To glitter like cities breathing below While lights mark time In the lowest room outside The white man's death in the hands of violence Are choking our breath in the prison parks Our righteousness contains the litter That we kill in contempt of ourselves That we kill in contempt We followed these streets to the city's red lights Underneath these iron trees On rooftops worth burning, whispers to prayers In these strange futures, know your rights We kill in contempt of kindness Extricate or obliterate me Don't let it get so far away Don't settle For justice, punch it through the screen And every dead commercial in between Calls you to be captured To write you down We followed these streets to the city's red lights Underneath these iron trees On rooftops worth burning, whispers to prayers In these strange futures, know your rights Know your rights! Know your rights! No, don't settle for justice, punch it through the screen And every dead commercial in between Calls you, calls you to be captured To write you, to write you in We followed these streets to the city's red lights Underneath these iron trees On rooftops worth burning, whispers to prayers In these strange futures, know your rights
