Change
There's a war going on in these streets,
Hearts are losing beats, the innocent weep, buildings fall to the concrete, while thousands of people move their feet,
There's angry voices wanting them to care, poisonous fogs fill the air, men in formation telling them to beware.
Police brutality and riot violence, it's all the same
There's injustice, and hatred but with a different name
There's bullets, and gasses, and crowds to hard to tame.,
Soldiers fill the streets, helicopters are in the sky,
The weak and poor stand their battlegrounds and the strong man cries.
Equalities has been divided, power is stripped from the man, business owners dreams crumble,while the unprivilged lock hands.
Leaders step down, poor communities gain power, more dreams burnt to ashes after the midnight hour.
America rise up, put both feet on the ground, honor all our brothers and sisters from white to brown.
Make our unity unbreakable throughout the land our forefathers found.
Lock hands and hearts throughout the nation, let equal rights end this war
Let's rise above all nations , United we shall stand, even stronger than before.
