Said I’m…
sick of silence. sick of being my voiceless.
They stigmatize us, the bitterness of poisons,
We gotta fight it - no livin’ in avoidance.
Ain’t you sick of sufferin’ the bitter disappointment?
Then join us, trust in our tactics.Prove we ain’t movin’ like rush hour traffic.
I’ve had it, it’s madness - I’m literally shook.
Hearing tales never told to me in a history book.
Caught in misery’s hook, seeing:
face’s screaming, father’s gettin’ slaughtered,
daughter’s raped and beaten…
While they are weepin’, mothers sittin’ stunned
—clutching on to dog tags that belonged to her son
See the fight has begun, but the silence is over..
Yo, this is for my soldiers, this is for my culture,
this is for the lives sacrificed on the road to
peace and prosperity - it’s theirs to redeem.
Shattered - broken-battered, the American Dream.
Non-existant, we livin’ in a system consistent with prisons
restricting your wishes and visions, so listen:
we had enough - we had it rough.
It all added up and now we rattled up,
so we will not be moved.
- Theresa Vu | Magnetic North
