Compliance & Nonviolence (Suffering In Silence)
They killed a man who preached nonviolence
And are still demanding that we suffer in silence
Met with threats of violence for taking a knee
So tell me why do you sing O' say can you see?
Can you not see the hypocrisy in any of this?
Historically, revolutionaries have used their fists
As a means to resist so we ALL can live free
From the tyrannical oppression of evil entities
Quoting Stokely, an enemy must have a conscience
In order for nonviolence to have a fighting chance
There's no romance between beauty & the beast
Bring that fairytale nonsense to an immediate cease
It's played out like a crease in denim jeans
Obtain your sense of peace by any means
It was all a dream when thirteen was ratified
Prisons profiting means that they surely lied
Been taken for rides since the transatlantic trips
Just no longer cargo at the bottom of their ships
Get a grip on reality where political fallacies reign
So casualties won't be family's blood in the drain
Incessant pain remains that makes it hard to breathe
Mentally, physically & spiritually causing us to seethe
Grinding our teeth as they keep denying justice
Raising closed fists as we continue to resist
And are still demanding that we suffer in silence
Met with threats of violence for taking a knee
So tell me why do you sing O' say can you see?

And if the enemy has no conscience...
"We" are not human to "them"
Like the old D.L. Hughley joke "...after seeing what happened to Michael Vick, O.J. Simpson was glad he ain't go on trial for killing a dog"
They killed a man over cigarettes (Eric Garner)
And some bootleg videocassettes (Alton Sterling)
He killed nine in a church
and yet,
You say that I'm posed to "Forgive and Forget"

Bro, you have been expressing the frustration a lot of us are feeling with this system. The more I read about our history (and not what was taught to us 90s kids in school), how peoples of colors and different backgrounds have been oppressed, the more mad I get. That whole thing with the 13th loop hole was just straight up BS.
Powerful write sir. Thank you for sharing.
