Stop...Leave Something Behind (Final Cut)

[INTRO] Yeah... Everybody yelling across the room now Nobody listening Everybody talking about sides What happened to people? [VERSE 1] I see neighbors building fences where bridges used to stand Pointing fingers with a screen glowing bright in their hands Red side, blue side, left side, right side Truth gets buried when the anger becomes our guide We got labels on our backs before we walk through the door Before anybody learns what another heart is fighting for Different shades on the outside, same blood in our veins Same tears when we're hurting, same love, same pain Mama wants peace in the house when she lays down to rest Daddy wants his children growing stronger and blessed Everybody trying to make tomorrow a little less cold Trying to leave behind a story worth more than gold [CHORUS] Stop drawing lines in the dirt, we all stand on the same ground Stop trying to break us apart, hear the heartbeat in the sound We all wanna live with respect Raise our kids and leave something left Different faces, different names Different roads, but we dream the same Hands up high if you feel that truth We rise together, me and you [VERSE 2] They keep us staring at the walls while the ceiling falls apart Keep us counting all our differences, ignoring every heart Tell me where division ever lifted people higher? It just turns neighbors into smoke and throws gasoline on fire Your son laughs like mine laughs, your daughter cries too You got people praying for you like I got people that do Legacy ain't money sitting locked behind a gate It's the love we leave behind and the lives we elevate So I refuse to see an enemy where another soul stands I refuse to lose tomorrow because we're angry today, man We can disagree and still shake hands at the end Because a stranger's just a person you ain't learned yet, my friend [BRIDGE] Look around... Nobody's born hating somebody else Nobody's born carrying walls in their chest We learned it And if we learned it... We can unlearn it [FINAL CHORUS] Stop drawing lines in the dirt, we all stand on the same ground Stop trying to break us apart, hear the heartbeat in the sound We all wanna live with respect Raise our kids and leave something left Different faces, different names Different roads, but we dream the same Hands up high if you feel that truth We rise together, me and you [OUTRO] A legacy ain't what you take with you... It's what keeps breathing after you're gone.
