Lyrics for No More

by Shahroz

[Verse 1]

I hate the way they paint a picture of us, villainous/

a stroke of genius, just a way to up the ratings with/

i’m sick and tired of these liars always blaming us/

acting like we’re responsible for the radicalization of/

a religion, that gets hijacked, just like any other in fact/

It’s funny they don’t talk about Christian militia killing civilians and using bible verses to justify it/

So what’s the difference? Please do not rationalize it/

I don’t place blame on you for the crusades, slave masters, or the KKK/

Even though black americans are still facing the aftermath from your ancestors racist ways/

So let me break down the way the media is supplying it/

Black man commits a crime, must be a product of his culture & environment/

Muslim man commits a crime, Islam is a cancer that’s dividing us/

White man commits a crime, insanity was underlying from his childhood/

They wanna fill ignorant citizens with patriotism to get support for/

Profiting off oil and war, while nobody talks about Nigeria or Darfur/

And now they got the nerve to talk about freedom of speech?/

But if someone says something homophobic, racist, or anti-semitic, it’s a news story for weeks/

So they think we shouldn’t get upset when someone makes a mockery of our Prophet/

Just stop it, the double-standard and hypocrisy is about adding dollars to your pocket/

[Verse 2]

They told me I should keep my mouth shut and avoid controversy/

Well if i reverse the verse, ill be in a hearse with my mouth shut involuntary/

I can’t worry about protecting my rep, or being politically correct/

When the politics were designed to keep us impotent/

So in effect, whether you’re Muslim or not, please don’t fall for the ignorance/

Because fear is control, that’s why you’re getting tapped on the internet/

I hope you understand why i’m so frustrated, i’m running out of patience/

I got trust issues when spies start infiltrating the holiest of places/

I still love this country but i’m just tired of being targeted/

Bring the power back to the people, the ones who can actually harbor it/

The ones who are caring, loving, intelligent and honest/

But it’s a minority with the power and a superiority complex/

Divide and conquer, has always been the mantra/

If that’s what they call freedom, then freedom is an imposter/

I take my nickel, quarter, & dime, throw it in the air/

Put the weight(wait) with the gravity, so I know change is near/
