I've learned to play my role An old soul with goals to sew closed the holes we've left exposed from the fear we let corrode our motives The world is cold i noticed Frightened frozen Fighting for the moment Broken, hoping Deep breaths just keep focused Coasting on a notion i opened through rhythm spoken My ropes thrown in the ocean just grab a hold and keep floatin' It's just another storm yet, this could be the one they said Work, pay the rent repeat till the end Cheating defeat ain't easy, but I believe in it 'Cause believing in defeat deems dreams meaningless We invest in self Progression is a side effect Success is not a question 'Cause we manifest it We never saw our strength enough divided by our own pain Our bloods the proof were unified and we could build a new age We've broken everything I sift through pieces post apocalyptic Gifted with a blessed curse to make a difference We never saw our strength enough divided by our own pain Our bloods the proof were unified and we could build a new age We've broken everything I sift through pieces post apocalyptic Gifted with a blessed curse to make a difference Reason to breathe Reason to speak till the people believe Leave it me In a scene of deceit Distribute the truth through the team The culture redeemed Defeating weakness No time to sleep Relieve the sword of the sheath Beheading the beast Peace Plate it and eat I seeeee a nation divided Oppression fermented in silence Festering in the misguided Expression is passive or violent People are tired People have have slept People have died People disguise intention We don't decide what side of the field we'll play the bench from United we thrive Divided we starve United we thrive Divided we starve Under the sky of strips and stars United we thrive Divided we starve United we thrive Divided we starve Under the sky of strips and stars We walk with smiles and scars Equipped to make an impact Our march is intact Sprint on these tracks spin wax Make folks feel that There it goes again The calling of forgotten voices Tryna make amends We didn't fear the end Our cultures been sold Getting it back isn't the issue Our degradation ensues on the news that we view While our talents are misused and then sold back to the youth The ones that see this are few Sad part is it's true Never saw our strength enough divided by own pain Our bloods the proof were unified and we could build a new age We've broken everything I sift through pieces post apocalyptic Gifted with a blessed curse to make a difference Neck deep in dissidence Sleep is for the ignorant Prolific with my penmanship Manipulating manuscripts To manage manic malignant Mechanics of our interests In a panic people plan to take advantage of our sisters with Hips so voluptuous Our brothers stunt their growth as kids Walk and watch for heads to knock Anything for that cotton knot Get caught Get your number jumper and a cot It saddens me we happen to be the batteries of and industry Where more people in prisons is a one percenter fantasy We had to be Divided tactfully so we'd be too weak see this ugly masterpiece of social tragedy United our alliance will define fear within the giant Reminded The lights shining with the wind behind us Defiance Against our lives taken with our silence. Defiance Reminded The lights shining with the wind behind us Defiance Against our lives taken with our silence Defiance
