You wanna pressure me
You wanna inject me
You wanna push me in a pit
Of pins and needles
You wanna muzzle me
You wanna cover me
Until I'm breathless
And feeble

I didn't plan on going to jail tonight
I didn't mean to disgrace my family
But I'd rather go and kill myself
Then bow and cave to the tyranny
This is not what I want to see
This is not what it used to be
You can point, you can laugh at me
All you want
But I think about our children
And will they resist like me

You wanna pressure me
You wanna inject me
You wanna push me in a pit
Of pins and needles
You wanna muzzle me
You wanna cover me
Until I'm breathless
And feeble
I just wanna walk around untouched
And you have the nerve to look at me pissed
When I see your eyes glued on the news
I know American slavery still exists
This world's not created for saving
And I'm not an activist
I'm not in any box
So don't label me a fundamentalist

You wanna pressure me
You wanna inject me
You wanna push me in a pit
Of pins and needles
You wanna muzzle me
You wanna cover me
Until I'm breathless
And feeble
You wanna pressure me
You wanna inject me
You wanna push me in a pit
Of pins and needles
You wanna muzzle me
You wanna cover me
Until I'm breathless
And feeble
