YIPPEE KI YAY, MOTHERFUCKER [Verse 1] They sold the truth behind closed doors While the rich kept raising up the floors They stole the future, called it law Then told us not to question what we saw They wave the flag while they feed the flame Point their fingers, never take the blame Cruelty dressed in a tailored suit And every lie gets dressed up as the truth [Pre-Chorus] But there's a line you don't cross There's a price for what you've lost And the people are awake tonight We ain't backing down without a fight [Chorus] Yippee Ki Yay, Motherfucker! We've had enough, we're coming up You can buy your judges, buy your fame But you can't buy us back again Yippee Ki Yay, Motherfucker! Hear that sound? That's freedom coming You can push us, you can try But you don't get to own our lives [Verse 2] They put a dollar sign on everything Turned a country into a corporation's dream They built a wall around the truth Then wondered why we're kicking through They hurt the weak and praise the strong Tell us who's right while they're doing wrong But every mother, every son Knows this ain't the country we came from [Pre-Chorus] We've been quiet long enough We've swallowed more than we can stomach Now the silence has a voice And we're finally making some noise [Chorus] Yippee Ki Yay, Motherfucker! We've had enough, we're coming up You can buy your judges, buy your fame But you can't buy us back again Yippee Ki Yay, Motherfucker! Hear that sound? That's freedom coming You can push us, you can try But you don't get to own our lives [Bridge] We're not looking for a savior We're not waiting for a king We're the hands that built this country We're the voices that still sing You can threaten You can lie You can try to make us hide But every time you push us down A thousand more will stand their ground [Breakdown] Stand up! Speak up! Don't look away! Stand up! Speak up! This is our day! They thought we'd disappear They thought we'd live in fear Well, we're still here! [Final Chorus] Yippee Ki Yay, Motherfucker! We've had enough, we're coming up You can steal the money, steal the crown But you can't keep the people down Yippee Ki Yay, Motherfucker! Let it ring from town to town You can threaten, you can lie But we're not yours and we're still alive Yippee Ki Yay, Motherfucker! This is bigger than one fight It's the people taking back What was always fucking ours [Outro] We're still here. We're still standing. We're still fighting. Yippee Ki Yay, Motherfucker.
