They tried to bury us They didn't know we were seeds They tried to silence us But you can't silence a mind that's free

Assimilate procreate appropriate To a system that does not work for the marginalized The working class families The children in broken homes The lies the deceit This will keep them from growing Assimilate procreate appropriate to a system that does not work for the marginalized We learn to hate ourselves This keeps us from growing We learn to survive Our voices will soar forever One day the children will grow and they breathe in the stench that pollutes the earth And look around and realize all the gentrification that's taking place And realize that this land and this plan wasn't meant for our people They tried to white wash and destroy our identities You can't silence us
