lyrics

Riots and news takes
Isolation and heartache
Humanity's at stake
Half a step away

Wake up, everybody, today
If you weren't here back in 2K-
16, we were fighting in the same race
For one and the same
Don't you wait
Don't you say
"That ain't my life I'm free"
There's a 'you' in 'us,' can't you see
Keep that 2020 vision tattooed on your sleeve
For we, the people

Protests and signing sites
Gruesome weapon in disguise
Yearning for real change
Marches and marches away

Wake up, to the privileged, today
We've been here long before 2K-
16, fighting against the solid painted wall
We invented it all
Do you know
Laws don't show
What it means for all to be free
There's a 'you' in 'us,' can't you see
Keep that 2020 vision tattooed on your sleeve
For those who don't look like you

Don't you wear a mask adorned with
Extra layers of artificial empathy
Oooh
Don't you travel on the bandwagon
Let your heart be your means of transportation

Protests, signing sites
Gruesome weapon in disguise
Humanity's at stake
'Til we all step for change
