Resist Songtext
von Roland Clark

When they say you are inferior
Do not believe a word they say

Resist

When they say they need billions of dollars to build bombs
Instead of build schools
Open your eyes
Resist
When they say they want to preserve our way of life
So they must take life
This is a lie
Resist

Speak truth to power
Do not comply
Do not believe
Do not accept
Do not be afraid
Do not surrender
Do not judge
Do not bear false witness against thy neighbor


When they stop you and drag you in
And you ask why
And they say that you fit the profile
Run for your life
Resist

When they knock down your door
And say that they are taking your land
In the name of eminent domain
This is not fair
Resist

When they pit a people against a people
And a nation against a nation
In the name of world domination
Resist

Speak truth to power
Do not comply
Do not believe
Do not accept
Do not be afraid
Do not surrender
Do not judge
Do not bear false witness against thy neighbor


When they create unjust laws to repress
Oppress and suppress
Higher learning for our young black minds
Resist

When they conquer third worlds
In the name of national security
And steal their natural resources
Resist
When they refuse to pay reparations
For four hundred years of enslavement of a people
Resist

Speak truth to power
Do not comply
Do not believe
Do not accept
Do not be afraid
Do not surrender
Do not judge
Do not bear false witness against thy neighbor
