Slave City Lyrics by Matriarchs

2016

No one sees me shake
When they turn out the lights
No one hears my screams
In the dead of the night
Left alone to bear the burden
And I've run out of fight
To keep my head up in a struggle
With no end in sight
What else is there to do
When I don't have a choice?
My words fall on deaf ears
Like I have no voice
I won't bury my head
Or pretend that I'm dead
Instead I hit the ground running
Bring the fight till the end
Slave City
You won't break me
You say you hate what I am
But you made me
You try to comprehend
The life that i live
But don't know the choice
And I won't forgive
I won't forgive
Trained to come up on the weak
Just so that I can survive
No remorse in these eyes
I'll live it up till I die
No remorse in these eyes
I'll live it up till I die
Fuck you
You think you know the story
You've heard it all before
Don't mean you know me
Come at me with your hands out
Act like you're a friend
But you're a fuckin' fake
And I know it
You wanna talk about scars?
I got em
Ain't got a problem
Comin' up from the bottom
I'm not stoppin'
Drowning In Filth
I'll claw my way to the top
Get out the way
Cuz I'm comin' through
Slave City
You won't break me
You hate the man that I am
And Forsake me
Refuse to comprehend
The love that I lack
But now the child is dead
Now I can't go back
Aids City
Keepin' shit gritty
Haters gonna hate
But I'ma stay pretty
Hate City
Oh what a pity
Another sucker slain
By the plague of mediocrity
