Take It All Away Lyrics

I'm still alive but it's not easy

When my broken body wants to sing

I learned to clean my hole a little too late

Now I'm late for everything

I never left

I'm there right now

Where the neon green hat they tore to pieces

Was the only evidence they beat me at recess

Take it all away

I'm still alive but it's less easy when my bloodlines come to light

But if I shaved my chest of blackened curls

All you'd see is white

We bought the best

But we had to pay

We took a new name in America, but America could always

Take it all away

Don't it always seem to go

You don't know what you are till you're gone

But gone is a myth

It's a fantasy

Nothing goes

It just flows and flows and flows

I'm still alive but they don't like that

Unmasked and unafraid

They got all the weapons

Who's gonna tell'em that they won't get paid?

I once took home a confederate's great great great grandson

He was afraid of his own cum

All these statues standing like they won

Take them all away
