Suffer Peacefully

Somebody taught you to hate your lips
Somebody taught you to hate your skin
Somebody taught you to hate yourself
From within
For the state that you're in
Somebody taught you to hate your hair
Somebody taught you to hate your mouth
Somebody taught you to hate the words
You choke down
While the movement is cowed

Hate
We know the weapon they use
They got the guard
We've got the theory and the practice to prove
Muzzles and molotovs turn flicker to flame
Taught us their history
Was their biggest mistake
Molded by their hate
Mayflower majesty and government blankets
Soaking up each page
We'll use their ink to implement our own changes

There's a map of Hampton's room
A pickpocket distraction
A leveled block in Philly
And a satchel of plastic
The patriotic cover for the terrorist tactic
Melt the hammer and the sickle down
Like federal blacksmiths
The struggle that kills me
Is one that keeps me alive
Six and ten o'clock news
Watch the innocent die
Watch the clip on repeat
Watch the life leave the eyes
A class of will pigs jubilate
While the dissidents rise

Anyone associating workers' rights and race
Locked up in a prison or a bullet in the face
We're digging our frustration
From Chicago sheet rock holes
Outnumbering our masters
Use our hate to gain control
Somebody taught you to suffer
Peacefully
Don't stop
Don't stop suffering
Just suffer peacefully
