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
