Let's Ride

from The Don by Nyentek

/

lyrics

Let’s go! / let’s ride!
Throw expectations and see how far they fly
Take a sense of normalcy and leave it out to dry
And when things come crashing down we’ll all wonder why
We claim to have grown, that our dark past is past, but
Judging by our racist present, things have not improved
Pretend the US is caring, standing for ideals so pure
Hypocritical to the core, hypocritical to the core

First gear
Second gear
Third gear
Fourth gear

Let’s go!
Let’s ride!

Let’s go! / let’s fly!
Press the pedal to the floor / go so fast that we can’t slow
Our direction always forward / sadly we’re not oriented
Doomed to repeat past mistakes, doomed to repeat past mistakes
Life spent lying to ourselves
Say we’re saviors, but we’re captors, choking those who resist
Sense of superiority / unearned privilege wearing thin
Alienate those who’re our kin / rewind back and start again

First gear
Second gear
Third gear
Fourth gear

Let’s go!
Let’s ride!

Slow down
We need to

Let’s go!
Let’s ride!
