Creative Justice is something hard to find
When we're not confronting all the cops inside our mind
If my body's stuck in poverty, then that's a crime
I was born illegal
A criminal by design
But who defines what is and what isn't right
If I pay my taxes then it funds a fucking genocide
It's blood on the leaves, and blood on the roots
My country doesn't bare anything but strange fruit, still
From slave patrols to IOF soldiers
From Gaza to cop cities, cages at the border
We're fighting drones and robotic armed forces
And writing poems when we've got no other choices
I've been hearing post-apocalyptic voices
Screaming what's over there, is here at our doorstep
They decimate the forest, just to build they fortress
Take every dollar that we make and put it in they war chest
I'm in a violent state, trying to find escape
They build another prison, this is why I rage
I got scars from the trauma that remains
I shoulda never been a child locked inside them chains
We're in a violent state, trying to find escape
They build another prison, something's gotta change
There ain't no justice in a system that remains
If there's a single child that's still locked inside them chains
Creative Justice is something hard to find
When we're not confronting all the cops inside our mind
If poverty exists there's gonna be some crime
I could steal food and then have to serve time
While these dudes got kids working in mines
How the most violent state we have ever seen
Built more prisons than there has ever been
And this is the nation that we stay within
There's no protection, no safety, no justice for us
Outside of the ways that we show up with love
I'm a criminal to a system that wants us invisible
I'm a use my voice, I don't have a choice
It's fight back or die, and I refuse to lay quiet
We speak a coded language that they mislabel as riots
We dream another world that is free of all these tyrants
And take the little spaces that we can just to try it
I'm in a violent state, trying to find escape
They build another prison, this is why I rage
I got scars from the trauma that remains
I shoulda never been a child locked inside them chains
We're in a violent state, trying to find escape
They build another prison, something's gotta change
There ain't no justice in a system that remains
If there's a single child that's still locked inside them chains
