[Verse 1] This world feel bent, not right Bills in the mail, truth out of sight Leaders talk big, hands in the pie Smile for the cameras, then tell us lies They draw the lines, we pay the cost Turn neighbor to neighbor, everybody lost One law for the rich, one cage for the poor Same old script, but they want encore They sell us fear in a red, white box Then lock up hope and swap the locks I seen good folks get worn and used By rules built crooked and excuses abused [Chorus] This world is broken We still keep going (keep going) This world is broken But we don't fold in (don't fold) Same hands, same chains Still we stand here This world is broken We still get through it [Verse 2] At the border, at the school, at the clinic line At the courthouse door where the weak wait shine They charge for breath, they charge for time Then call it justice, call it fine Insurance games and the doctor bills Car payments stacked like a mountain of steel They tax your back, then tax your grief Then ask why your pocket got no relief And they pit us up, one group vs. the next Black, white, brown, all caught in the mess Different stories, same hard day Same rent due, same price to pay They want us split so we don't see The ones on top keep the whole damn seat But I see your pain and I know my own Same cold world, same broken throne [Chorus] This world is broken We still keep going (keep going) This world is broken But we don't fold in (don't fold) Same hands, same chains Still we stand here This world is broken We still get through it [Bridge] And love got bodies, love got names Vagina, penises, all the same A human heart in a rented frame Tryna live loud in a world of shame [Chorus] This world is broken We still keep going (keep going) This world is broken But we don't fold in (don't fold) Same hands, same chains Still we stand here This world is broken We still get through it [Outro] Life is life, and it don't play fair But we still breathe, still fight, still care Life is life, and we won't be erased Not by the law, not by the race (not by the race)
