Semillas - Amygdala

They tried to bury us

They didn’t know we were seeds

They tried to silence us

But you can’t silence a mind that’s free

Assimilate procreate appropriate

To a system that does not work for the marginalized

The working class families

The children in broken homes

The lies the deceit

This will keep them from growing

Assimilate procreate appropriate to a system that does not work for the

marginalized

We learn to hate ourselves

This keeps us from growing

We learn to survive

Our voices will soar forever

One day the children will grow and they breathe in the stench that pollutes the

earth

And look around and realize all the gentrification that’s taking place

And realize that this land and this plan wasn’t meant for our people

They tried to white wash and destroy our identities

You can’t silence us
