Cedar's Intro

The systems got me fucked up and all my choices all the dreams they couldn't lock up It's all important all a part of the story console me I feel So impressionistic think my mind just needs to heal Huh? Who am I when faced with burning gates Children left to rot inside the homes their parents made Ah, it's all a daze Ah, can't find my way My thoughts are creeping now the evils really taking shape Huh Who am I when faced with glaring stares? It's getting deeper now I'm feeling so removed from here I'm seeing people laugh I'm seeing people cheer It's all the same people who would try to take our years They take our lands then expect to fucking shake our hands Devoid of plans they would rather purge than make amends One second they pled next second they're dead It's all about the children listen you'll see where it led You'll see their fear the roots that branch to leaves The trees they couldn't cut are lining up in the streets, what's real? Isn't a human being's right a home Inside a land where they'll never fucking feel alone They fear Life Life Life Life Life Life Life! Where are my beautiful flowers the ones with power The ones who never back from a fight and never cower The ones who wear their flags on their back like superpowers The patterns of our lands & life it's really ours Who am I? When all I've ever been was light and into this new manifestation now been forced into fight I mean it's just my privilege the topic's so insidious Never had a choice of freedom only had a choice of life Life! It's obvious politics ain't my strong suit I mean I sit with mediums the middles always better for peace Like who am I when all my demons moving better than me It's honestly such a relief when I just let go of grief Am I deserving of these, verses that's given to me From powers higher am I allowed to just voice my defeat I mean Colonized crescent Golden exiles I'm feeling turbulent hurting with all this permanent pain Like are the answers found in words or are they all in the brain I guess I'm certain of one thing its that we're going insane and this I mean it's peace my brother it's really peace How could we care for another when trauma is running deep It's that awareness that fucks you it really fucks you I'm tearing down all the walls I won't even discuss you I mean the proof is in the pudding the footing is getting loose You're fucking up your momentum the balance is on the move I'm channelling all the hues when tuning into the news Who's really finding peace when they systems faced on you The systems got me fucked up F*ck!
