Ya'll Don't Wanna Step to Dis
Against Me! Lyrics

Four sins past sainthood,
I've made so many mistakes that I feel like I've moved past redemption

It's like I'm dying to forget
I'm trying to forget everything that's happened and move on

All the sleepless nights,
I've spent many nights tossing and turning, unable to sleep

Lying perfectly alone and still.
I lay in bed, feeling completely isolated from the world

I can drink 'till victory,
I'm able to drink heavily and keep going until I feel like a winner

I'll drink to the mighty,
I'll raise my glass to those who are powerful and have succeeded

Drink until I die,
I'll continue drinking without stopping until death takes me

Or at least until the sunrise
I'll stop drinking at daybreak

When honesty,
When the truth finally comes out

As popular as a plague,
It's something that people avoid and don't want to confront

Comes to remind me
It makes me realize the reality of my situation

The dead's winning the race
People who have died are the ones who have succeeded and come out on top

With me going nowhere.
I'm not making any progress and am stuck in the same place

Right down the street,
Very close by

A prostitute is selling
There is a sex worker offering

The closest thing to love
The only thing that resembles love

That this country has to offer,
The only way someone can find a form of love or acceptance

And Alachua still sleeps tonight,
Alachua, a city in Florida, is unaffected and oblivious to the issues happening around it

So we fought for the republic
We fought for the government and authority of our country

While the Catholic sun filled every eye.
While the Catholic Church's influence and power was all-encompassing

From the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean,
All across the United States

Victory
The end result of our efforts

I drank to the mighty.
I celebrated the powerful and successful

We died for oil,
We sacrificed ourselves for access to valuable resources

We died for borders,
We gave our lives for the sake of defining land and territory

Killed for democracy,
We killed others for the sake of promoting democracy

Still believed every platform.
We continue to support the same old political ideologies and promises

Can you handle the death,
Can you handle the consequences and destruction of war?

Accept what we create together?
Can you acknowledge and take responsibility for what we've done as a society?

I still know every politician
I still believe that all politicians are corrupt

Is a fucking monster.
They are immoral and do more harm than good

Culture kills bureaucrats
Society and cultural movements tend to overpower and dismantle traditional systems of governance

And all other undesireables.
And anyone who goes against societal norms or expectations

History said we died for freedom,
Historically, we were told that our sacrifices were for the sake of freedom

But today no justice was served,
Today, there is no true justice for the oppressed or those who were killed in previous wars

And America still sleeps tonight,
The United States is still largely unaware or indifferent to the problems in its own society

And I hope it doesn't wake up tomorrow.
I hope the country doesn't awaken or continue to ignore its problems

So we boasted that we were champions,
We claimed to be the best and most successful

Each country singing it's own praise.
Every nation was proud of itself and its accomplishments

Like a rock thrown into the ocean,
It didn't matter much in the grand scheme of things

Humanity was rising to the top.
Humanity was advancing and progressing

Two world wars later,
After two major wars took place

Countless military interventions,
Many other military conflicts that took place

We erect monuments to history
We build memorials to remember the past

And give apologies to the dead.
We apologize to those who have died in these conflicts

All that was fought for the living
All the fighting and sacrifice that happened was for the sake of the present and future generations

Is quickly forgotten.
However, we tend to forget or ignore these sacrifices as time goes on

We don't remember the dates,
We forget the specific dates and details of past events

We don't remember the reasons.
We forget the reasons why these events occurred

We have no idea what's going on,
We're largely unaware of the current issues and events happening around the world

Building histories of western corporations.
We continue to prioritize the successes and accomplishments of our own corporations and governments rather than others'

It doesn't even turn my stomach
I'm so desensitized and indifferent to these issues that it doesn't even bother me anymore

To see the pictures of atrocities anymore,
I've become numb to seeing images of terrible acts of violence and destruction

Going numb in the new order
I'm becoming desensitized to the changes and developments in society

Of the new century.
Of the current time period we're in

And Alachua still sleeps tonight...
Alachua, America, and the rest of the world are still oblivious to the issues that need to be addressed

And America still sleeps tonight...
The United States is still largely unaware or indifferent to the problems in its own society

And the world still sleeps tonight...
The entire world is still unaware or indifferent to the issues that need to be addressed
