4everoasis - SOULED OUT

You've taken all my tears, you've taken my respect
You've taken all my blood and all my freedom you control
You've taken all my breathe, this weight upon my neck
But know that I'll be damned if you ever take my soul
I'm in the South looking at the green pastures
Lately I've been forced to binge watch all these pastors
Serving us with the eulogy, racism isn't new to me
I just wanna see the back end of the hatchet, but they prefer my casket
I mean- is it the pigment that makes me a mole
All of the darkness I face but they look at my face till I'm facing the end of the road
No oesophagus. I cant even stomach it, confidence turned to arrogance
How you gon undervalue a life you ain't even packaging- Guess its back again
All the demons, that we slayed. Resurrected out the grave
From the students to the slaves. From the lawyers to the maids
Its a cycle yesterday- now today
You've taken all my tears, you've taken my respect
You've taken all my blood and all my freedom you control
You've taken all my breathe, this weight upon my neck
But know that I'll be damned if you ever take my soul
Xenophobic, they tell me its gonna work out but I don't see the aerobics
Femicide deep inside of the psyche, its plain to notice
That activism wont fix it because its beyond broken- Unspoken
I wanna hear the names of every perpetrator, cause the victims don't deserve the shame
This is not a game. I am not afraid
My mother lived through fear. I've seen the death of peers
Its gotta end right now. It needs to end right here
You've taken all my tears, you've taken my respect
You've taken all my blood and all my freedom you control
You've taken all my breathe, this weight upon my neck
But know that I'll be damned if you ever take my soul
Don't you ever take my soul, you won't ever take my soul
Just know that I'll be damned if you ever take control
Don't you ever take my soul, you can never take control
Know that I'll be damned if you ever take my soul
