(Verse 1) This is for the names they buried under stone For every home that never made it home For every scream the world don’t translate For every life they wrote off as “collateral fate” Poison in the air, poison in the vein Sell the cure, then profit off the pain We’ve been quiet, we’ve been blind too long Now the silence breaking into song (Pre-Chorus) You feel it rising, don’t lie to yourself That pressure in your chest ain’t coming from nowhere (Chorus) So this 4th of July, we don’t play along No fireworks to cover what’s been wrong No buying, no running, no feeding the machine Just hearts wide open, remembering what we mean Stand down, stand still, let the system see What happens when the people choose to be free Not fear, not hate, not divided lines Just millions waking up at the same damn time (Verse 2) They told us safety, they handed us chains Fed us distractions to keep us contained Turned us on each other, red vs blue While they moved power right over you Bodies worn down, nervous systems fried Truth gets buried, but it never dies You don’t need permission to see what’s real You already know it, you feel what you feel (Bridge – spoken or soft) This ain’t about burning it down This is about remembering who built it And who it belongs to (Final Chorus – bigger) So this 4th of July, let it go quiet No noise, no chaos, no need to riot Just one full day where the people decide We don’t move unless it comes from inside No work, no fuel, no playing their game Just neighbors meeting, remembering names If power exists, it starts right here And they feel it loud when we drop the fear (Outro) They had the system We had the spark They had control We lit the dark
