From the recording Helpless
Lyrics
Why these people living lavish?
Why do our rights seem to vanish?
We ain’t equal in this madness,
I just fight to leave the sadness,
Occupiers of this planet,
Colonizers they had planned it,
Generations being stranded,
My relations went to Spanish,
These schools had left them damaged,
Abused when they were ravaged,
They knew they had advantage,
Ridicule them call them savage,
With the government's permission,
Politicians and their titles,
Generations of these Christians,
Still they weaponize their bibles.
Will I die or will I live?
Will I make it out of this?
If I try to run from it,
Will I stay feeling helpless?
I’ve been feeling helpless, I’ve been weighed down,
I’ve been feeling helpless, need a way out.
I’ve been feeling helpless, Counting days down,
I’ve been feeling helpless, helpless. (x2)
Pick a part what’s happened,
How they tried to break our status,
Then my heart is maddened,
And at times I cannot manage,
My elders faced their havoc,
The abduction it was rapid,
The abuse I can’t imagine,
And this pain I cannot fathom, (Yeah!)
I’ve been silenced, I’ve been mad,
I’ve seen violence, understand,
All these tyrants, all these plans,
They designed it in demand,
To take away the children,
The foundation of community,
Break away those buildings,
Now today we stand in unity.
Will I die or will I live?
Will I make it out of this?
If I try to run from it,
Will I stay feeling helpless?
I’ve been feeling helpless, I’ve been weighed down,
I’ve been feeling helpless, need a way out.
I’ve been feeling helpless, Counting days down,
I’ve been feeling helpless, helpless. (x2)
