mckenzie: [intro vocalizations]

shemy:
judge my heart, not my mind
you ain’t know me, just wait in line
in that city where kids are dying
if it’s not from the lead in the water
it’s the lead from the nine
to save a generation i would give my life
give those who don’t even have a chance no more
to grow up to be doctors and save my life
it’s m-ss genocide so they can’t be white
and i thought clean water was a human right
not according to nestlé
guess you gotta pay for that bpa
bottled during the drop in ca
i see capitalism alive and well
while my friends and family been living in h-ll
rick snyder helped poison flint
but when your dad rich you don’t go to jail
and when your dad rich you don’t give a sh-t
about socioeconomic statuses
unless you benefit from them tax breaks
and the one percent receive accolades
when my grandfather worked five to five
in general motors for twenty-five
just to take a buy-out in oh-five
and still worked hard ’till the day he died
now you’re telling me that’s the american dream?
and my kids can be anything
if they go to college for a hundred thousand
and never live a day out debt-free?
sounds sh-tty. we don’t want pity
all we ask for is a fair chance
equal education for everybody
and a drinking fountain with no lead

mckenzie (hook):
treat my city like you treat your daughters
and treat my people like you treat your dollars
everybody singing [exclamation]
living life in strife from day-to-day
everybody singing [exclamation]
you better treat my city like a home

shemy:
media will pursuade us
to think politicians can save us
“make america great again”
by dividing up all of the races
religions to social cl-sses
as if that’s all that matters
like we aren’t all human
dealing with different circ-mstances
let me paint you a picture so vivid
that you have no choice to see what’s in front of you
regardless what god you believe in
what country you come from
i love every one of you
’cause i see a son in you
a brother, a mother, a father, a cousin who
just wanna live free in peace
there’s war in the streets and war in the middle east
still i see no changes; just racists
we get our news threads with hotheads
and argue over what separates us
hatred is perpetuating
privilege is segregating
the police pepper-spraying
at peaceful demonstrations! [mckenzie: vocalizations]
we see infomercials from across the globe
that can’t drink the water (can’t drink the water)
then it hits home
our youth’s poisoned, our iqs are lowered
futures shattered in a city where hope is already broken
‘course they tell us: “don’t politicize it.”
while state employees drank clean water, citizens were dying
now celebs visit and donate
we throw concerts and fundraise
but before water was ruining lives
it was strays from the ak
i just hope y’all don’t forget
when flint’s no longer trending on twitter
’cause even when wounds are no longer visible
people with scars will always remember

damon mckenzie (hook):
treat my city like you treat your daughters
and treat my people like you treat your dollars
everybody singing [exclamation]
living life in strife from day-to-day
everybody singing [exclamation]
you better treat my city like a home
[vocalizations]
