paroles de chanson We Will Rise (feat. Leanne) - Gemini Genesis

You gotta find a way to survive cause they win when your soul dies
You gotta find a way to survive cause they win when your soul dies
You gotta find a way to survive cause they win when your soul dies

You see we're living in a world where you turn on the news
To see another youngin dead cause of the skin he couldn't choose
Victims falsely accused
Keep piling up the views
Raw footage of abuse that the media misconstrues
Blocking out the truth cause they can't fit in those shoes
Quick to turn the other cheek when it's not their blood that spews
Gats attached to a badge means murder gets excused?
Targeting minorities
A system built to makе us lose
Harass us and gas us through the protests and marchеs
When all we scream is justice
But they hardly face charges
Trigger happy cops shooting with no warning
No regard for human life
Leave families in mourning
How many pay the price before they get served?
How many more silenced before we get heard?
It's gotten to the point where it's not just white against black
It's us versus them
Killing us for fighting back

Cause together we will rise
As we lift both our hands into the sky
I'm praying to god that the world unites
As we stand together to conquer this fight

It seems hypocritical that a country so divided
Instills pledging allegiance when we've never been united
Our rights don't seem to matter when a pig starts sweating
Quickly reaching for their weapon anytime they feel threatened
It's ironic to me
"O say can you see"
When equality's highlighted but a badge makes them blinded
Laying bodies down in bags underneath the same flag
But have the nerve to get mad that we don't wanna recite it?
I guess they forgot why Kaepernick chose to kneel
Could it be cause Castile had a license for that steel?
Or maybe it was Alton who should've proceeded with caution
Or the pig who killed Crutcher and the law didn't touch her
Now these bootlickers say they couldn't shoot quicker
Not caring who's withchu
Got two cops on two triggers
Got your life in their hands, taking place of the reaper
Cause you know it runs deeper than just following procedure

Cause together we will rise
As we lift both our hands into the sky
I'm praying to god that the world unites
As we stand together to conquer this fight
