From just a little girl there was a lens on my world
Sheltered and deprived, everything was a lie
Had a different view of life, it was the innocent kind
My knowledge of the world was minimal and refined
The lens was the church and my parents and I tried
To break out of the pattern, I was beaten and blind
Did a whole lotta growing with the hope I would thrive
Kept my eye on the prize, but my state took a dive
I started living life looking up at the sky
Cause looking down reminds me of the times that I tried
To be the gal I always wanted to be
But now I've realized I'd rather be blissfully
Ignorant of the pain in the world
Oh, it makes me wanna make a change, take a chance, kill the hate
Whether you're ready or not, it's time to elevate
F*ck bein' witless, this is not the time to hesitate

But we're tryna live our lives
The way we want to
And we need to realize
The things we've got to do
To save our lives

So we try to make a mark on society
But so many people are too concerned about what happens on a screen
Distracted, overwhelmed by anxiety, and we forget the fact
That there are other people struggling down the path
That never really even ever had a chance
Cause equal opportunity only ever happens in our dreams
And nothing's ever really as it seems
We only see a glimmer of reality
Cause everyone's so focused on me, myself, and I
And no one truly cares about who lives and who dies
Plus there's no way to know what different truths coincide
Or where the truth really lies, Or when the truth is just lies
We have the knowledge of the world in the palm of our hands
And it's easy to misunderstand or misinterpret
The knowledge that's in front of us cause everyone's in such a rush
Until we think we've had enough

Cause we're tryna live our lives
The way we want to
But we need to realize
The things we've got to do
To save our lives

Gotta save our lives
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Gotta save all li-i-i-i-ives
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
