[Intro]
(Yeah… echoes of yesterday…)
Oooooh, nooooo… aaahaaaaaa…

---

[Verse 1]
The weight of history burns so deeeeeeep, oh noooo
Shadows linger, secrets we keep, aaahaaaaaaa, yep
Chained to profits, ah, ah, from ruthless sins
A haunting echo created where pain begins

---

[Verse 2]
No reparations can mend the scars
When justice fades and heals from afar
The past is bleeeeeeeeding, ooooh noooo, yet here we stand
Seeking truth with trembling hands

---

[Rap Verse – 16 Bars, Academic / Conscious]
We inherit broken systems, coded deep in every law,
Profit built on stolen labour, justice hanging by a flaw.
History isn’t distant, it’s a structure we maintain,
When we look away from violence, we’re complicit in the chain.

I’m interrogating power, how it hides behind its frames,
Calling plunder “innovation”, dressing theft in modern names.
Every policy decision writes a story on our skin,
Either normalizing cruelty or refusing to give in.

So I’m auditing my privilege, what I gain and what you lose,
Deconstructing every myth that taught me who is free to choose.
Solidarity’s a practice, not a slogan we perform,
It’s the courage standing firm in the eye of every storm.

We’re composing new foundations out of truth we dare to speak,
From the margins to the centre, giving voice back to the weak.
If the past is still resisted, then the future can be healed,
When we name the wound together, that’s the first step of the rebuild.

---

[Chorus]
We can't rewrite what's broken, broken, broken, broken, beeee, eeeee-foooore
But we can rebuild so much more comfortable
Rising loud from the silent crowd
Changing the woooooorld, we . once . allowed

---

[Verse 3]
Fear is cruel and poverty thrives
Shattered dreams, dreams, dreeeeeeams, our own countless lives
Far from more calls for a better day
We’ve got to chase, will come what may
It’s neeeeveeeer too ooooh late

---

[Bridge]
Refuse to bow to what’s been done
Healing valuable hearts under the sun
It starts with now, it starts with every one of us, us, us, us, e–eh heh
No more chains of greed or mistrust

---

[Chorus – Reprise]
We can't rewrite what's broken, broken, broken before
But we can rebuild, soooooo much mooooore
Rising loud from the silent crowd
Changing the woooooorld we once allowed…
