us - cannibals lyrics

[verse 1]
would trayvon still be alive had he been in the light?
zim’ took pride in what he thought justified in the night
but of course the deer has to choose between fight or flight
when caught in the headlights of the truck and then shot outright
but the hunter takes delight in the search for his prey
and it’s f-cked that a boy should at the end of the day
stay out of sight, for fear of becoming prey
but that’s liberal talk, so you don’t give a f-ck what i say
and it wasn’t just bad luck, wrong place at the wrong time
it’s more to do with the mad f-ck
who saw race as thereupon crime
and thereupon a crime to commit
it’s why george pulled his nine
shot two, left a boy lying in the street dying
i’m always sighing at this bullsh-t
the black boy ain’t the culprit
so get down off your pulpit
you really trying to argue that that little boy deserved this?
that’s racist, no other way to say it
just face it, your hate is based in the hastily made interpretations

[verse 2]
f-ck your ‘stand your ground’
cop out to crime won’t make you safe and m-ss incarceration still enslaving backwards from reparations, ain’t been right since bacon’s rebellion
injustice in the justice system is just a symptom of capitalism
when prisons profit from convicted victims of a vicious cycle that restricts existence
over a quarter century till it’s been a century
since emmett till was k!lled just for being black
and cyntoia brown in penitentiary after imprisoned by the predator that she attacked
how was jakelin caal supposed to react when she was dying at the border in a cage?
does it fill your heart with rage?
the little girl was prey
no matter your age, the man’ll k!ll ya

[outro]
on the edges, they will prowl
(tribalism: shy where we share the wisdom)
like a howling wolf or a careful owl
(individualism: alone and to each their own)
but aren’t we all just human beings, human being, human beings?
(survivalism: alive in a selfish system)
why do you wanna k!ll our dreams?
(cannabalism: defeat and to eat their own)
