Darkest night no stars to be seen
Our history ain't fiction it's been a rough scene
Police sirens blue lights attack the moon
Fightin' for a breath feel the choke way too soon
Marchin' streets echo of MLK's dream
Hands up don't shoot terror reigns supreme
Broken promises reparations still due
Future bright yet the skies ain't all blue
Somethin' gotta give somethin' gotta change
From chains on our necks to the system rearranged
Self-love stand tall never bow
With hope in our hearts we demand it now
Sunday choir sing our pain away
Words of the Gospel keepin' demons at bay
Resilience our anthem love in our core
Through the trials we continue to soar
Media paintin' us like scenes from a cage
But we break the mold art beyond the rage
System rigged decks stacked time for new schemes
Buildin' legacy city of black dreams
Born kings and queens through the generational fight
Black love infinite echoes through the night
Justice whispered winds of reparations blown
Strength in unity we ain't alone
Somethin' gotta give somethin' gotta change
From chains on our necks to the system rearranged
Somethin' gotta give Somethin' gotta givesomethin' gotta change
From chains on our necks to the system rearranged
Somethin' gotta give somethin' gotta change
From chains on our necks to the system rearranged
Self-love stand tall never bow
With hope in our hearts we demand it now
Sunday choir sing our pain away
Words of the Gospel keepin' demons at bay
Resilience our anthem love in our core
Through the trials we continue to soar
Media paintin' us like scenes from a cage
But we break the mold art beyond the rage
System rigged decks stacked time for new schemes
Buildin' legacy city of black dreams
Media paintin' us like scenes from a cage
But we break the mold art beyond the rage
System rigged decks stacked time for new schemes
Buildin' legacy city of black dreams
Media paintin' us like scenes from a cage
But we break the mold art beyond the rage
