Atypical Abolition I Wont Apologize Official Audio

Atypical Abolition — I Won’t Apologize Official Audio An anonymous music project built around satire, grief and resistance. “I Won’t Apologize” is a song about people who will not apologize for being different, for surviving, for speaking, for staying alive — even when they are attacked, erased, controlled, or punished because of that difference. A song against racism, state violence, borders turned into weapons, and every system that asks the wounded to apologize for the wound. No face. No idol. Only witnesses. LYRICS [Verse 1] For the hands that crossed the water With their names stitched in their sleeves For the mouths that learned your language Just to beg for room to breathe For the children at the wire fence For the shoes lost in the mud For the eyes that keep on lowering When the law begins to flood [Pre-Chorus] You can call it order You can call it pride I can hear the old lie Wearing a brand-new tie [Chorus] I won’t apologize For the skin, for the dust, for the way we survived I won’t apologize For the tongue, for the hurt, for the names still alive You built your flag on borrowed bones Then asked us why we cried I won’t apologize I won’t apologize [Verse 2] For the black boys taught the sidewalk Like a map of what not to do For the mothers counting sirens Like a prayer they never choose For the old men on the corner With whole decades in their stare For the daughters learning early How to make themselves less there [Pre-Chorus] You can call it justice You can call it peace I can hear the bootprint Under every speech [Chorus] I won’t apologize For the skin, for the dust, for the way we survived I won’t apologize For the tongue, for the hurt, for the names still alive You built your flag on borrowed bones Then asked us why we cried I won’t apologize I won’t apologize [Verse 3] For the names cut from the river For the braids undone at school For the dust inside the hymn books For the maps that lied in blue For the old songs still refusing To die inside your throat For the wheels above the burial ground And the fences through the smoke [Bridge] You want clean hands Clean borders Clean mouths Clean fear But every wall you polish Makes the buried louder here We are not your warning We are not your stain We are what keeps breathing After all your careful names [Final Chorus] I won’t apologize For the skin, for the dust, for the way we survived I won’t apologize For the tongue, for the hurt, for the names still alive You built your flag on borrowed bones Then asked us why we cried I won’t apologize I won’t apologize [Outro] Not for staying Not for speaking Not for living Not this time Music & lyrics: Atypical Abolition © 2026 Atypical Abolition #AtypicalAbolition #IWontApologize #AntiRacism
