ministry for themselves - redrage lyrics

[intro]
don’t take me away
don’t take me away
don’t take me away
don’t take me away
don’t take me away
don’t take me away
don’t take me away
don’t take me away
this is my story of oranga tamariki

[verse 1]
let’s begin, where i’m at now
i need government permission just to stay at my friend’s houses
i’m being watched over and controlled, i’m left powerless
and you f*cking wonder why i’m quieter than a mouse is
all i want is to be left the f*ck alone, how come
that request is too much to ask, give me an ounce of respect
i’ve told you thousands and thousands
of times that i’m sick and tired, but you allow it
every 6 months you do checkups at my house but
it’s just to remind me that, you still have power
that you can still move me, control me, devour*
my self esteem, is already shot to sh*t but it empowers you
because you feel the need to overpower me
to help out with your f*cking self esteem, but you would cower
if you had seen what i had seen, what i’ve encountered
[chorus]
there’s, nowhere to hide
they will find you
and you can’t run
this is my story of oranga tamariki

[verse 2]
enough about myself, let’s face the issue at hand
your lack of background checks, and siding with my dad it’s bad
just like your welfare checks, all the money
wasted from the taxpayer’s money, it ain’t funny
grow some f*cking b*lls and face it
actually be sorry for the kids, and don’t fake it
you betray these
kids and then persuade them with a stupid clothing allowance
how about you allow us to see our f*cking parents
i get it’s tough, not every parent’s fit
but don’t forget, you sometimes rip, kids from the ones that don’t deserve it
all the parents hurting, you don’t find this concerning?
you assume they’re bad, take their kids, that’s it, then close the curtain? nah
i’m talking to every kid like me
cause this isn’t the way, that sh*t has to be

now let’s go back, let’s look into my past
maybe then you’d understand the reason that ot is trash
like the nights that they moved me didn’t let me say goodbye
packed my bag in silence, n0body told me why
i got thrown in the system before i could even walk
i didn’t have a voice then, i couldn’t even talk
even though i can now, they still can’t hear me talking
i’m just one of the 4 thousand kids that they’re ignoring
f*ck putting these kids in nice stable homes
move them every couple months, sh*t, they’re on their own
your sh*tty background checks need some work they’re lacking
i’ve been stuck in homes with so many f*cked up maggots
yet you tell the parents that, you’re preparing us
but you’re ruining our stability and you’re scaring us
then you make group homes for your lack of caregivers
mix together criminals and *******, sh*t well, fair enough
how many people gotta complain, you ain’t hearing us
power moves, manipulation, sh*t is slowly k!lling us
everything you do, is just f*cking nefarious
holy sh*t, can’t bear all this

i’ve had to run away, so many f*cking times
not even going to a place, just needed to escape
because these f*cking assh0l*s can’t keep me in their confines
combine, being watched and living with criminals
imbeciles like these, the reason that i spit these syllables
not like these f*cking lyrical miracle individuals
who just rap because they f*cking can, i got a message
i’m tryna help the kids in my position
i get it

[outro]
so everybody follow me, i’m speaking up
i know the government’s mad at me
but too bad, i don’t care, you see?
i’m building a voice outta pain and screams
be like me, and let’s f*cking burn down ot
