Stripped and Sold Lyrics

They called it the land of the goddamn free

But now they're coming for folks like me.

Papers signed blood spilled for years

Now they're pissing on dreams and stoking fears.

Stripped and sold dragged back in chains

They don't give a fuck 'bout lives or names.

Deals made in smoke-filled rooms

While they crush our hopes like broken tombs.

"Welcome home" they said with pride

Now they spit "Get out you're not one of our kind."

Promises turned to bullshit lies

But hell no I won't lay down and die.

Stripped and sold dragged back in chains

Fuck their power and their twisted games.

They play God with ink and pen

Messing with lives like it's all pretend.

Freedom's just a trick they sell

Packaged up and fake as hell.

They'll rip it away in the dead of night

Leave you stranded without a fight.

Give 'em a throne they'll build a wall

Give 'em power and they'll take it all.

They sell the "American Dream" as holy bliss

But the truth is they don't give a shit.

Stripped and sold kicked to the curb

They'll bury you deep without a word.

Ain't no justice just smoke and lies

They'll turn their backs while your future dies.

They'll take your name spit on your pride

Act like it's their damn right to decide.

But this land's mine earned fair and square

Come take it back if you fuckin' dare.

Stripped and sold ripped up in chains

While they grin and write up the pain.

But I'm not some pawn in their twisted game

I'll fight 'em hard put 'em to shame.

They lie cheat claw for power and cash

Tear up lives and call it "brash."

They think they're gods untouchable kings

But they don't know the fire we bring.

You want to wipe me out erase my story?

Fuck your laws I'll write my own glory.

I built this life brick by brick

Try and take it you power-hungry pricks.

Stripped and sold but I'm still here

Holding strong no room for fear.

They'll try to beat us drag us low

But this fight's just starting let's fuckin' go.

So here I stand fists tight as hell

In this goddamn place where I will dwell.

They might try to shove us off the map

But we're not backing down from their crap.
