Born into a World of struggling and dismay
No, I won’t Live that way
cause pride and self assurance Are not cardinal sins
Your oppressive social standards are wearing thin
I've seen all too many of our brightest minds
just trampled by the world and broken over time
Chorus:
Don't believe their lies
and stand up for the truth
Keep your eyes on the prize
and never forget your roots
don't let them hold you down
when you stop to question why
and keep your head held high!
you took away our heritage and traded it for fashion
ripped out any feelings keep them numbed with distraction
you call this a culture I call it your dead end dream
that leaves us worn and ragged tearing at the seams
I don't want to live in a world full of doubt
If you call this happiness then you can count me out
no more will I just stand by as you rob me blind
no more will I accept that defiance is a crime
no more will self respect mean walking the poverty line
no more will I ignore the voice that says it's time
it's time
it's time
so lets make a difference turn these thoughts into action
let justice guide the way and let truth be the attraction
it's us against them we gotta do what we can
be the molotov cocktail thrown in their master plan
If we sit and do nothing then we might as well be damned
so if you believe like I do then It's time to take a stand

love love love love LOVE this album!!!!! theres not enough space in my brain to write everything i love about it.
i dont normally like instrumentals, but Blackridge Theme really sticks out in my mind. every time I listen to it, I feel like I'm hearing a new song. there's so many instruments, so many rhythms and layers to it and I just can't get enough of it. amazing work, and kudos!! gothsloths

The Taxpayers were able to put down a tacklist of songs that allow us to go on a journey. In this album we experience the manic highs and lows one may experience in a life long battle with deteriorating mental health. The picture at times grim and beautiful is one I continually come back to as its tragedy never fades. Ulysses Johnson
