Step back, don't stop me today (Stay!)
I'm running away (Away!)
Shot shot shot shot to death!
Step back, don't treat me like that (Stay!)
Step off of my neck (Away!)
Shot shot shot shot to death!
A nation so full of pride
So broken and sick inside
A nation unjust and crude
Bearing the weight of truth
This is shelter this is home
The place i die and i was born
The treasure i keep for myself
Blood and tears that we shed
Oh trying, oh dying
Step back, don't stop me today (Stay!)
I'm running away (Away!)
Shot shot shot shot to death!
Step back, don't treat me like that (Stay!)
Step off of my neck (Away!)
Shot shot shot shot to death!
Living a constant fear
The sense dies disappears
A shadow's breath down my neck
A life that i can't protect
Siblings filling up the street
Nightly gatherings in heat
Hidden fears seize me
Here i am but not free
Every journey in the dark
Much more than a simple walk
Hiding pieces of me
Living invisibly
Oh trying, oh dying
Step back, don't stop me today (Stay!)
I'm running away (Away!)
Shot shot shot shot to death!
Step back, don't treat me like that (Stay!)
Step off of my neck (Away!)
Shot shot shot shot to death!
Stay! Away! Shot shot shot shot to death!
Stay! Away! Shot shot shot shot to death!
Shot shot shot shot to death!
