Beyond Decay Dust Off Your Back
Hope now instilled
I’m no longer stuck on pills
Fight with all of my might
For my rights and my life
No longer am I plagued by a life of civil strife
We all are animals
Animal in a man
Man is now caged
By the laws of the land
Freedom to move
Migrate and relocate
No longer is allowed
Men in power get irate
So we pick up our bags
And continue to move on
Wipe the dust off your back
Before the movement is gone
It’s now time, time to stand now
Till the day the world unites
We will never rest
We take each fact we’re told with a grain of salt’s best
The pollution in the air will lead us to a toxic death
But we know the people have the will to divert this deadly path
Asthma affects almost 50% of the youth
Stick to your heart and realize this is the truth
Keep your head on your shoulders
Don’t drift off into space
Cause we have to stand together
To stop the arms race
Till the day the world unites
We will never rest
We take each fact we’re told with a grain of salt’s best
The sun rises in the east, but it sets in the west
And every single day I’m getting closer to death
Whether you choose, the bullet or the ballot
We gotta take a chance and resist it
Do your part, clean up a park
Maybe there’s a light when all is dark
