lirik lagu king 810 - we gotta help ourselves

“today president obama declared flint, michigan a disaster area.”
“we’re getting poisoned water, and we have no rights.”
“the children’s blood tests revealed high exposure to lead.”
“go to that school, where that kid’s gotta drink that water right now!”
“they say, ‘why don’t you just move?’ most of us don’t have a choice. we’re stuck here.”
“damage from lead is irreversible.”
“i declare a federal emergency in flint.”

i come from a place where
trouble lives there
crime is everywhere
they ask why i stay here

cause i ain’t built to run
not from a smoking gun
not from the government
not from anyone

my skin’s too thick
and i don’t fear death;
i was raised in the belly of the beast

they got our names in their mouth
cause of our struggle again

flint michigan

step into the lion’s den

man did this
and they bleed like us
and they’ll bleed us to death
but in god we trust

cause the power’s in the people
and the number’s in each other
and our strength is in our sisters and our brothers

and i only hear silence
not when they speak
i hear what they don’t say
cause words remain weak

i’m in the streets with the people
they’re the only ones i trust
cause they don’t really care about us

n-body’s gonna help us!
we gotta help ourselves!
n-body’s gonna love us!
we gotta love ourselves

n-body’s gonna hurt us!
we’re only hurting ourselves
n-body’s gonna help us
we gotta help ourselves

“this week’s issue of times magazine cover story ent-tled, ‘the poisoning of an american city.'”

i come from a place where
smoke is in the air
bodies everywhere
no one seems to care

they ship water to the war zone
you are not alone
we, the people!
with our hands
on the wishbone

this here is murdertown
did you forget?
it’s here today
gone tomorrow
news, will it stick?

they used a holler as a band-aid
and give it to the victims
but you must treat the cause-
not the symptoms

man, we’ve mad it this far
look at our scars
we survived the war
look at our hearts!

i’m a die-hard flintstone
second-ward soldier
and the man can’t k!ll me
out the side, when i go

and we all have access to genius
even when
they poison us when they feed us
even when
it seems like we’re defeated
cause the power still stays in the people

i’m not blaming any longer
but if what doesn’t k!ll you makes you stronger
then you’ve created a monster

in the streets with the people
they’re the only ones i trust
cause they don’t give a f-ck about us

n-body’s gonna help us!
we gotta help ourselves!
n-body’s gonna love us!
we gotta love ourselves
