The System Lyrics

Yeah, uh, yeah, you wanna know something about the system

It's the hardest thing to crack open

Everything they told you, all those lies

Forget it, cause today, we gon' crack it open

Yeah, uh, look, they say it's all equal, but it's just a lie

Try to keep you blinded, so you don't strive

The harsh reality makes freedom die

This system was built to keep us down

Such a pressure makes our hope drown

Yeah, it's a sad thing that we have to see

It's the truth, but you won't believe

Yeah, so let's just speak

We're trapped in an endless cycle

Years after years, month after month

Shootings again for nothing, yeah

For a piece of bread, that's all you got

You should've been dead, but you've been saved by God

He showed his mercy unto you

You took him for naught, and now he left you

He left you for nothing

Yeah

The struggle is real

Together we'll stand

To demand our rights

From each other's hands

The system's crushing us

Our dreams fading to dust

We need to push back harder

Fight against the oppression

Be stronger than the system

You know why

Because it's fading away

Because it's getting weaker

Every day, we stand

Yeah

We come in this one hand to hand

Yeah As a nation

Under God

Yeah

Look

Discrimination lurks At every corner

Cops seeking to devour

A Man slaughter

The media and news lurks around

Every street coming down

Trying to keep us down

Never letting us go further

The system is corrupt to the core

We want to be free

Just like before

Yeah

Yeah

Look

You see all these laws

They made for us

Because we lost our laws

Yeah, the original

Yeah

That God gave us

Yeah

But, listen here

We didn't want to listen

No

We want to do our own thing

Dance our own way

Yeah

And look where we at now

We stuck and

We're drowning

Struggle is real

But its time to brake the chains

Burn down these walls

Our freedom calls

The system's crushing us

Our dreams fading to dust

We need to push back harder

Fight against the oppression

Be stronger than the system

You know why

Because it's fading away

Because it's getting weaker

Every day

We stand

Yeah

We come in as one

Hand to hand

Yeah

As a nation

Under God

Yeah

Look

They trying to take us off the face of the earth

We got to stop them

Break the curse

That's all we got to do

If we want to rise

Yeah

Rise to the most high

That's all you got to do

Yeah

That's all you got to do is rise

The system will be broken

Yeah

All you got to do is rise

We'll keep on fighting the fight

To break the chains that bind us

Together we'll rise

Strong and righteous

We'll rewrite the system

Break the mold

Our voices will be heard

Our stories will be told
