OBEY
They say that we should just shut up and obey
Obey every little thing that these overseers say
Last time I checked we ALL have inalienable rights
So we will not be violated and go out without a fight
They even wanted Martin Luther King to just obey
He was nonviolent but even he didn't just say okay
Rise up you mighty people and fight for what you believe
Don't ever just roll over like a mutt for these murderous thieves
Ase' my brothas and sistas! Today is a brand new day
Utilize your voices to express whatever it is you want to convey
The road is exhaustingly long and the path is exceedingly narrow
But one day we'll rise and fly high in the sky like a beautiful sparrow
We must keep each other uplifted and motivated to buck the system
The promise land is inherited by the righteous and isn't delighted by evil tourism
Ignore all of the coming attractions and distractions the media loves to display
The diaspora needs to collectively join arm in arm to radically reduce the rainy days
