Ticking Point

We all gathered here today because we made a decision You’re angered and pissed off I can feel the rise in tension Our problems have been ignored we talk they don’t listen They swept our problems from their existence We’re taken care of it how many times we gotta hear this sentence Have troops and families parted Tell the troops if you see an Iraqian kid aim at his head part it Regardless If they guard less Despite the fact their lives already tarnished No sympathy for their hardships America the most dominant nation in the world the need to know where the bar is Bullets tares through flesh At kids just out the womb, fresh Found out about the murder back page corner of the press Missin white boy front page separated from the rest Everyone gettin evicted Innocent still convicted Our government is malicious Richest country in the world but 49million from mal-nutrition Can’t afford bills let the phone ring Funeral cost so high can’t bury your offspring Gays are called names and assaulted Still no help from politics They receive hate mail not even looked as a figure Victims of rape and triggas That description puts them in the category of Niggas Well today we’re done being silenced We all want to complete the desired assignment That’s why we all stand in alignment All different sized men Ready to commit the ultimate defiance Fck if we get in confinement They fuked us over now we got our mindset Never has there been so much chaos since the nation was in a carriage One day you got millions of proud Americans now across the land you got thousands of terrorist Trust is broken you can’t repair it So grab any weapon One that influences you obsession To cause disturbance Contributing to this nation wide dispersion No more listening time to rebuke We will march to congress with strength that is brute We will be heard Or they be trampled by massive herds Look like your decision to be Great Britain Lead to a fatal collision
