[Verse] They gave up halfway there, All that sweat, all those tears—gone thin air Every change just disappears, While we numb out the truth we fear This opportunity—twisted into survival instinct All that work, all that suffering You turned it into a sideways glance, Judging fast, never taking a chance Now you’re acting like you never cared, Like the damage fades—it isn’t there But the noise drowns out the truth we need, Now the harm’s in every melody [Pre-Chorus] But the joke don’t land, it just falls flat We tried to build—kept breaking our backs And it’s not some wolf in a suit we blame, It’s closer than blood, calling out our name— [Chorus] They say “lives matter,” but don’t show heart, Wearing the words, not playing the part Running in circles, stuck in the act— Freedom’s loud, but it’s fading to black Once a scapegoat, now you claim the crown, But it’s self-made fires burning it down You moved like your choices would never react, Now your name’s in the weight of your act
