[Intro] Old scars, loud scars Laugh lines, cracked jars Kick drum on the table We’re yelling, “we’re able!” (hey!) [Verse 1] Same crew, chipped chairs Budget beers, big cares Newsfeed screaming We’re scheming between dares You talk climate, I talk rent We torch fear, not the tent Dice roll, broken console Still the room feels whole [Chorus] This is our fight song, squad in overdrive Laughing at the dark just to stay alive Politics and punchlines in the same loud breath We turn our anger into joy, into protest This is our fight song, squad in overdrive Nostalgic warcries, we were born to thrive If the world wants silence when it misbehaves We answer back with a chorus like a tidal wave [Verse 2] You drop bars, fast flame Name names, place blame “Why they buildin’ all these fences ’round the public good?” you frame We slam fists, then high five Old bruises, new drive Snack crumbs on the manifesto Cartoons on, still presto [Bridge] Remember that busted park? Cops cruised by, tried to bark We played tag on their spotlight Turned that glare into art, into spark Now every chant we scream Carries that teenage scene Kick, snare, swing and spin We were rebels with a grin [Chorus] [Verse 3] Rent due, sky red But we choose jokes instead You paint futures on my jacket “Free us all” in crooked black script We rage quick, then we dance Policy and romance Hard truths, soft hearts Ripping lies apart [Chorus]
