The meaning of the lyrics of the song "People Like Them" by the artist "Tomcraft"

The lyrics of Tomcraft's "People Like Them" express protest and a desire for self-determination. The lyrical hero contrasts himself and his group ("we") with another group of people ("them") towards whom he feels dislike.

The recurring phrase "I think they know that we don't like them" emphasizes hostility and rejection. The reasons for this dislike are not specified, but the text hints at different values and lifestyles ("We don't like what they do", "We don't want to be like them"). The hero and his like-minded people strive to preserve their identity ("We want to be who we are").

The second verse speaks of hope as the driving force of the struggle. It gives strength to resist pressure ("The power to see the good and stop the bad"). The calls to "Get up, raise your head and go" motivate action, to fight for one's future.

The phrase "All they got is gangster talk" may indicate that opponents use threats and intimidation, but the hero does not give in and is ready to fight back ("If you take mine, I'll take yours in return").

At the end of the song, the hero emphasizes solidarity with his comrades-in-arms ("My sisters and brothers in arms"), united with whom, he resists pressure and fights for his freedom to be himself.
