Mkay - Riots

This tho is just the latest and clearest example of a much wider system of disfunction
As government after government in Lebanon fails
To do its most fundamental job and look after its people
Basic, and I mean basic services are amiss.

Where I come from all we know is violence
Wake up every day to the sound of riots
If you wanna live, gotta worship an alliance
My people never back down, yea we lions
Leave them shaken in their chairs cause we'll eat the rich
They try to break us, separate us, and kill our kids
They steal your dreams, kill your people and then take your rights
But we'll never run and hide yea we're here to fight
The people down here are a different breed
But the people at the top are full of greed
Rest In Peace George Floyd yea We Can't Breathe
If you wanna live in here then you cant dream
Please listen, cause I'm speaking from my pain
I don't wanna leave my people man I wanna stay
If I want a better future gotta go away
But I hope when I come back it'll be a better day
Their corruption took away all these poor lives
We're tired from hearing all their lies
You got no remorse? you got some sick minds
Hang up all these nooses time to pay for your crimes
They can come and kill me but ill always speak the truth
And all they wanna do is brainwash the youth
A pure land ruined by all the evil
Controlled by your government is more lethal
The chains breaking, yea they're scared from our freedom
But we're waking up yea these are my people
They rob us then bomb us for commas
Put our hands together so they can't stop us
They make us fight but they watch and sit and laugh
Their goal, is to have a country split in half
So we're distracted from the things they do
Bombs in our capital and they knew
Soon enough, everyone will know their scheme
Let's make the world hear our screams
Hand in Hand as one country and a team
Maybe we'll wake up and this would be a dream
