lyrics

Breaking on promises, banking on pain.
Using our hope to keep us in chains,
bow down and pray for better days.
Asking for change in the moist dignified of ways.
Shellshock folks, I think I want to give violence a chance, but I feel so bad.
Can’t fight fire with fire, but I’m tryna weaponize water and use it on the white flame.
I feel so bad, but I wanna give violence a chance
But I feel so bad
Yea I feel so bad
Yea I feel so

Closed everyday except xmas
Spin round smile weeping
Flesh rots and I'm wreakin
Have nots tally keeping
Who have I wronged what's wrong with me?
Forced to be a villain when I gotta be
My hands are tired and I can't relax my hands
arms are tied I ain't falling back
There are plenty of people that have died nonviolently on their knees
I'm begging that you see me as I scream
I ain't going quietly
I'm begging that you see me as I scream

The kings been lying nonviolently dead
damn near 50 years, 50 years
Our generals should be taken out back and asked

What the fuck is taking so long
Man I don't know, maybe shot
Or taken to an ever growing desert
I dont know

But I want to give violence a chance
And I can't feel bad
I need to give violence a chance
And I can't feel bad
I have to give violence a chance
And I won't feel bad
I won't feel bad
No I don't feel bad
I won't feel bad

Mama stop saying we free
Mama stop saying we free
Mama strikes back you see

Mama stop saying we free
Mama stop saying we free
Mama strikes back for me

Mama stop saying we free
Mama stop saying we free
Mama strikes back you see

Mama stop saying we free
Mama stop saying we free
