TRUTH

by Pamela Means

Hangman billboards
They have no shame
Forty ounces for your pain
Addiction breeds complicity
Is it accidental it infects the inner city
Hey, truth is ammunition
Hey, truth is ammunition

How alarming some were feigning
Not that they would be caught
Dead complaining
What an easy way to hide
A strategy of genocide
Hey, truth is ammunition
Hey, truth is ammunition

Knowledge is power, love is political
Every hour we're wasting is critical
Don't try to keep me quiet, cuz you like it
When the lights don't shine on you
Well look up now a killing rage
Has got you standing center stage
Hey, truth is ammunition
Hey, truth is ammunition
