They sell us fear in a tailored suit Feed us lies and call it truth Poison in the water, poison on the plate Then hand us pills and call it fate They build a profit off the pain Run the sickness, sell the cure again Every channel got a script to read Keep us starving, keep us at each other’s teeth And every time a voice gets big Every time a truth cuts in Somebody disappears, somebody gets smeared And they tell us not to look again But the power breaks When the people wake When we stop playing small, when we stop the hate They can’t own a heart that refuses chains Can’t rule a world when we stand the same No more red, no more blue No more “me” against “you” The only thing they fear is love with a spine Millions of us drawing one hard line FDA stamps it, says it’s safe While the body keeps the score they erase Pharma cashes every tear we cry Then buys another polished lie One percent with their polished hands Move whole lives like a business plan They divide the poor, distract the strong Keep us fighting while they carry on Marley sang, and Diana shined Kennedys bled in the public eye Lennon spoke, Sam Cooke too Too many ghosts still haunting truth Natalie, Tupac, Biggie’s name Too much smoke around the same damn game We may not prove each hidden thread But we damn sure feel what’s hanging overhead But the power breaks When the people wake When we stop playing small, when we stop that hate They can’t own a heart that refuses chains Can’t rule a world when we stand the same No more left, no more right Only truth brought into light The only thing they fear is love with a spine Millions of us drawing one hard line. They stole our dreams , No more! They took our breath , No more! But every scar they wrote in blood Now spells their end, not our death. They taught us to scroll while the house burned down Taught us to worship the crooked crown Taught us our neighbor was the enemy While they fed on our division quietly But I’ve seen the crack in the machine It’s us remembering what we mean Not a party, not a brand, not a throne Just human hands saying “you’re not alone” Let the power break Let the people wake Let the mothers rise, let the workers shake Let the sick speak up, let the children sing Let the walls come down, let freedom ring No more bought-out truth No more stolen youth No more silence dressed like “proof” The only answer now is me and you Not them above , but us breaking through (Outro) They had the money They had the stage They had the papers They had the cage But they lose everything they built from fear The second we remember why we’re here
