I spoke up to let you know
I spoke up 'cause I truly love my home
Even though we fell from grace
Existential battles rage

Far away from God's eyes
For today, I'm the prey
For today, I'm the prey

I spoke up for the youth
Justice can't be served without the truth
Even though my life's at stake
Freedom's not an oath you break

Far away from God's eyes
For today, I'm the prey
For today, I'm the prey

I cannot forgive you
For this violence that defines you
Mindless arrogance display
Karma will be the hand play
For today in our eyes

You're the prey
Come what may
You're the prey
Come what may
Go away
Go away
Go away
Go away
