Plowing The Ground With Our Faces

[Verse 1] We woke up in the dust again Teeth full of gravel, tongue of rust They call it “keep your head down, kid” We took it literally, ate the crust [Chorus] No, we’re not on our knees We’re plowing the ground with our faces Grinding our names into concrete Till the cracks spell out our cases We’re not praying for mercy We’re biting the borders of cages No, we’re not on our knees We’re plowing the ground with our faces (hey!) [Verse 2] They said “keep humble, stay in line” Boot prints blooming on our backs But every shove that blurs our sight Sketches maps in muddy tracks [Chorus] No, we’re not on our knees We’re plowing the ground with our faces Grinding our names into concrete Till the cracks spell out our cases We’re not praying for mercy We’re biting the borders of cages No, we’re not on our knees We’re plowing the ground with our faces [Bridge] If you’re gonna drag us Drag us deep Till the soil starts shaking Till the buried seeds speak (oh) Every bruise, every scrape Just another thin line In a field that remembers Every time we rise [Chorus] No, we’re not on our knees We’re plowing the ground with our faces Grinding our names into concrete Till the cracks spell out our cases We’re not praying for mercy We’re biting the borders of cages No, we’re not on our knees We’re plowing the ground with our faces
