We hold the power one by one 
Fists in the air we are never done
Better brace yourself because we just begun
Run, run, run, here we come, come, come
Tunisia to Syria, down to Congo across to Columbia
When we get justice we will release
Then we will have some Peace

I'm sick of all the deaths in police custody
Where's the consequences and accountability?
Ain't nobody wanna take responsibility
Black blood on your hands, blue you are guilty
I'll never stop speaking cos my speech is free
Never stop yelling so you can hear me
Not safe on the streets you call this liberty?
You get no respect with no integrity
You can use tear gas, water or pepper spray
But nothing will stop the change coming your way 
Religion should never govern the state
How can something so divine cause so much hate?
How much more can people endure?
One percenters love keeping the people poor
While corporations keep buying up the law
I stand with you now, this is what I'm here for

Now I would never judge a man acting in self-defense
Nor belittle the peacekeepers having to mend the fence 
But the problem with these vengeance cycles is that they never end
Thus the profiteers of violence never had a better friend
Opportunists come in droves
Gun running, Smuggling 
Journalists who parachute in
Families are juggling... 
While four to five weddings and funerals any given time
Mortar fire, Rounds of ammunition 
Mama says "It's fine"... Yep
Mama says "It's fine everything's gonna be okay"
But I could sense the fear from 7 thousand miles away
How could I just forget it, that's why I put it in a verse
We don't do this work for credit
We don't spit it for a purse
After all ... 
What's more shameful than the praise of fools?
Chasing after fame's how you play the fool 
Fava Beans to Offendum - just a plate of fool
Giving me the energy I need to work late
Now we make the earth shake
