They want us to be silent
The quiet
The calm that hides the violence
See these streets are a battlefield and they’re killing our children
The blood of the innocent, within us is
A sickening commitment
To this sacrilegious instrument of the
Inhumane
Damn, he was just a baby, maybe we should find a different way
But they say it’s got to be this way
Never a day when the blood of a child would
Make them reconsider
But I’ve reconsidered and consider this my
Final assessment
[Chorus]
Here is our testament
Write a new amendment
Fuck your thoughts and prayers
I need your sweat and your tears
A hammer to tear down these systematic affairs
The problematic refrains
The blood stains
The lies we’ve been sold
While children are slain
Every day is a new day to fight a new fight
To stand for what’s right against all those who would try to tell you
That they can’t find another way
They don’t want to see because it’s all about the money
They don’t care for their country
Or the people in their community
There’s no longer immunity for those stuck in their ways
Do cling to the same broken tragedies and never looking for change
[Chorus]
Here is our testament
Write a new amendment
Fuck your thoughts and prayers
I need your sweat and your tears
A hammer to tear down these systematic affairs
The problematic refrains
The blood stains
The lies we’ve been sold
While children are slain
America - the land of the sadistic
The land of statistics the numbers
The dollars
Corruption of father and brothers
The sinners and saints and with the darkness of stains on souls riddled with hate
When will we change when will enough be enough
When we’ll no longer be cuffed to the product of bluffs and of ruses
By now we should see through it and
Choose the truth over comfort
There’s no comfort only solidarity
A singularity
A purpose to be
If you want it sing with me
[Chorus]
Here is our testament
Write a new amendment
Fuck your thoughts and prayers
I need your sweat and your tears
A hammer to tear down these systematic affairs
The problematic refrains
The blood stains
The lies we’ve been sold
While children are slain
No more will we be silent
No more can you fein innocence
This is your violence
It’s on you to end it
