Unveiling Injustice: Hands of God's 245A Lyrics Speak of Systemic Oppression
Lyrics
The process begins
The beginning of a process is marked.
With the reduction of a soul to a color
A soul is devalued, reduced to a mere color.
Stripping traditions, suppressing identity
Traditions are discarded, and individual identity is suppressed.
Bleaching our minds, the only remedy
Mental purification is sought as a remedy.
Justice is nowhere
Justice is absent.
The innocents left in anguish
Innocent individuals suffer in pain.
Self-hatred instilled systematic oppression
Self-hatred is systematically imposed, contributing to oppression.
Correlation of color and suspicion
There is a connection between color and suspicion.
Scales imbalanced, only money connects
Imbalance in scales; money is the only link.
Impoverished grieve, true evil collects
True evil thrives on the grief of the impoverished.
A place where race threatens security
A place where race poses a threat to security.
Born charged with the crime of impurity
Being born is equated to a crime of impurity.
Guns to my face
Facing guns directly.
Cuffs on my wrist
Wearing handcuffs.
Knees to my back
Forced onto knees with a back under pressure.
Treat me like a savage
Treated as a savage.
And I'll become the animal you want me to be
Responding to mistreatment by becoming what is expected.
A jaundice complexion
A sickly yellow skin tone causing genuine revulsion.
Provoking true disgust
Eliciting a true sense of disgust.
Black eyes, no expression
Expressionless black eyes.
The essence of distrust
Representing the core of mistrust.
Reduce me
A plea to be reduced.
Condition me
A desire to be conditioned.
Incarcerate me
An acceptance of incarceration.
I will never be free
An acknowledgment of an inability to achieve true freedom.
