Lyrics
What do I do with all this bad news
What do I say when it all gets worse
Where do I look if I can not trust you
Where do I look to fix this curse
Maybe it's me maybe I'm in a bad mood
Maybe I am a man of my word
They're fueled by greed and a deal in a back room
Fuck around now someone's gunna get hurt
Loading my arms stacking my rations
Thought I was crazy look at what happened
Breaking us down into classist factions
Look at us now in the masks we crafted
An army of clowns in the back we laughed
But we're upside down and we can't go back
And we can't get loud and we can't get mad
Because there ain't no sound down the path we had
Is it too late feel like an old man
I'm a drop this bar and make a new plan
From the RHO to AntiFamouz
I been in this fight since I was a kid
Like Santa man I'm making a list
I'm a check this twice and a gift I give
Want to make things right for the life of my kids
Got to stand and fight so I don't forget
That a man who won't isn't fit to live
Ain't about your vote get up out your head
Got to let go now unite instead
Make it right got to make amends
Because it ain't alright how the hate is spread
Wanna sleep at night but the dream is dead
Ain't afraid to hope but I'll fight instead
Cuz if they the rose We The Stem
I stay awake at night but once I had chased the light
I knew that I might fail but I could not sleep when I can fight
I stay awake at night but once I had chased the light
I knew that I might fail but I could not sleep when I can fight
I'm alone at night trapped in my mind
I'm afraid I'm right and we all know why
Cuz hundreds fight while millions die
And the ones who win retell a lie
We spit dumb shit while they divide
And wonder why the culture died
I've done my best and swear I've tried
Lost what we had tried to find
Got a light cuz I'm still lookin
Put my face inside a book and
Tried to make a correlation
Note the noble and the crooked
This is just an observation
Of the classes we been put in
I'm not tryin to start a war
I'm asking you to take a look
Take a look in all directions
Stand and face your own reflection
Make a change with every breath
Because we can fix this fucking mess
But only if we really want to
Day by day we're Nosferatu
One by one we die inside
Trapped between the will or want to
Congress Healthcare lies and fortune
Justify the spies and wars and
Social Sickness we've been poisoned
Facebook Tik Tok fill the void
But I'm about to make some noise
Light the fire call your boys
When AntiFamouz goes away
You'll hear the echo of my voice
You'll hear the echo of my voice
You'll hear the echo of my voice
I stay awake at night but once I had chased the light
I knew that I might fail but I could not sleep when I can fight
I stay awake at night but once I had chased the light
I knew that I might fail but I could not sleep when I can fight
