Lyrics
Black Youth
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I've heard about brain drain
Unemployment and inflation
But I define all this with the word brainwashing
While we struggle to seize the day
Corruption feeds our stomach
They fuck with our lives again
Black youth, burning fast
Is burning fast in flames
This world is becoming the Hall of Shame
The Hall of Shame
If there's a line
I've heard thousand times
It's: Vote for me
And we'll change the world
The only thing I vote for
Is your extinction
We all met in the end, same floor, same dust my friend
Black youth, burning fast
Is burning fast in flames
This world is becoming the Hall of Shame
The Hall of Shame
There's no real need to say
We are building the future
Like the graves we are digging ourselves, right now
And you'll have the picture
Of what we became
Through what can't we see
And what we can't we blame
It's sold on screens
Turn it up, bleed for me
Mind out there, for the collision
That's the set up coming down
Welcome to falsehood
That's the set up coming down
They fuck with our lives again
Black youth, burning fast
Is burning fast in flames
This world is becoming the Hall of Shame
The Hall of Shame
There's no real need to say
We are building the future
Like the graves we are digging ourselves, right now
And you'll have the picture
Of what we became
Through what can't we see
And what we can't we blame
What can't we see
And what we can't we blame
