They tried to bury us
They didn't know we were seeds
They tried to silence us
But you can't silence a mind that's free
Assimilate procreate appropriate
To a system that does not work for the marginalized
The working class families
The children in broken homes
The lies the deceit
This will keep them from growing
Assimilate procreate appropriate to a
System that does not work for the marginalized
We learn to hate ourselves
This keeps us from growing
We learn to survive
Our voices will soar forever
One day the children will grow and they
Breathe in the stench that pollutes the earth
And look around and realize all the gentrification that's taking place
And realize that this land and this plan wasn't meant for our people
They tried to white wash and destroy our identities
You can't silence us
