I stand tall I raise my fists
I pray all this pain might lift
I don't want to die tonight
But I can't live another day like this
The first time I ever broke the law
Was just being born in a zone that's controlled by y'all
A foreigner in my own damn home land
Made me a sixteen year old, grown man
I was aged by the pain that I saw
Outside my front door was the front line of a war
Shots gets fired I cry on the floor
Underneath my bed tryin' to hide from it all
I try to recall the first time that I saw
Someone close to me die and my mind starts to draw
A blank
There's far to many of us die
Genocide it's a genocide
And our enemies will never be satisfied
Until not even our memories survive
It feels like they got the whole world on their side
And the story of my people will never reach your eyes
But understand one damn thing I can't run
I don't care where the liar got his drink from
I'll rush your tank with not even a hand gun
Only a rock from the land that I stand on
