WE DESERVE BETTER

There's blood on the hands Of these beasts in blue And now they wanna matter Like they don't already do There's judges hand picked by 45 Cuz they MAGA pride And they sell his lies We at the bottom With feet on our backs Then they want us to stand With hand to heart for their flag Oh no I just can't do it Act like nothing's wrong No I just can't do it Over 500 years of history in blood Genocide after genocide Dragged through the mud Stolen land and desecration of native soil No regard for human rights To the evil go the spoils And my my my Lord I don't know your plan And I'm trying to understand but My my my I can't wait too long I'm so ready to get it on Cuz We deserve better We deserve better than this We deserve better If there's no restitution We can't forgive We deserve better We deserve a redemption song We deserve better If there's no restitution We can't move on Knees pressed on our necks And we struggle to breathe Illegal chokeholds Putting an end to youth dreams The Atlantic is loaded With the African souls Cradled by Yemonja When their bodies were tossed Taking all in their path Through pillage and rape Manifest destiny The excuses they make Then the bombing of churches Kill the young and the old See us less than human Like we ain't got a soul They Buried our religion So that we praise theirs Some of us don't even know Who we really or where We came from And then they want us to smile In the face of a flag That represents our oppressor And now We struggle for a bag Because the scale's unbalanced We don't live, we survive It's sad But there's hope if we rise together Raise your fists fam we deserve better We deserve better We deserve better We deserve better than this We deserve better If there's no restitution We can't forgive We deserve better We deserve a redemption song We deserve better If there's no restitution We can't move on There's blood on the hands Of these beasts in blue And now they wanna matter Like they don't already do There's judges hand picked by 45 Cuz they MAGA pride And they sell his lies We at the bottom With feet on our backs Then they want us to stand With hand to heart for their flag Oh no I just can't do it Act like nothing's wrong No I just can't do it Over 500 years of history in blood Genocide after genocide Dragged through the mud Stolen land and desecration of native soil No regard for human rights To the evil go the spoils And my my my Lord I don't know your plan And I'm trying to understand but My my my I can't wait too long I'm so ready to get it on Cuz We deserve better We deserve better than this We deserve better If there's no restitution We can't forgive We deserve better We deserve a redemption song We deserve better If there's no restitution We can't move on
