Whose Dystopia? ft. Time, AwareNess & Che Noir Lyrics

Look, there's pain behind the tears I cry

A system we fell for years tried to scare my tribe

Threw us inside a system you perceive it as perfect

Come take a walk as I'll show, let you see it in person

Take a look to the left that's a man just trying to provide

Coming from work 12 hour shifts at night when he drives

Pulled by a cop for no other reason besides his skin

Reached for his license one shot he brought his life to an end

Look to the right a young girl with so much potential

The things she fights to avoid is all that shows outside her window

And they aint' excuses they didn't know it was bad

Gotta work twice as hard just to only half

And imagine being judged off your color of skin

Something that's out your control you got to struggle wins

Murder, violence and drugs the only thing that seem real

With death is like robbery either play sleep or get killed

People are starving The rich gobble taxes

That's why people are starving

People rebel, the rich oppress them

That's why people rebel

People hold life cheap The rich make it too costly

That's why people hold it cheap

But those who don't live

For the sake of living are worth more than the wealth seekers

The cracker didn't have the TP in the back of the Acura

His voice cackled dystopia to a settler that's factual

A virus consumes its host with violence and leaves its transactional

History isn't materialist, different realities are actual

Don't you see hell in the Treaty of Tordesillas?

Don't you see dystopia in Santa Maria?

Don't you see apocalypse in the Mayflower's anchor?

Don't you see sci-fi in the smile of a banker?

George Washington said he was making providence

But the Iroquois called him town destroyer

And this country's been robbing sense

At sand creek they saw apocalypse in the US flag

The treaties were trash they need to just give the land back

Thomas More's book Utopia was based on slavery

No gods, no masters, no western thought papacy

You must have copious amounts of myopia look up Cahokia

Cuz what you call family history could be someone else's dystopia
