At the end of the day we have but one choice,
The good and the bad, we all have a voice.
The restrictions that are set, we wear like a noose,
Nothing we can do to call out a truce.
Held back and bound,
Preventing us from making a sound.
God forgive us, and save us all
The eager and the meager, they all walk tall.
Those who are willing to backstab and lie,
Are the same brothers and the mother to cause us to die.
One step at a time, for a nickel or a dime
They steal away our lives and aren't punished for the crime!
This world isn't a blessing, no, it's a curse!
You hide behind lies while you rehearse.
You're just playing a part, just a fake.
But I swear to God, I will never break.
This is me, no, this is I.
The one and only, I'm not afraid to die,
I'll stand for what I know, to this world I will show
What it means to be a man, what it means to be all I am.
Until this breath leaves my lungs, for as long as I can!
I will suffer for what I believe, and suffer for what I stand,
But I will continue talking until my words are banned.
Then I'll be one to have to hide,
The weary will come to me to confide,
And from here I'll spread the truth,
One by one, I'll save the youth.
And when it's all over and done,
I'll be blessed......for never again, shall I run.
