What's There To Be Proud Of?

lyrics

Ever since your days of birth you've been shown your life comes first. Look around at what's at stake.
You take and take and take and take.

I want nothing from your race, I just want to hide my face.
Hide my skin, hide my hands, I'm afraid of what I am.
What's there to be so proud of? Do you think it comes from above?
You keep me awake at night. I'm ashamed my skin is white.

You tear down a culture and put up your fences.
Make sure those that are left are defenseless.
Poison the water, the land, and the air.
Some work to death and fight the wars you declare.

This is the legacy of my people, of those who would kill and then claim to be peaceful.

Is it the truth that you think it's your right? That god gave it to you because you are white?
What have you done to deserve such a place? Only the color and shape of your face.
Blindly continuing on without thought because questioning disrespects those who have fought.
You only care about people like you. You send us to kill when we'd rather kill you.

This is the legacy of my people, of those that would kill and then claim to be peaceful.
Poison the water, the land, and the air.
Some work to death and fight the wars you declare.

I chose a side but my skin still reflects the signs of a culture that chose to infect.

I'm not going to be proud.
There's nothing to be proud of.
It's nothing to me.

Fuck white pride.
