No Fighting Words

You've looked down at me
You've hit me
You've treated me as if i didn't have the right to exist and spit at me
Tormented and bothered
Sleepless nights from nightmares of you
Fire burning bright like the hatred you have for me
What i've done wrong, i would never know
Forced into isolation
I feel like an outsider
Anger and frustration, I just want my independence
Foolish wars over differences
Well it ends now
I put my foot down and stand up to be heard
We're all the same, your no better than me
I'll protest and rebel out till we get treated the same
Fighting back harder than you fought me
I have no plans to lose
This is my life too
No fear, i'm doing this for the rights of everybody
No more unfair treatment
No more wrongful killings
No more hurtful judging
No more will this government be absurd
No more fighting words
