How Did We Get Here? Nobody’s Sposed To Be Here.
How did we get here? Nobody’s sposed to be here.
We’re the land of the rich
accelerated by black fear.
Ladies, fellas, non-binary,
if we’re so rich…
How come we got a president
who lost his shit?
People starvin‘ in the street
with no pot to piss?
Who’s America is this?
This is the America that always was. Beatin’ black people in the back of the club.
Phone unlocked, loaded,
and ready to shoot,
a trigger happy soldier
compensated by loot.
They’ve been telling white lies for 400 years. Every human knows why we’re here.
You were Irish
You were Russian
Italian Immigrants too
You folded into whiteness
Now protected by blue
We are here ‘cause they told you
You were better than me
‘Cause to you when I’m in chains
You are finally free
