Halitosis

Mob rule cascades into the cities
Bright lights car sirens at the crime scene
Hopeless, fear floods the hearts of wounded
To act out of protection
To act out of oppression
Oh look we set ourselves on fire
Smoke builds, but the penthouses get higher
Us and them, social segregation
Our walls divide our nations
With separate connotations

I can't see
I can't breathe
This darkness is suffocating
This hatred
We're breathing
It fills my lungs and they're bleeding

News headlines mislead with their clickbait
False words they craft insinuate hate
Fake news we spread on social networks
Who sell our information
But give no compensation
Pandemic causing a conniption
Home learning charging full tuition
School loans, they drown us with the interest
While our elected leaders
Speak with spelling errors

I can't see
I can't breathe
This darkness is suffocating
This hatred
We're breathing
It fills my lungs and they're bleeding

Drugs, Violence, mass incarceration
Rigged systems, profits from deception
Big labels sign their next young victim
Who let them make their millions
While they rake in their billions
Lost virtues, values since inverted
Charts topped with the verses so perverted
Pop culture preaching mass psychosis
Supercalifragilisticexpi-Halitosis

I can't see
I can't breathe
This darkness is suffocating
This hatred
We're breathing
It fills my lungs and they're bleeding

I can't see
I can't breathe
This darkness is suffocating
This hatred
We're breathing
It burns my lungs and they're bleeding
