lyrics

I was rollin' around.
I was bombin' the hill on Fairlane Avenue.
Lookin' for something to do.
I was bored as fuck in a rush to grow up,
and then the sky began to change hue.

Clouds rolling in as adulthood set in.
I took a look from side to side.
I saw ageing faces and empty eyes.

Another year on the ground.
There's tears flowing from my mother's eyes.
Nobody's asking for this.
All we do is work and sacrifice
But all around you see,
a country built with hands that bleed.
Dollars clenched in their fists.
It's what I know, it's what I know.

Where did the years go?
They've been stolen from me.
There's no American dream,
it's the American heist.

Toil away just to make ends meet,
while the colonizer makes of with my piece.
They build a nation upon our bones,
then leave us out here all on our own.

Time waits for no man.
The pendulum swings on and on.
How long will you wait there,
while the blue chain binds us all.
