Woke up in the city
Where the sirens never sleep
Lost souls wander streets
Broken dreams run deep
Mama's cooking in the kitchen
Tryna make ends meet
Daddy's ghost in my mind echoes in the heat
Walking past the liquor store
Fiends on the block
Children in the playground innocence on lock
Government lies eyes blind to the plot
Survival of the fittest
But the bottom's all we got
Bottom's all we got (For Now)
We rise
We fall
We break
We crawl
Through the fire and the pain we stand tall
Voices in the night whispering the call
In the concrete jungle we find our all
Politicians preaching change
But it's all the same
Hunger in the bellies who's the one to blame?
In the land of the free but freedom's just a name
Chain us with the euros playing their game
Brothers locked up sisters tryna hold tight
System built to break us we fight for our light
Praying for a day when we can live right
In the land of the shadows tryna find the bright
We find our light
Yeah we find our light
We rise
We fall
We break
We crawl
Through the fire and the pain we stand tall
Voices in the night whispering the call
In this concrete jungle we find our all
Children of the struggle warriors of the street
Fighting for tomorrow
Through the flames and the heat
No justice in the system but we refuse defeat
From Amsterdam to the world
Feel the rhythm in the beat
Legacy of kings queens in our veins
Revolution's song breaking all the chains
Power in the voice no more silent pain
In the echos of the night hear our refrain
Hear our refrain
Baby what's your name
This is not no game
We rise
We fall
We break
We crawl
Woke up in the city
Where the sirens never sleep
Lost souls wander streets
Broken dreams run deep
Mama's cooking in the kitchen
Tryna make ends meet
Daddy's ghost in my mind echoes in the heat
Walking past the liquor store
Fiends on the block
Children in the playground innocence on lock
Government lies eyes blind to the plot
Hold up
Politicians preaching change
But it's all the same
Hunger in the bellies who's the one to blame?
In the land of the free but freedom's just a name
Chain us with the euros playing their game
Brothers locked up sisters tryna hold tight
System built to break us we fight for our light
Praying for a day when we can live right
In the land of shadows tryna find the bright
We find our light
Yeah we find our light
Hope in the heart but the scars run deep
Dreams of a future in the nights we weep (yuh)
Unity's the key love's the only creed
Plant the seed of change let it grow let them lead
Children of the struggle warriors of the street
Fighting for tomorrow through the flames and the heat
No justice in the system but refuse defeat
From Amsterdam to the world feel the rhythm in the beat
Legacy of kings queens in our veins
Revolution's song breaking all the chains
Power in our voice no more silent pain
No more pain
No more silent pain
In the echo of the night hear our refrain
Keep marching forward through the darkest night
In the city of the angels we'll find our light
From the ashes we rise with all our might
This is our story this is our fight
