Public Enemy

What do you see when you look at me?
Am I the byproduct of tragedy?
One of the many of a lost generation
Born in the ruins of a broken nation

Politics are parlor tricks
Hate and fear sold in different languages
How long will it take for you to realize
That we’ve had enough, and we’re over it

You can beat me, lie to me, disrespect me
See how long it’ll take me to break and fall apart
As if I ain’t got the heart to carry on this fight

We’ve seen the darkest nights
Damned me from the start
When you label me public enemy number one
That’s alright, ‘cause I’ll take you all on

You can beat me, lie to me
Disrespect me as far as you can see, you will never break me
Beat me, lie to me, disrespect me
Overseer, overseer, overseer

Am I not the future?
Am I not the one to carry on the legacy?
Why is the verdict out before you even heard me speak?

Well, I’m not torn, you’re torn
God tell me how long we can go on like this, so unfocused on the bigger picture
United we rise, divided we die
And you’re so obsessed with our demise

The epitome of tyranny, you turned your back against me
If this is war, you can’t win it
You will never break my spirit

You can beat up on my body
But you’ll never see me break and fall apart
As if I ain’t got the heart to carry on this fight

We’ve seen the darkest nights
Damned me from the start
When you label me public enemy number one

Hey, hey, are you listening?
Hey, hey, can you hear me?

It goes on and on, it goes on and on
Survival of the fittest when the hate is so strong
Unity, rebellion is the armor that I don, to combat the agenda
Brick walls for the barrier, build fear and hysteria

Drop bombs in my area
The gun is superior
This is the revolt coming live through your speaker
Can’t stop, won’t stop

You will never see us break and fall apart
As if I ain’t got the heart to carry on this fight
We’ve seen the darkest nights
Damned me from the start
When you label me public enemy number one

Break and fall apart
As if I ain’t got the heart to carry on this fight
We’ve seen the darkest nights
Damned me from the start
When you label me public enemy number one
