Enough

it took 9 lives to bring a flag down

hands go up to bring a man down

please Mr. officer stand down

take your hands off of us

can you stop offen us

we're out here chokin & coughin

goin from handcuffs to coffins

Mr. president, I don't mean no offence

but, this is happenin too often

get off your hands and do somethin

are you shackled are you bind

are you busy do you mind

can you see are you blind

are you theirs or are you mines

I can't tell until all is well

but, right now it feels like hell

I look to the good book, that was once took

askin the most high to fill in the blanks

this calls for us to think, man your tanks

it's a war of a hell of a kind

that can only be won by those with a hell of a mind

we're living in a hell of a time

when the people have had enough

the people will rise up

like leavened bread

when the people get tire of being hungry

the people will rise up 

and, they will be fed

when the people get tired of being sick

the people will rise up

and, they will be healed

when the people get tired of crying

the people will rise up

and, there will be no more tears

when the people get enough of suffering

the people will rise up

and, sow seeds of prosperity

when the people get tired of dying for not

the people will rise up

and, they will live on and reign
