lyrics

A legacy of swaying nooses
Innocent people/stolen lives
You turn the other cheek to the past
While city blocks are gentrified

Migrants slave the fields
Unarmed kids die in the streets
Victims of failed solutions
That all of you refuse to see

No matter what they tell you
Or what you believe
From the depths of this nation
Hate still breathes
200 years / the wound still bleeds
200 years / hate still breathes

Equality and civil rights
Far gone words to another lie
That you know only adhere
To significant shades of white

No matter what they tell you
Or what you believe
From the depths of this nation
Hate still breathes
200 years the wound still bleeds
200 years hate still breathes

Cut open your veins and see
We all bleed the same red blood

Same red bood

MEAING: Racism. It is a disease that the US has still not cured. Now, more than ever, it seethes from the underbelly of American society and the reality we face is that this plague is gaining momentum once again. A fact that is equally embarrassing and terrifying.
