Michael Kangaju - Resurrection Lyrics

Kangaju made this
They pulled up to the hill
Thought we were scammers so they caught a mood and were armed to the teeth
New nazi regime
Antisemitic and racist, they really said "shit is not sweet"
They came with a noose, busting down doors of the nation they said that they want to protect
Watching this all on my TV just knowing if I even thought of this, I would be dead
I can't wear my pride on my body the way they made lifestyles of making America great
I pity the people that label this pessimism, but they've never been black for a day
I feel like an animal caged in a zoo how they handfeed us lies just to tell us "we're free"
That's their insurrection, but this is my resurrection, I will fight 'till my people are free
Nuevo noir
(Aye) That's the motto I came to address
We went from the chains, to the fields, to the city but somehow came back to the knees on our neck
You know who we are
But we're second class citizens coming from you
If I can't be black and be born in America without the tyranny, what do I do?
My ancestors thrived
Doesn't mean I should go back to the tribes that you burned at the stake
"Go and be gone, if you don't like it, then leave"
"That's reliable," give me a break
Nuevo noir
We crafted a culture anew in this world that be drawing their guns
Not a threat, but all of the people of color that dared to speak rather than run
They pulled up to the hill
Thought we were scammers so they caught a mood and were armed to the teeth
New nazi regime
Antisemitic and racist, they really said "shit is not sweet"
They came with a noose, busting down doors of the nation they said that they want to protect
Watching this all on my TV just knowing if I even thought of this, I would be dead
I can't wear my pride on my body the way they made lifestyles of making America great
I pity the people that label this pessimism, but they've never been black for a day
I feel like an animal caged in a zoo how they handfeed us lies just to tell us "we're free"
That's their insurrection, but this is my resurrection, I will fight 'till my people are free
Way too far from ideal
That's the reality that the majority doesn't believe
That must be nice to be so beyond privilege you can't see corruption before your own eyes
I'm sick and tired of having to stand up for rights that a nation said belonged to me
Way too afraid to live life as an operant against environments breeding my death
Bro, look alive
They say they build walls to protect but they're only put there to divide
You can't tell the difference of whether you're gifted or screwed by the walls 'less your land is denied
I'll let 'em know
Making my waves with a purpose, but if you don't know who I am
Hello, wassup
I cultivate dreams for the future for those who can no longer stand
