And you’re willing to keep your brothers down
Fighting, lighting, inciting
Each other, fires and riots
Uniting
For the wrong reasons
For too many seasons
Then we die
And we live
And we give
And we strive for “equality”
In someone’s eyes
Or maybe their lies
In death
In graves
In life
In names
We are the same
On paper anyway
But look closer and see what remains
The blood stains
The pursuit of gains
And the games played
To tame the fame of those
Who have no name
At least not any longer
Cause now you’re stronger
The leaner, meaner machine
Ready to clean
The spots from your own reputation
Leaving behind a nation
Of brothers forgotten
Trampled in the dust
Of your lust
For a worth determined by coin
Now too will the seed of your loin
Have to carry your mistakes
Cover for your frauds and fakes
Never living a life that’s his own
But growing in the hate that was loaned
Trade it back; be denied
Error; reboot; don’t believe the lies
Live what you know
But first know how you want to live
Till tomorrow
