lyrics

Verse 1
Is it a crime
To want our fellow man to be accountable?
To document the lies
Coming from their mouths?
To record the conversations
Meant to dismantle?
Pre-chorus
The order of destruction is the world
The order of corruption is the creed
Cynicism kills all hope for peace
And I resign
Chorus
Should I
Give into the hatred of the world?
The hatred of
The hatred of the world
Align myself with devils that I know
The hatred of
The hatred of the world
Mmm
Verse 2
How many people do you think
Have died since 16Whatever?
How many people do you think
Have perished since the dawn of time?
How many women (and girls)?
How many children (round the world)?
How many Black kids
Walking with their hoodies up high?
They shoot to kill for
No real reason why
So I resign
Repeat Chorus
Outro
Like rocks thrown at
Black boys and girls
On the way to school
With rabid whites
Like every gun shot to the
Heads chest spines
Of those
Who had the spines
Like the atom bomb
That forced our hand
After millions tossed in ditches
Like slabs of meat
Does it hurt?
Good.
