RV - Blackout Lyrics

I still hate you
You still hate me
We keep raging
But things ain't changing
We still straining
Still keep maiming
We still raging
But things ain't changing

I was walking by
Cup foods and I saw the guy
Knee on his neck shouting calls and cries
And powerless there we watched him die
It was homicide
In the public eye
Couldn't run or fight
With them guns inside
All this over a counterfeit bill
I wish it'd change but I doubt it will
And I understand privilege
I can feel mad but I still won't get it
Snakes in the grass you can hear them hissing
Without looking back we stop and listen
As they feed them lies
And bring demise
Deceive our eyes
With the screens inside
Stir all the flames
And pull on the strings
We scream online
Man it's all a gimmick
As we send hate to a politician
Give a cop a sentence
Handing consequences
The news sits back to watch while grinning
They got no heart
Used George to play a part
Got a vision on the screens
Get us heated for a week
Then everyone forgets and we back at the start

I still hate you
You still hate me
We keep raging
But things ain't changing
We still straining
Still keep maiming
We still raging
But things ain't changing
I still hate you
You still hate me
We keep raging
But things ain't changing
We still straining
Still keep maiming
We still raging
But things ain't changing

So what do we do now
Light it all up with a full crowd
Making it heard we too loud
Take the brute's down
As we shout at the blue clowns
People still gonna judge skin
No way for anyone to win
While the cowards say let's move on
Ignoring the problem and causing it
Martyr in Trayvon
Martyr in Emmet
Brought hatred to racists but still couldn't end it
How many black lives gotta keep ending
Before this wasteland sees any difference
Keep stirring the rages
And blurring the pages
While slurring the statements
They murder in hatred
The workers of Satan
With fervor they anxious
They burning this nation

When tyranny becomes law
Rebellion is right
When tyranny becomes law
Rebellion is right
When tyranny becomes law
Rebellion is right
When tyranny becomes law
Rebellion is right

I still hate you
You still hate me
We keep raging
But things ain't changing
We still straining
Still keep maiming
We still raging
But things ain't changing
