How can you stand there
And preach such hate filled speech
What I thought was a dying breed
Is manifesting in the shadows
Beating us down
We have nothing left to give
Beating us down
Until we're blood and bones
Step the fuck up
It's time to wake up
Now or never let it all out
It's time to take it back
Don't let your heart falter
Keep your eyes on the skyline
Why are you so scared to see us succeed
The fragility under your skin is starting to break you down
Racism is taught you're not born with it
Weak minded, easily influenced
First to throw the judgement
Step the fuck up
It's time to wake up
Now or never, let it all out
It's time to take it back
Don't let your heart falter
Keep your eyes on the skyline
"The same people that take anger at our black brothers and sisters taking to the streets
Are the same people who keep their mouth shut whilst a mans life etches out
You are complicit, you are part of the problem
Of this systemic cycle of violence."
"This is why we march, this is why we scream
The streets have spoken, say their fucking names"
"Say their fucking names."
We kick your goals and you glorify us
They kick our heads then you leave us for dead
This is why we are taking to the streets
We will be heard
We won't be defeated
We kick your goals and you glorify us
They kick our heads then you leave us for dead
This is why we are taking to the streets
We will be heard
We won't be defeated
