Fucked Up If True

(album: Diaspora Problems - 2022)

I don't wanna be my enemy, I don't wanna be my enemy
I certainly don't mean to be alienating
I certainly don't mean to be alienating
Wink-wink, wink-wink-wink

Fuck I look like wearing emotions like an ankle-weight or ball-and-chain
And wading in the four-year blue tide just to have a side?
What faith? We displaced and I never asked to participate in this mistake
But I slap on a face like a blank slate as real estate for a projection field day
I'm sorry that my personal memories don't predicate the greatness of the state, of the state
I guess I just wasn't raised that way, nah

So we just gon' always vote in false elections and accept each result
And its effects as though people were powerless?
Do you feel supportive care?
How do you wake up every day?
What enforced your belief that you can vote their power away?

Do you feel supportive care?
How do you wake up every day?
What enforced your belief that you can vote their power away?

Alright, now this part is about me wanting to just put it all aside and "connect" like y'all be talking about

The degree to which you feel free is written in your genes through your family's history
You so feasibly see how easy life could be pushing on incrementally
'Cause someone you're used to seeing is representing while others learn to live in the smallest space
Life gives for so long that it ain't shit to live and die inside of it
But for others of us, still there's no more waiting for the will to come down from Capitol Hill
We just want weapons set to kill
Armed resistance in the streets of every vulnerable community
