We Live

I Is Me simply isn't the band wagon type
We don't do shit simply because it's tradition or popular
When we breathe, we breathe because we have to
There isn't an attempt to synchonize and breathe as one
We live, so we breathe

We drink water and eat food
Not because everyone else is doing it
But these thing are necessary for us to live in this body
It demands nourishment, although we have a delicate palate
We live, so we eat

We hear because we have been blessed with hearing
We don't like what everyone is screaming at the top of their lung
The rage and hatred is deafening in it's intensity
It's as if the entire nation has become one humongous olympic stadium
We live, so we hear

We see because we've been blessed with the gift of sight
The things that are currently visible could cause one to beg for blindness
Faces contorted, twisted with the rage and hatred of racism
Taught from a young age that there is always a us against them
We live, so we see

We have compassion, so we feel all of these things
The weight of this world compounded by the hatred of certain individuals
The strain is amplified knowing that you have no power on this situation
Their hearts have been harden, they will destroy themselves to destroy others
They breathe, eat, hear, and see nothing but hate, this is how they live
