exit here
Black Math Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't get stung
We want you
Follow through
Don't listen, resist now, get out and black out
Free yourself from constructs of power and doubt
Let go of all labels, don't gather in tribes
Violence
Divide
Class
Pride
Avoid, stay clear, there's nothing for us here
Move back, go around, the long way I don't fear
Their voices they carry, they need us to all hear
Acceptance, belonging, respect from all peers
It's not what I need, the reason is unclear
All people, they frighten, I must exit here
