Pick apart, a vulture feeds,
The war machine.
History, entitles you,
So you decide,
If you have to own up too…
And it drives you insane, all day lon,g.
It drives you insane, all day long.
Smart thieves, hide in plain view, steal agency.
Equal rights, means if you’re white you lose,
So you still deny, that you have to own up too.
And it drives you insane, all day long.
It drives you insane, all day long.
(…And if the racist white person, I don’t mean the person who is examining his consciousness and so on, doesn’t understand, that he or she is also a race that’s also constructed, its also made and also has some kind of serviceability.
But when you take it away,
I take your race away
And there you are all strung out
And all you got is your little self,
and what is that?
Are you any good?
Are you still strong?
Are you still smart?
You still like yourself?
I take your race away.
Are you any good?
Are you still strong?
You still like yourself?)
And it drives you insane, all day long.
It drives and it drives you insane, all day long.
Colonize, state disguised, on repeat.
(You have to own up too)
Colonize, state disguised, on repeat.
(You have to own up too)
Colonize, state disguised, on repeat.
(You have to own up too)
