LASKA - ANTHEM

ANTHEM

Put your fists up, down with the anthem, gon out your fists up

My skins brown
Watch it glisten in the sun
I share this frown
With the brown town
Watch this shit burn down
It's just shit burned down
We run and we're getting gunned down
Tired of the run
Tired of the run
Tired of the sun going down
Another day
The worlds on fire now

Damn.

Stand with me
We ain't even free
Stand with me
We ain't even free
Stand with me
Stand with me, with me now
Stand with me
We ain't even free
Stand with me
We ain't even free
Stand with me
Stand with me, with me now

Oh--

Don't shoot
Don't shoot
Don't shoot
Don't shoot me

Oh--

And don't shoot
Don't shoot me
Don't shoot

Sometimes I feel dark in my mind
I need a guru
I need a new brew
Bubblin bubbles
In my new stew
Feelin CooCoo
Speaking Zulu
I'm another person
Like a motherfuckin voodoo
I am pathologically
Insane
And I am pathologically
Ingrained
To deny bullshit
To the brain
Nerve fibers snapping off
Turn into Cain
Beat Abel in the head
Then I fled in the night
One foot in the dark
While I'm graspin for the light
Can't play nice with life
So I return to the right
Side of the brain
That just erase pain
From the glass
Window panes
We've been stained in the mass
Sounds of chains
Grains and sugar cane from the past
Unleash the winds from the kin
Blow the fucking mast down
Gloves off
Bout to get the knock down
Rock down

Put a fist in the air
If you care
For the daring people of color
Stolen from the motherland
Wasn't planned
Cotton hands
Torn, prick prodded
Disbanded to expand farmland
Uh
The truth of this nation
Built off the backs and racks
Of black mans
women's Hands
And in the midst of our twist
Gusto and strong fists.
We put em up to Exist!

Stand with me
We ain't even free
Stand with me
We ain't even free
Stand with me
Stand with me, with me now
Stand with me
We ain't even free
Stand with me
We ain't even free
Stand with me
Stand-
And we ain't even free
And we ain't even-

And we ain't even free in this country until we
And we ain't even free in this country until we

And we ain't even free
We ain't even free
And we ain't even free

And we ain't even free in this country until we
(We not free nah)
And we ain't even free in this country until we die
(We ain't free nah)
And we ain't even free in this country until we
(We ain't free nah)
And we ain't even free
And we ain't even

And we ain't even free in this country until we die
Uh
And we ain't even free in this country until we die
Uh
And we ain't even free in this country until we die
And we built it on our backs and we've seen it with our eyes

Uh

We built it on our backs and we've seen it with our eyes.

And we ain't even free
And we ain't even

And we ain't even free in this country until we die
And we ain't even free in this country until we
And we ain't even free
And we ain't even free
And we ain't even free.
