[Verse 1 – Male Rap] They say we free but the chains invisible Newsfeed bleeds like it’s all just typical March in the streets, but the needle won’t move Truth get twisted when the system won’t prove Kids grow up dodging sirens and shame Mom work two jobs, still starvin’ the same We pray for change, they pray for silence But silence is violence dressed up in compliance [Chorus – Female Vocal] Can’t you hear the cry in the sirens? All these hearts beatin’ in silence We can’t heal what we won’t name A better world don’t come from blame So raise your voice through the rain Even hurt can be hope in the flame Let’s break the silence— Break the silence [Verse 2 – Male Rap] A dollar gets louder than a mother’s scream And justice don’t show on a TV screen Truth buried deep in a six-foot scroll Written in names that we’ll never know Echoes of pain in a classroom desk Broken dreams in a bulletproof vest Still they ask why we’re protestin’ When history’s just oppression repressin’ [Bridge – Harmonized Vocal Layer] Don’t look away—this is our reflection Every face a thread in the same connection Let’s rewrite the lines with compassion and fire Build a world that lifts us all higher [Chorus – Female Vocal + Background Harmonies] Can’t you hear the cry in the sirens? All these hearts beatin’ in silence We can’t heal what we won’t name A better world don’t come from blame So raise your voice through the rain Even hurt can be hope in the flame Let’s break the silence— Break the silence
