FIND THE STRENGTH

Stand your ground
Anguish resides in these streets of oppression
Don't back down
Your fate decides when you answer the question
Stand your ground
Forced to adjust to this world of lies
Don't back down
For far too long they've ignored our cries
Know there's a better way for you and I
We gotta find the strength to hold on
And we can't ever lose our grip
We gotta find the strength to hold on
And we can't ever fucking quit
A collective outcry; the result of societal abuse
Expected to turn a blind eye, but we refuse to ignore the truth
You don't suppose we cower in fear and be stripped of our sanity?
You and I must not forget our worth to humanity
Lack of sustainability demands complete dismantling
How can we keep building up while the foundation's unraveling?
There's no use breaking twigs from the tree rooted in evil
Break down the walls in entirety for the sake of the people
What's left of a crumbling nation than the lies we already know?

Can't stop it
Can't stop it now
Is it us, or is it them?
They always blur the line
Convinced you're superior
But we can see the fear in your eyes
We built our resilience while you stole all the shine
You can pit us against one another
But you can't stop our pride
Spent your whole life protected by a cage of uncertainty
You exist in a comfort zone & live life with no adversity
Reject any possible threat to your so-called "pure bloodline"
You neglect your own history and rewrite all the lines
For the truth I'd rather die than live your fucking lie
Brandon Flores of Big Boy:
You always claimed I had your respect
But won't ever look at me in the eyes
You always like to play these stupid games
Now it's time for your stupid prize

WON'T FOOL ME

I've had enough of this bullshit
Tempted to quit but still I try
It's my life, I prove my worth
My time on Earth will not be yours to waste
My life, my time, and I've had enough
We bleed day by day just to get by
Yet you only scratch the surface
Your expectations won't change my pride
I am not your fucking servant
Won't fool me
You're nothing without me
How could you ever doubt me?
You see me as worthless
But I define my purpose
You'll never change my mind
I'll never give you the power
Make you dollar after dollar just to pay me a dime
Fuck yourself, don't waste my time
I know my purpose
So now you fucking deserve this
My pride
Never will you take me for granted
My time
Never will I leave empty handed
My life
I refuse to align, I know my fucking worth
You'll never cut me out of what I've earned

Lost your purpose
Turned to delusional faith
Revolving life around scripture
Insecure of your unknown fate
You treat your opinion as fact and force feed it down our throats
Disseminating your disease across every last inch of this globe
You demand undivided belief for a chance at "everlasting home"
Leaving humanity just one choice
Damned if we do, damned if we don't
We're all god
This life's all we know, a heaven you create
I'd rather die as myself than live according to your empty faith
Enforce your bigoted morality
Justify it in the name of the lord
Credit him with every last decision
Who the fuck you living for?
No one's your savior
You are in charge of this life of hate
Anthony Herrera of Take Offense
Born sinner
Don't need your blessing, I resist
I lead my own damn life
Made it this far just like this
