We Will Rise (feat. Leanne)

You see we're living in a world where you turn on the news To see another youngin dead cause of the skin he couldn't choose Victims falsely accused, keep piling up the views Raw footage of abuse that the media misconstrues Blocking out the truth cause they can't fit in those shoes Quick to turn the other cheek when it's not their blood that spews Gats attached to a badge means murder gets excused? Targeting minorities, a system built to make us lose Harass us and gas us through the protests and marches When all we scream is justice but they hardly face charges Trigger happy cops shooting with no warning No regard for human life, leave families in mourning How many pay the price before they get served? How many more silenced before we get heard? It's gotten to the point where it's not just white against black It's us versus them, killing us for fighting back Cause together we will rise As we lift both our hands into the sky I'm praying to god that the world unites As we stand together to conquer this fight It seems hypocritical that a country so divided Instills pledging allegiance when we've never been united Our rights don't seem to matter when a pig starts sweating Quickly reaching for their weapon anytime they feel threatened It's ironic to me, "O say can you see?" When equality's highlighted but a badge makes them blinded Laying bodies down in bags underneath the same flag But have the nerve to get mad that we don't wanna recite it? I guess they forgot why Kaepernick chose to kneel Could it be cause Castile had a license for that steel? Maybe it was Alton who should've proceeded with caution Or the pig who killed Crutcher and the law didn't touch her Now these bootlickers say they couldn't shoot quicker Not caring who's witcha, got two cops on two triggers Got your life in their hands, taking place of the reaper Cause you know it runs deeper than just following procedure Cause together we will rise As we lift both our hands into the sky I'm praying to god that the world unites As we stand together to conquer this fight
