lyrics

Every day is the same
Every day is the same

My entire Black life I felt depressed
From Sean Bell I first felt the stress
Tryin' not to drink myself to death
Or drown my sorrows in my selfishness
I ask my spirit for some helpfulness
Surrounded in the hellish mess
AmeriKKKa is the devil's nest
Chickens comin' home to roost get shot off the roof
Every presidenture chipped off the old tooth
Spittin' image of a noose
Greasy palms can't handle the truth
They talk slick like the answers are on the line in a polling booth
That's a pinky finger in a fist
Burn Babylon down, pigs linger in the mist
I'm just a singer and I'm pissed for the umpteenth
The Trump scene is obscene
I'm rootin for everybody Black so go on 'head and mob tings
And make it home safe
This ain't a marathon or a race
This resistin' genocide enacted by the state
So find ten people and relate
Communicate
They got us fenced in, turn that into communal gates
This is advice that I need to take
Cuz I'm ok but I ain't doin' great
Said I'm ok but I ain't doin' great

Every day I wake up and I try to brush a smile onto my face
Then I sit myself down on the toilet and eliminate my waste
Next I take a shower after that I prob'ly do my hair and shave
Choose and outfit and wonder why my people still ain't free today

Every day I wake up and I
