Freedom is the Only Victory

FREEDOM IS THE ONLY VICTORY

By Tilla Sonrise

So now we know what the war looks like—

which side are you on?

WE KNOW WHO THE BAD GUY IS

AND IT IS NOT US.

In order for freedom to exist

we must all unite—

Black and those who know the truth, whites.

We can't sit idly by

like we can't see.

If I sit back and watch them

unalive your people with trees

and do nothing,

I must consider:

when will war be waged on me?

They are not the people.

The people are the people

that gave them power.

WE THE PEOPLE,

together, united,

have the power to take it back.

We can't sit back and play relaxed,

still living under a King James tax.

This land is my land.

This land is your land.

And it is only us

who can take it back.

Many of us may not survive,

but we were all born under attack.

The world's been a battlefield.

We were just pretending

it was Candy Land.

Sedated by the radio waves,

eyes believing their vision,

binge-watching television.

In war we are assured two things:

the possibility of death

and the possibility of victory.

FREEDOM IS THE ONLY VICTORY.

Living like death

isn't what we call life.

Freedom from these chains

is the only victory.

WE MUST HAVE BACK OUR LIVES!

Don't start a war with us,

because we are all the people.

And WE THE REAL PEOPLE

stand united—

ALL FOR ONE

AND ONE FOR ALL.
