[Verse 1]
I took a drive today
Time to emancipate
I guess it was the beatings, made me wise
But I'm not about to give thanks
Or apologize

[Chorus 1]
I couldn't breathe
Holding me down
Hand on my face
Pushed to the ground
Enmity gauged
United by fear
Forced to endure what I could not forgive

[Verse 2]
I seem to look away
The wounds in the mirror waved
It wasn't my surface
Most defiled

[Chorus 2]
Head at your feet
Fool to your crown
Pissed on my plate
Swallowed it down
Enmity gauged
United by fear
Tried to endure what I could not forgive, yeah
