Beat it


Beat it But you can't So why killing us? Because you're afraid of the truth, these are words against your wish. Mere words but are prophecies Beat it But you won't Why fighting us? Because the masses are becoming enlightened, they are suffering but you're enjoying. You're corrupt but kill us on sight. Beat it But you said how Why shouting? Because we are writing against your will And they world are seeing our plight, they yoke is breaking. Questions are asked, but answers are not coming They're our politicians Politicking for their own self wellness . Beat it And don't arrest us Why calling us terrorist? When you knew we have only our pen and paper. You took the laws to your hands and it weighs down your shoulder. Beat it Or leave it . Change it Or we fight it. We can't live with it
