You demand our forgiveness But we say hell no
They claimed they freed us
But if chains instead of whips
Was your idea of freedom
We'd rather be dead
At least then we wouldn't have to deal with your racism
All you did was remove the sun
Put is in solitary confinement
Psychologically tortured us
If this is your idea of an apology
We'd hate to see the solution
Was reparations segregation
Or was it martyrdom
You demand our forgiveness
But what have you done
To earn salvation
Especially when that's not what you want
You just want control
You just want to be a hero
That is not propaganda we are falling for
Telling you 'no'
Gives us generational power
Knowing we won't be your puppets no more
You're not our masters anymore
The taste of victory is the taste of no remorse
Our ancestors ran so we could walk
You'll know no peace until you acknowledge your wrongs
So when you demand forgiveness
We will scream hell no
How dare you still try to control
After everything you've done
The way you treated our ancestors
The way you continue to treat us right now
How dare you insult our intelligence
Did you really think we are that gullible
You erase our history
You steal our culture
You eradicate our people
And you expect us to be quiet
And be your soldiers
To do what you want
Then take all the credit
And reap the rewards
We know your system and we can't be bought
So now we'll say it one more time
You dont have our forgiveness But you will pay for your crimes
