You get told to respect the man who did this to you Protecting you from yourself, he’s only doing his job You get told to respect the man who did this to you But it’s never enough to make him stop The idea of a straight and narrow path Was carved into an otherwise unmarked stretch of land “In God We Trust” was an afterthought Cause faith is a process, but money changes hands (Money changes hands) Besides, it took some time for the blue paint on the eyes to dry Contacts sold separately And sometimes it gets so frequent That the bruises overlap and blur And I’m caught between forgetting so I can rest And remembering how it hurt And sometimes it gets so frequent That the bruises overlap and blur And I guess you’re ‘colorblind’ so you don’t see it Cause if you did it’d be worse They’re debating what King said While I’m still trying to bury the dead

endless chatter noise pollution all good words gone to waste nothing said nothing done all talk is useless you're gassing up my thoughts & you've struck the match that sets the light you're mixing up whats fact you're mixing up what's fiction and you force it on me blank stares empty minds your voice keeps droning on this has all been a waste a series of lies all you do is talk and talk and talk substance out the window, out the door endless chatter noise polution your honeyed tongue spinning stories tales as strange as they come twisted words sharpened daggers a crown of thorns 'pon my brow fuck it I swear by it I've become the spirit of truth break it down all talk is useless endless chatter noise pollution all this chatter is noise pollution

Tell me how it's going to end After I lose my very last friend. Should I continue even then? All the lessons I've been taught, All the troubles that I fought. Those will not matter when I leave To that God awful place To pay the price for our patriarch's mistakes. They're just sacks of bones too anyway. Took too long to try and too long to fight. Too many executions of too many far too close to home. Butchered by centuries of lies Propagated in our heads, Reverberated when we turn mad. Hardwired to a newborn's Settings. And bugs can always be patched But crises in our code need to be addressed Long before a person's life is cut out. So don’t let nobody use as a tool to enforce suffering.

about

I Have a Mouth and I Must Scream is a compilation of songs focused on anger at the current state of the world and the plight of police brutality aimed at black and LGBTQ people. Across the world, people are uprising, demanding that their local and national governments defund police departments and demilitarize their states. Humankind is begging the powers that be to end the genocide and enslavement of black and indigenous people across the globe and as we protest peacefully, we are met once again with more violence at the hands of militarized police forces.
All proceeds from this compilation will be donated to ALL BLACK LIVES FUND, which "supports grassroots organizing to build visibility and power, promote safety, and amplify demands of those most impacted by both anti-Black racism and gender discrimination."
