You wish you could shut me up

You'd like to bring me down

But you can't make me stop

I can swim I won't drown

I did go down before

Your justice ain't so blind

But I'm still there for more

And I damn well know your kind

Tell me again what is there to see

Tell me again what golden road lies ahead of me

Tell me again that your beautiful democracy

Is there for me, there for free

You can't really deal with adversity

But only people who don't kneel have their liberty

So silence the silent if you will

Keep people obedient be ready to kill

You fed me lies for the longest time

And judged the cries like they were a crime

My anger's loud and clear I'm one of those who bite

And you can't cloud with fear my will to stand and fight

It's time for a lesson in humility

It's time you get your dose of reality

I got stronger with what didn't kill me

Know I won't go down so easily, so quietly
