We don't need no fuckin' intro (intro)
Take a look outside your window
The riots, the vibe is
The chaos, the violence
The protests, the movement
The action, the silence (shh)
I can't believe what we're seeing (what we're seeing)
Are we not all human beings?
With morals and ethics and ability to reason (reason)
"I can't breathe" is what we're screaming (screaming)
Politicians, media scheming (scheming)
Wake me up, I must be dreaming
The time is of the hour
The rebuilding of the Towers and relinquishing the powers (powers)
You can smell the flowers
America is ours
The freedom is a must (must), equality and trust (trust)
It's the liberty and truth, no excuse we need justice
Marching in the streets (streets)
Barking at the beast (beast)
Sharpening the cleats and the charging of police
No justice (no justice)
No peace (no peace)
Black lives matter, to say the least
Power to the people, that's the basis
Minorities wrongfully killed, too many cases
Half the country hates it while the other half is racist
Systematic racism, we gotta face it
The ghetto is a hell, where far too many dwell
Designed to make for failure and end up dead up in a cell
We gotta help and teach each other
'Bout the struggles of our brothers, sisters, fathers, babies, mothers
(Babies, mothers, babies, mothers)
No one should have to suffer (suffer, suffer)
We all bleed the same color (color, color)
This is not a foreign argument (argument, argument)
Tear the roof off parliament
Destroy and demolish (demolish), reform and abolish (abolish)
Endure and be honest to ensure the people's promise (promise)
Everyone deserves a chance
You should never say you can't
Say it loud and take a stance
My family was murdered in the Holocaust
No more killing, what's the dollar cost? (Dollar cost)
Remember Wu-Tang is for the children (for the children)
Protect ya neck and keep building
Respect and know your privilege
Do the right thing as you go about your business (business)
Write the night up with the spark
Fight the power, take your mark
Shine the light upon the dark (dark, dark)
Love conquers hate (conquers hate, conquers hate)
Above all is faith
This verse is like a ladder (dear world)
We can all do better
(Do better, do better, do better)
(Do better, do better, do better)
