This is a fight, broken bottles, bloody walls
There was a time, when a fist could solve it out
But those days are gone along with many murdered lives

Hey, contention
Hey, it's killing us

This is a war, complete with a body count
This ain't the past, this ain't the future, this is now
When will we stand up and refuse to be put down?

Hey, contention
Hey, it's killing us

Hey, contention
Hey, it's killing us
