welfare - maafa lyrics

Loading...

defaulted to benefit
from our enslavement
generation, after generation

born at the top
held up by our backs
and choosing
to turn the other cheek
that’s privilege

to inhabit your skin without fear
to inhabit your body without shame
to love who you want
to walk at night alone
to be standing on the outside looking in
that’s privilege

welfare! welfare!
they built an empire
off your backs! off your backs!
taxing your labor to secure their fortune
with no accountability
cough up that restitution
make you pay your debt to me
to navigate the sp*ces, we’re not allowеd to roam
blind to an exclusion, you’ll never havе to know
dismantle the whole thing or nothing will change
cuz’ the system was built to protect
your privilege!

welfare! welfare!
they built an empire
off your backs! off your backs!
taxing your labor to secure their fortune
with no accountability
cough up that restitution
make you pay your debt to me

the safety of your fragility is priority
in this war against “poor bodies” and “minorities”
in this war against women and the not so binary
in this war against all black bodies fighting globally

there’s no peace
without justice, your kids are casualties
from favela to palestine, all your mothers weep
from plantation to president, still the same story
from the classroom to prison cell is the new chattel slavery!

welfare! welfare!
they built an empire
off your backs! off your backs!
taxing your labor to secure their fortune
with no accountability
cough up that restitution
make you pay your debt to me
