I'm likely to die in the streets for being me,
But don't nobody give a fuck.
Murder our sons and our daughters and walk free,
But don't nobody give a fuck.
How come we never make the news or tv?
Cuz don't nobody give a fuck.
You're financially benefiting from our tragedy,
Thats why you don't give a fuck.
Don't act like you don't give a fuck.
Three hundred million people waiting for me to lose my grip
On the control that I've salvaged
So they can lock me in their cages and the pages of history books
And label me a savage.
Perpetuated stereotypes all alike in a society thats trying to erase me
While simultaneously forcing me to forgive the past.
Cuz its never changing.
I'm a walking relic with a fucking target on my back.
I wonder if I'll ever get the chance
To thrive of opportunities that everybody else has?
After they stole all the land.
I'm broke as fuck.
I'm tired and way too stressed out
But I can't let you see it now,
Cuz you'll call me "weak,"
a "fucking failure" a "drunk"
Anything you can think of to keep me from rising above it.
I'm losing cousins by the dozens but it doesn't seem to be enough
To warrant any coverage like media is covering up
A war thats been entrusted in the companies that profit off the oil
By the governments thats lusting for the blood thats in our soil.
Poison the water and land and watch as it burns
And now they're hunting our women an now they're hunting the girls
Non binary bodies hanging but its not your concern
We're catching bullets in the back but its not your concern
Don't trip keep it steady while you're stepping over the bodies
Belonging to our familes
While you're marching for equality.
I'm likely to die in the streets for being me,
But don't nobody give a fuck.
Murder our sons and our daughters and walk free,
But don't nobody give a fuck.
How come we never make the news or tv?
Cuz don't nobody give a fuck.
You're financially benefiting from our tragedy,
Thats why you don't give a fuck.
Don't act like you don't give a fuck.

I got to the party late, but boy am I glad I made it. This album meets, exceeds and challenges all sonic and writing expectations one has of a punk album; poetry set to punk. Definitely the most punk thing I've heard this year. CMRuppert12
