Resist by Roland Clark Lyrics

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 and you ask why
They say you fit the profile, run for your life
Resist
When they knock at your door and say that they are taking your land in the name of the domain, this is not how
Resist

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

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 regress, oppress and suppress
[I am learning for our young black minds?]
Resist

When they come [to their?] world in the name of national security
And steal their natural resources
Resist

When they refuse to pay reparations
Before hundred years of slaving off our 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
