Текст песни Injustice - Jessa Calderon



It wouldn′t be LA with out Mexicans
But yo, it wouldn't LA with out Tongva Land
Know where you at
Show respect to the tribe whose land on which you stand
Shout out my relatives showing pride with no tribal id
We′re erased through paper work and false history
Attempts to erase the ancestors were done so violently
Its been expressed,
Americans will become the new Native American
This prophecy comes to fruition
Ask Michigan (embridge)
Alt wrong marching w torches while bitchin
Bout their history being revoked
Now where have I heard that story before
They got the cops on their side as they act in hate and violence
When it's natives in prayer, cops shoot and mace yelling remain silent
America intended for their laws to be one sided
Tears rolling down my cheeks
As we endure injustice in these streets
The privileged don't know our pain
As they take and take and force their ways
Tears rolling down my cheeks
As we endure injustice in these streets
The privileged don′t know our pain
As they take and take and force their ways
Try to remove our voices, children and rights
Then wonder why we resist
On our own land it′s a struggle to exist
We get ignored, disrespected and dismissed
Riots from blacks for similar discrepancies against the perpetrators
They tell us all to go back to somewhere
Failing to acknowledge they're the invaders
Their schools fail to teach us our truths and pride
So its on us to keep our truths alive
Gaining our prides back in these last few decades
After our grandparents were cornered into self-hatred
Our children′s children, will never forget
About broken treaties and broken promises
They take our land, then give us land, and take it away
Yet an Indian giver is what we're named
Dead Silent We will never remain
Tears rolling down my cheeks
As we endure injustice in these streets
The privileged don′t know our pain
As they take and take and force their ways
Tears rolling down my cheeks
As we endure injustice in these streets
The privileged don't know our pain
As they take and take and force their ways
Fear and atrocious corporal punishment is how the European immigrants
Made examples of us since the 1400′s and if you think it's a thing of
The past, think again, from Leonard Peltier,
Orlando Watley to Red Fawn,
The system is still finding ways to falsify
Cases to imprison as well as murder our people
Let us never forget John Trudell's wife, children,
And mother in law who were burned to death in a suspicious house fire,
Which, was never investigated, John T.
Williams a wood carver who was walking down the street carving a
Piece of wood was shot 4 times by Seattle′s police officer Birk,
Allen Locke shot 5 times by officer Meirose in rapid city,
Neil StoneChild, Rodney Naistus,
& Lawrence Wegner who were individually abandoned in the outskirts of
Saskatoon, Saskatchewan,
Canada by saskatoon police and left to freeze to death,
Renee Davis who was contemplating suicide held an empty gun in one
Hand and a magazine clip in the other,
Paul Castaway who held a knife to his own neck,
Both shown signs of depression and clearly needed help,
Both shot to death by police,
Loreal Barnell who was shot 5 times by arizona police officer Shipley
For supposedly holding a pair of scissors, the list goes on.
These indigenous injustices get swept under the rug while those
Claiming to be in power continue to turn a blind eye.
We are thought of and treated as animals,
The biggest mistake in that view is that all
Animals too are the brothers and sisters of man.
