Lyrics For the People - Siple

My skin is pale but mentally I'm with my people
We like to say it's twenty eighteen but equal still ain't equal
Civil rights was sixty years ago and now were in the sequel
Yet they tear us down for protesting even if it's peaceful
Spit and kick us down cause Colin took a knee
To me that's cowardly coming from the brave and the free
You can tell me what you think yet you speak over me
Yelling in my face sounding so ignorantly
To be clear your president we never did appoint
Since he got into office all he does is exploit
All his power
Pushes his agenda
Tax breaking the rich so everyone remembers
If your white you can get away with anything
Just ask Brock how he got away with raping
But turn on the tv and see Bill's sentencing
Don't you get hit by the slightest of troubling

Home of the brave
Land of the free
A man of the people
Even if they don't look like me
Like me, like me, like, like
Home of the brave
Land of the free
A man of the people
Even if they don't look like me
Like me, like me, like, like

Kneeling was his right
Playing was his privilege
People heard to respond
Never just to listen
He woke up every single day tryna make a difference
They teach you to do right but only with conditions
Don't oppose the system
Never break tradition
But most importantly
Never speak on division
They never want to see us come together on a mission
They never want to see equality come fruition
So tell me why the break you down instead of watch you rise
How they say they want the best for us yet they pray for our demise
They gave us what we fought for only to disguise
Privilege in their favor as they cover up their lies
As they justify the life's they have taken for no reason
A system that shuts you up yet preaches all this freedom
They say they want success yet keep you from achieving
A system based on faith yet they keep you from believing

Home of the brave
Land of the free
A man of the people
Even if they don't look like me
Like me, like me, like, like
Home of the brave
Land of the free
A man of the people
Even if they don't look like me
Like me, like me, like, like
