The antagonists in this dystopian novel
Get rich off pennies per injustice put into poor man's liquor bottles
Take it from a Jew when I say that these streets
Are as sinister as the era of Nazi Germany
Black bodies do not hang themselves from trees
In a world where white man tries to gut patriotism out of refugees
With immigrant kids kept in camps, closest thing to warmth being aluminum sheets
Yet you want us to talk in the language of which you speak.
With demands like that you best learn native tongue
And keep your mouth shut until you are damn well done
White devils' advocates
They claim to be pacifists
Claim the chaos is not a reasonable solution
But what change has this soil seen without a revolution?
Privilege is being able to say "two wrongs don't make a right"
When our black comrades are not the ones breaking necks out of spite
Read between the lines on a policeman's badge
And you will see what the red represents on our flag
I see blood on authority hands...
And point right back at Uncle Sam
