Fight For My Rights

Lyrics

Verse 1
August 23, 2023
They came in my home
No probation, no parole
Still they cut through the door

Illegal search and seizure
Hands in my space
Took my peace from the room
Left damage on my face

Excessive force, I felt it
Pain that would not fade
Now I’m fighting in the dark
'Cause my sight got taken

Pre-Chorus
Where was the warrant?
Where was the proof?
You don’t get to steal my rights
Then call it “legal” truth

Chorus
Fight for my rights
Fight for my rights
I said fight for my rights
Fight for my rights

The Fourth, the Fifth, the Sixth
The Fourteenth stand tall
When you break the people down
You break the law for all

Fight for my rights
Fight for my rights
I said fight for my rights
Fight for my rights

Verse 2
Then they filed those charges
Like I had no say
Responding arrest on me
Without notice that day

Lost trial, not guilty
That was the verdict line
Then they flipped those special instructions
And tried to bury what is mine

Guilty by the paper
But the truth won’t go away
I know what they did to me
And I’ll speak it every day

Pre-Chorus
Due process, daylight
Equal law, not fear
You can’t strip a human being
Then pretend that justice’s here

Chorus
Fight for my rights
Fight for my rights
I said fight for my rights
Fight for my rights

The Fourth, the Fifth, the Sixth
The Fourteenth stand tall
When you break the people down
You break the law for all

Fight for my rights
Fight for my rights
I said fight for my rights
Fight for my rights

Bridge
I’m not backing up now
I’m not bowing low
Every bruise is a witness
Every scar is a vote

You can write your reports
You can stack up the lies
But the people keep watching
And the truth never dies

Chorus
Fight for my rights
Fight for my rights
I said fight for my rights
Fight for my rights

The Fourth, the Fifth, the Sixth
The Fourteenth stand tall
When you break the people down
You break the law for all

Fight for my rights
Fight for my rights
I said fight for my rights
Fight for my rights
