lyrics

Lyrics

I woke up in a hateful mood
It's not like me it's like I was nude
I was pissed because everyone
Still had their dreams come true
I don't know how

We're in the middle of a fucking coup
White revolutionaries coming through
I just want to say fuck you
Fuck you for your celebratory white joys

I don't want to see your fucking dog
I don't want to see your cat
I don't want a hug
Unless you're one of the ones who can get down with fucking liberation!

Put yourself aside
Why don't you take a pause
Don't you think it's kind of rude
For the rest of us for the rest of us for the rest of us

I want to scream and I want to yell
I feel like lashing out but that won't make me feel better
I know it's not the end of the world, but it is unsafe and I'm worries
For the young black minds and their insides

They're watching a revolution before their eyes
And I'm not talking about their sisters and their brothers,
and their moms and ​the resistance

I am talking about the many years leading up to the all fucking
White tears on the capitol stairs on the capitol stairs
On the capitol stairs!

I know there's more and it's coming to a head and I called it
54ears ago in 2016 but no one wanted to listen
Only us screaming from the margins
You thought we were kissing a military movement

But you were wrong you were so wrong
And you're still wrong and you're still choosing to be wrong
And you're still wrong and you're still wrong
And you're still choosing to be wrong

With your nice songs and your nice dogs
And your pretty skin
And your nice shine!
I could give a fuck
​Sometimes I just want you to die

But my Grandma raised me right
And she never ever lied
And she said be ye kind be ye kind
And so I feel kind of bad making this rhyme

My Grandma taught me right
My Grandma taught me right
My Grandma taught me right
She never hated in her life

Not even the man that raped her mom
That's where she comes from
Or the kid that raped her daughter
She's never hated in her life

Or when my Grandpa died of Cancer
Or when her kids are all drug addicts
She never once lied
She never once lied
Maybe to herself but never to anyone else

I'm trying to be well
I'm trying to be well
