Island Nights Embrace

In the shadows of the system We rise from the dirt eyes wide open Hearts on fire Time to put in the work Born in the cracks where the concrete don't bend Dreams defer like promises that never They paint us villains in the script to parade But we carry the weight of a world unafraid Invisible chains wrapped around ancestral wrists Drowned in the mist, schoolyard wrists Whispers of freedom drowned in the mist Schoolyard lessons laced with bias ink Teacher ended before we can think Mental mazes Echoes of doubt in the night Battling demons born from societal spite I see the spark in the mirror's cold gaze I see the spark in the mirror's cold gaze From the system we blaze Take the silence Shatter the darkness The cage Empower the soul Ignite the rage We rise together No more divide Conscious minds Let the truth be our guiser Politicians feast While the hoods stay starved In the qualities blade Forever more Irracial shadows dancing on justice Disgraving unities Crumbling Too proud to cave Self-reflection In the fractures from generation and affection Spiritually called Find the power in the pain Find the power in the pouring rain No more begging for scraps From the fables From the fables Late fables is united A symphony A storm in the future Transforming the norm Shatter the cage Empower the soul Ignite the rage We rise together No more divide Conscious minds Let the truth be our guide Take the silence Shatter the cage Empower the soul Ignite the rage We rise together Words forever spoken Rise up Fade into power Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
