Who the hell can we trust when we can’t trust who’s in charge?
And who the hell can we trust when we can’t reach for the stars?
And who the hell can we trust when the future’s at large?
Tryna fight for what’s right, and I’ve grown callous from scars (Yea, yea)
Police act sans evidence
We got jackasses as presidents
Our intentions spark tensions that die
Then retention of disaster is little
Politicians draw lines for people stuck in the middle
They say they carve minds but instead they only whittle
And I’m tired of society, the fickleness and lies
Fed up with representation plotting from the inside of a disguise
Racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia
Been backed up by a cabinet ignoramus
Trump been acting with a stick right up his anus, entertainment for some
But estranging most of the masses at a flick of the thumb
F*ck the history we been taught in our classes
Segregation still exists in privileges and taxes
And blue blooded assassins target millions of innocent civilians
For their color and their status
And it’s stayed static
Gunshots get louder every day
Neighborhoods get dangerous, schoolkids get slain
Mosques get raided but we’re still debating the second amendment
Like kids lives haven’t ended
Higher-ups couldn’t relate, a country stuck in debate
The federal and the state try to determine our fate
Their egos they just inflate, money and power masturbates
A bunch of fools who can’t keep this fucking country straight
Banking on seniority but tanking from exorbitance
Said “thank me for authority” but not for broken influence
Flanking insecure, rife with hypocrisy
Life is democracy run by dishonesty
So f*ck Trump, f*ck 12, f*ck these self righteous pricks
Who think they’re the shit, based on their color of skin
Sifted by colors and screens and what the president posts
This “American Dream” has been a nightmare for most, shit
So many are just clinging to hope
Still trying to evade while they come for our throats
All of y’all are so blind to see
I’m calling from the pits so can you hear me?
Who the hell can we trust when we can’t trust who’s in charge?
And who the hell can we trust when we can’t reach for the stars?
And who the hell can we trust when the future’s at large?
Tryna fight for what’s right, and I’ve grown callous from scars (Yea, yea)
