Magnetic North - We Will Not Be Moved lyrics
Your rating:
They stigmatize us, the bitterest of poisons We gotta fight it, no living in avoidance Ain't you sick of suffering the bitter disappointment? "Hell Yeah!" Then join us, trust in our tactics Prove we ain't moving like rush hour traffic I've had it, it's madness, I literally shook Hearing tales never told me in a history book Caught in misery's hook, seein', faces screamin' Fathers gettin' slaughtered, daughters raped and beaten While they are weepin', mothers sitting stunned Clutchin' on to dog tags that belong to her son See the fight has begun, but the silence is over… Yo, this is for my soldiers, this is for my culture This is for the lives sacrificed on the road to Peace and prosperity, it's theirs to redeem Shattered, broken battered, the American Dream… Nonexistent, we living in a system, consistent With prisons, restricting your wishes and visions So listen, we had enough, we had it rough It all added up and now we rattled up, so CHORUS: We will not be moved Yo, take us to the brink, call us chinks and gooks, but We will not be moved I refuse to still live my life confused We will not be moved Detachment or action you've got to choose, but We will not be moved Generations overdue now we gots to prove Yo, sometimes I don't know who I am, maybe I'm a freak Cuz even Asians, man, they be giving me heat Cuz you see, I'm Chinese, but Chinese I can't speak I only know English, I guess that makes me unique? Cuz I get no love, from my own people I'm a disgrace to my race, a culture-less individual Plus I ain't the typical, model minority Being a scholar intellectual ain't my priority That's me, an ABC with no future My grades are shitty, even if I had a tutor I'm not good with the books, that's just my nature But being Asian and all, must mean I'm a failure Cuz yo, that is what is expected If you don't follow the trend, you ain't respected See even though I'm good at spittin' raps and making tracks I still get down played, for not being black As a matter of fact, yo, ain't my skin yellow? So what am I doin' rapping? I should be playin' the cello But really though, this is the kind of shit that I fuckin' get Impressed, I speak English without an accent C'mon, I'm getting sick, to my dick, with these stereotypes. But I'mma keep my head up, and just carry the mic And spit rhymes, till I'm dead, despite if it's right Cuz this is one chink, that ain't gonna follow the hype. So follow me and fight and let me hear you say… CHORUS: We will not be moved Yo, take us to the brink, call us chinks and gooks We will not be moved I refuse to still live my life so fucking confused, I said We will not be moved Detachment or action you've got to choose, say We will not be moved Generations overdue now we gots to prove See, I don't know all the answers But I have hopes Don't act like you dying from cancer, tied in ropes You want shit to change, rearrange your mind first Then we can begin to lift this curse, cuz we.. Faceless, people living on the Basis, that we evil in this racist Place where we taste this Discrimination Damn, do I hate this Man just erase this Constant complacence We constantly facing A storm that's been raging Inside these rib cages And why? Cuz we Asian We die for this nation And cry for salvation For lifetimes and ages..
