World Full of Lies
  This Revolution has us messed up
  No really, all of this is really f***ed up
  All we want is freedom
  To stay in our home
  But it’s getting too hard for me and my son
  We’re afraid, afraid of everyone
  Scared someone will randomly pull out a gun
  And let blood flow
  Shoot us to the head, will come as a very big blow
  We have to escape sooner or later
  Before we run into a Refugee People Hater
  What we get?
  Bombs thrown from the sky
  What we get?
  No birds that can fly
  What we get?
  Blood stench in the air
  What we get?
  Blood in our hair
  What we get?
  I’m feeling the pain
  What we get?
  No food in the market
  What we get?
  Our kids they be starving
  Finally they come and save us
  Oh no sorry
  We saved us
  Walked 300 miles to the Border, wasn't even a bus
  Hopped on a Plane off to America where dreams come true,
  We looked for companionship, someone to talk to
  The only words we got were.. immigrants SCREW YOU?All we want is a home a nice place to stay
  But they treat us like garbage, they throw us away
  My little baby boy, clutching to his toy, holding in the tears,
  But in his eyes you can see his raging fear
  I try to stay strong, I look him in the eye
  I tell him that everything is going to be fine
  That Papa will join and be right there by your side
  But on the inside I knew that it wasn't alright
  That these americans wouldn't go down without a fight
  That they wouldn't stop until we left
  Or at least until they put us in debt
  But I still told my son that he shouldn't fret
  Because no one will ever be a threat 
  Me and my son sit there in the street
  White man looks at us like we are raw meat
  White man pulls a gun, aims it at my son
  I try to stop it
  But then he pulls the trigger, and pops it
  “Take that you Towelhead I’m gonna leave you all for dead”
  It all goes too fast
  The stench of blood is back, worse than before
  Because my son’s dead, Out on the damn floor
  My emotions takes over, I wail and cry
  I walk up to him, you committed a GODDAMN SIN
  We came here to find a place to live, but then you ruined it
  I tried to come here cuz they said this place was full of dreams but you treat us like s***
  What we get?
  White man pulls out his phone
  What we get?
  I’m stuck here alone
  What we get?
  Dead son in the street
  What we get?
  Cops put their hands around me
  What we get?
  Cops say they found a home
  What we get?
  I’m left in a cell, all alone
