Our finger’s on the trigger Slip from sanity You know I’m losing it Give in to this hate that’s been bred in me Indoctrinated this from birth Taught the foundations to live in this world with apathy The powerless and enslaved Gagged, bound and in chains We are the hopeless generation But still you wave your flags and say it’s all in the past You say I’m free And every Invasion Day The attempted assimilation of my ancestry Becomes so clear to me The underlining racism and bigotry But still you wave your flags and say it’s all in the past It was cultural genocide But still you wave your flags and tell me free Don’t tell me I’m free And in 1788 death was brought to this place Cultural annihilation A time in history that will resonate But still you wave your flag and tell me I’m free / Brothers and sisters listen to me I want you to be part of the struggle Don’t just sit back and watch as we bleed Don’t say you want to stand with us I want to stand in solidarity But solidarity is not enough Got to take action and fight the system There’s no freedom for any of us

Our voices will carry still Long shadows form As the sun sets On integrity and hopefulness The restless lull Of voices muse Under pressure of social cues And we partake In shaking ease I follow as you lead Stumbling in darkness As our bodies collide Voices caught in hollow throats I am trapped within your eyes We were star-crossed constellations That’s what you led me to believe Wake me from the haze and sweat I am fighting just to breathe Wide mouths gape open To taste what’s undeserved You’re becoming obsessed With the obtaining of flesh No remorse Nothing earned I put trust in good intentions I put trust in what was said I put trust in a boy who created a toy Out of the drugged girl On the bed But with these hands I will fight To the death For the sake of the girl Who can’t catch her breath Catch her breath Long shadows form As the sun sets On integrity and hopefulness Long shadows form As the sun sets But our voices will carry still

Eyes like wolves hunting innocent prey Seeking out victims to play in your game Manipulate to fill inside where you've dug your own void Memories are creeping, and stalking, and haunting Unfriendly reminders of fiendish behaviors still Fingertips drag across flesh Like fragments chisel in a headstone Invading the hairs on my skin Crawling up the spine, consuming the mind Doubting myself because I didn't fight or scream Keeping your transgression buried underneath I've done enough believing in the devil That I forgot who he was after. Selfish ways have become sadistic I wasn't born to die a statistic Silenced by shame, I've hid in secret I wasn't born to die a statistic Questioned what I should have done different I wasn't born to die a statistic This isn't my guilt to live with I wasn't born to die a statistic I wasn't born to die a statistic I wasn't born to die a statistic

through desserts and different bodies of water carrying the weight of an unforeseen future funny how they claim it's all part of some scheme and with one single glance, go from human to thief barriers built to keep out the fear instead they reaffirm facts that aren't real ne uno mas, ne uno olvidado gotta stand for the voices unheard it’s just what they want, doubt overflowing rivers of hate eroding progress made but if histories proven anything it's that out of pain will come change barriers built to keep out the fear instead they reaffirm facts that aren't real ne uno mas, ne uno olvidado gotta stand for the voices unheard

Cursed Whispers and daggered eyes Ghosts of your past haunts me Innocent voices knocking at your door Pleading to be heard Drag me down Losing everything and everyone I love Whispers and daggered eyes Ghosts of your past haunts me Lack of remorse Shameful escape Frustration written on my face Mistakes I've never made ghosts of your past cursed me I see you on the street, claiming you as a stranger Your character holds no weight in my mind This stems from fucking anger It takes everything in me not to self destruct I'm tired of knowing that you don't give a fuck

Words unsaid are louder in the silence. Screaming, knowing our compliance. The bitten tongue, bleeds of guilt. Our sense of moral direction wilts. A pain we will never feel, never given a chance to heal. In the hands (of those) no different to our own. Systemic oppression, objectified obsession. Still many viewed as a possession. The pain ignored, will intensify. Accepted norms, few are willing to defy. Lilith was punished for having her own mind. Seen as sin, time after time. Bearers of the womb suffer this fate. Will they escape this oppressive hate? Exiled from sanctuary. We enable this reality. WE ARE GUILTY.

I saw the light I made it shine And I wonder if you feel with a heart like mine. Through the darkest clouds our ignorance resounds and miss the beauty in the world that truly astounds I can see there's an ocean of pain, a collective shame I did nothing to erase. We can hear a deafening cry, a culture that stood by and did practically nothing. I saw the light. x2 I still feel with a heart, no matter how much pain affects it. I still feel with a heart, a heart with the best intentions. I can see there's an ocean of pain, a collective shame I did nothing to erase. We can hear a deafening cry, a culture that stood by and did practically nothing. I can see there's a promise to make, a decision to take a stand and not just sit by. We can lend a hand to the weak, Pull them up to their feet - no one else should be victimized. I saw the light, I made it shine, and I wonder if you feel anything at all.

¿Quién te crees que eres con tan perra actitud? Quieres que te trate con respeto mientras tú Me tratas como mierda por que somos diferentes Por eso te la pasas discriminando a mí gente Estamos cansados del racismo y agresion Te sientes superior Solo eres un puto ratón Siempre maltratando a mis hermanas y hermanos Solo queda hacer justicia con mis propias manos Aunque intentes salir de esta te lo juro no podrás Nos cansamos de aguantar y es tu hora de pagar

It's not your body It's not your business Keep your goddamn opinions to your fucking self It's not a compliment It's just harassment Walking in public shouldn't carry a price Every human being has a right to feel safe No keys between her knuckles and no carrying mace You tell her to smile To face your abuse She doesn't owe you shit You've got no fucking excuse And If she's not having Any of your shit You call a her bitch For standing up for herself It's not about your mother It's not about your sister It's having respect for people other than you Time and time again I've heard your shit I've had it with you And I'm not holding my tongue If intimidation And being a creepy fuck are your way of talking to woman Then I bet they could do without a catch like you I'm not a big man And I'm not quick to fight But if I hear you cat calling tonight There's gonna be a price.

A friend or a fucking foe? The consent was in her clothes If she's asleep she'll never know You can deny and refuse But you can't hide the truth No means fucking no Your lack of self control Ain't an excuse yet you choose To take the trust that I used to know If you thought for a single second That I would give myself to you You've got it twisted, Deliberately misconstrued Can't fuck with you A plague to the world A fucking waste is your existence To fake consent of a girl Disguised as a friend but a snake in the end Do you know what it's like when the world is out to get you? Labeled by a thief for the rest to come and test you Guarded by your friends like a hornet in the nest You're a fucking rapist That's a life you chose to live

They tried to bury us, they didnt know we were seeds! They tried to silence us but you cant silence a mind that's free! assimilate, procreate, appropriate to a system that doesn't work for the marginalized. the working class families the broken home children that roam the barrios that will keep them from growing WE LEARN TO HATE OURSELVES, THIS KEEPS US FROM GROWING one day they will grow and they will breathe in the stench that pollutes our air. Look around the gentrification that takes place and realize that this land, this plan wasn't for our people. They tried to whitewash our identities.
