Coexist

Today I shed a tear for us 
because it breaks my heart knowing 
that we will stand up for hate and tragedy 
but can't see the blasphemy that's right in front of us in the country 
you see they call the radicals terrorist 
because their ears are no longer plugged 
and polluted with this poison the government is spewing 
and it's shame you don't see it but you hear about it 
maybe you're used to the smell of raw sewage 
I mean how can you vote for a two party system 
which is designed to make sure the rich folk stay rich folk 
I'm wide awoke this ain't on no conspiracy theory b.s. 
vote yes for the revolution it's coming 
stop ignoring what's right in front of you stop fronting 
name one politician who's ever fought for the people 
and yet you call these war criminals just people? 
We work the hardest but they keep the profit 
we the  they the pimps 
truth hurts don't it I guess I should stop it 
we ass backwards minimum wage for taxpayers 
while the 1% live lavish 
naw they can't have what they didn't deserve 
how the wealthy gon make a decision about you 
me, or that homeless man on the curb 
The system is broken and this is evidence slavery obviously still exist 
you're a slave to the system and without it I wonder are you still coexistent
