[Intro] Yeah... This one's for every city, Every family, Every kid trying to find a better way. Fresh start, let's go. [Verse 1] Growing up fast where the sirens never sleep, Too many dreams getting buried too deep, Everybody wants respect, everybody wants a name, But nobody wins when we're feeding the flames. Young kid looking for a place to belong, Trying to stay strong when the pressure is strong, Looking for a future but the options seem small, One bad decision can change it all. What if we invested in the youth instead? More mentors, more guidance, more hope instead, More jobs, more chances, more doors to unlock, More leaders in the neighborhood walking the block. [Hook] The solution starts with us, Not hate, not fear, not violence and distrust, One life, one choice can change everything, Put down the pain, let the hope bells ring. The solution starts with us, Rise up together, build instead of bust, One community, one dream to pursue, The solution starts with me and you. [Verse 2] Every mother deserves to see her child grow, Every father deserves to watch their kids glow, Every family deserves peace in the night, Not another phone call saying something ain't right. Talk before anger, think before reaction, Building real change takes collective action, Listening, learning, helping people heal, Showing the next generation what's real. It's bigger than pride, bigger than a street, Bigger than the pressure trying to pull us beneath, The strongest person isn't always throwing hands, It's the one who breaks the cycle and takes a stand. [Bridge] We can be the difference, We can be the light, Turning pain into purpose, Turning wrong into right. No more names on murals, No more tears in the rain, Let's build something stronger, Let's break the chain. [Final Hook] The solution starts with us, Not hate, not fear, not violence and distrust, One life, one choice can change everything, Put down the pain, let the hope bells ring. The solution starts with us, Rise up together, build instead of bust, One community, one dream to pursue, The solution starts with me and you. [Outro] One step at a time, One day at a time, One choice at a time, One life at a time. The future ain't written, It's waiting on what we do, The solution starts with me... The solution starts with you.
