Greg Whitney - Ashamed Lyrics



Greg Whitney - Ashamed Lyrics




I say lets keep it real dark
Cause they don't sell peace in the park
Just a piece of the art that will say who they think that you are
Black faces framed when the fingers on triggers are ours
We'll tear you apart
Show up at our border we'll tear you apart
Cause all we see is a plane and your face plays the part
You can pray but don't pray too hard
Cause all you can love is a flag
Stars stripes and a line in the sand
Not line it's a wall, not a wall it's a screen
Keep the fear meter full and the ammo stocked deep
And don't stop shooting till the streets are all clean
Till your neighborhood's white till the prisons can't breathe
Sit back relax see what you've achieved
We've become what we fight when we want to be free
Minus the free it's just dom
Blinded by the hand we eat from
Be careful my eyes what you see because Hollywood lies and the new isn't cheap
And I talk but I don't know what to believe
And I write but I don't know how to delete
And I sing but that's just to cover the screams
Of the people who suffer they suffer for me

And I know you wanna be proud but I'm ashamed

And the trail is still clear
Look at the sky and the rain is still tears
Cause we never paid but the rent disappeared
Like the landlord is gone or just livin in fear cause
We wiped a whole generation
Right off the map God's holy nation
Oh God what a name in vain
Was the promised land real or the promise of pain
Cause look there's still a world to invade
There's still one life we can dress up in chains
With a fence or a leash or inferior wage
And then let them run and see if they keep pace

And I've been living like there's nothing here to hide
Because it wasn't right before my eyes
And maybe it's the point to keep me safe and blind

And I'll concede that it's not all bad
That there's freedom here and a voice to be had
But we're not all free and we're not all loud
If you've been locked up or your voice turned down and
Maybe soon we'll all find a way
To become what we think when we hear someone say
It's the land of the free and the home of the brave but
The land is still stolen and the home of the slaves

And I know you wanna be proud but i'm ashamed
