
The dollars 
Corruption of father and brothers
The sinners and saints and with the darkness of stains on souls riddled with hate
When will we change when will enough be enough 
When we’ll no longer be cuffed to the product of bluffs and of ruses 
By now we should see through it and 
Choose the truth over comfort 
There’s no comfort only solidarity
A singularity 
A purpose to be
If you want it sing with me 

[Chorus]
Here is our testament
Write a new amendment
Fuck your thoughts and prayers 
I need your sweat and your tears 
A hammer to tear down these systematic affairs 
The problematic refrains
The blood stains 
The lies we’ve been sold
While children are slain 

No more will we be silent 
No more can you fein innocence 
This is your violence
It’s on you to end it
