It's a matter of truth And our people being robbed of youth It's a matter of strife And what matters most is we have life They don't build it by themselves Then don't share with no one else On their own won't make it right Have to fix it with our might Sounding the fire bell! Cue amplifiers' yell! Together we're stronger So what are we waiting for? End occupier's spell! Tear down empire's hell! Can't take it no longer? Then what are we waiting for? If it's a matter of love Then we should work to make what we speak of If it's a matter of time Well then the commitment should fit the crime Graven images of greed Keep us all from what we need If we never signal change It will become more deranged Sounding the fire bell! Cue amplifiers' yell! Together we're stronger So what are we waiting for? End occupier's spell! Tear down empire's hell! Can't take it no longer? Then what are we waiting for? Sounding the fire bell! Cue amplifiers' yell! Together we're stronger So what are we waiting for? End occupier's spell! Tear down empire's hell! Can't take it no longer? Then what are we waiting for? They don't build it by themselves Then don't share with no one else Fighting for access to health As conditions kill in stealth On their own won't make the change They just do not have the range Take up arms and stake a claim Stop the reign in Jesus' name Uh, Civil How long is how long? They keep the pile-on Wearing kicks you can't even put a mile on I ain't never been the type to call bygones See the vision Freedom I got my eye on There's a lot of this co-opting and appropriating Skin folks get bought out, and I don't have the patience Phobias and -isms create these mental prisons Division that's placed on us and stop our living We manipulated We be punchin down Crabs in a barrel instead of rising to snatch the crown And I ain't backin down A mix of Sandinistas And I'm Black and I'm proud Done with later, it happens now Ain't tryna eat solo, I want us at the table Time to rage against the machine and snatch the cable You don't see it Holmes but your time is coming too When they done coming for us they gonna come for you Sounding the fire bell! Cue amplifiers' yell! Together we're stronger So what are we waiting for? End occupier's spell! Tear down empire's hell! Can't take it no longer? Then what are we waiting for? Sounding the fire bell! Cue amplifiers' yell! Together we're stronger So what are we waiting for? End occupier's spell! Tear down empire's hell! Can't take it no longer? Then what are we waiting for?
