Never Enough

I'm never enough
Too stubborn, too rough
I speak off the cuff
Too hard to trust
Faith's been broken
Stamped out totems
They crushed my emotions
Replaced them with potions
Took away my devotions
Slathered me with lotions
Burned at my skin
Killed the Indian within

But even without
i still scream and shout
They aren't my masters
Don't need to move faster
Don't need to be plastic
My hearts an elastic
My mind can be spastic
But that's cause they trashed it

Dragged me through the gutter
Lathered up their words with butter
Feeding into the online clutter
Just wanting so bad to shutter
Every word and post down
They don't want me around
Speaking up for the people
Who don't need the church steeple
We ain't full of fuckin' weakness
Don't have any fuckin' sickness
Tired of being expected to believe in
All the shit they keep on feedin'
To us about how we supposed to be
What it really means to be free

They think they fuckin' know us
But they really tryna fuckin' own us
Not impressed by all they do
Those fuckers lie and cheat and sue
Each other, always looking to blame
Point the finger, take the shame
Like it's a crime to be a human being
Prisons of the minds, we need to be freeing
Freestyling jams like the man
Speaking out about Silent Sam

Pictures of where we run to
In our minds we go away
Don't matter if we fuckin' pray
There's nothing you can do or say
To take all this fuckin' pain away
I served my heart up on a tray
For the world to pick through
Decide the way

A new way to torture us
Another smorgas-board bus
Always hypnotizing
Implying we ain't realizing

Keep us down, keep us quiet
Don't want to spur another riot
Quell the masses
Keep the tension
Slow it down
Don't want no mention

My life is reality
But no one can see me
Under my covers
Nothing to discover
