Shatter the Veil

Scales tip heavy Shadows pulling strings Wake up, see the change Time to break them clean Born in the grind Where the ladders are skewed dreams Get crushed under boots polished and new They hoard the light while we scrape in the dark Pockets lined gold, leaving us torn apart Voices rise up with the systems Their fears promise the change, then tighten the fears Kids with potential lost in the shuffle While elites feast, we wrestle the struggle Hustle with crumbs on the table set highs on the prize But the rules are denied Generations trapped in the cycle, they spin again The mold got a fight from what they Rise up, shatter the veil No more silent screams, inequality's thrown We tear at the scenes Power to the people, this clenched tight We write the script under our own light No more begging We claim what's ours, break the barriers Reach for the stars Feel the weight pressing down on the chest They be eyes locked by the stars Behind walls of unrest One side swims free, the other just sinks Got a cut of delis pouring the drinks We build the empires on sweat and on tears They count the profits ignore all the years But fire ignites in the hearts of the bold Stories untold, not ready to be told Unite the broken, weave strength from the pain Turn rage to a river, wash out the stain No saviors coming, it's us in the fray Tomorrow's ours if we seize it today Pause for a breath in this storm We question the roots, make the vision pure Empower the silence, lift every voice So we can see the future Follow the chains, that's our only joy Rise up, shatter the veil No more silent screams, inequality's thrown We, we tear at the seams, power to the people This clenched tight, we write the script under our own light No more begging We claim what's ours, break the barriers Reach for the stars Yeah, the tide's turning slow, but it's turning for real Systemic chains crack under will and steel We rise we fall we rise again We fight equality's call One unified beat, we conquer it all Yeah Yeah, the tide's turning slow, but it's turning for real Yeah, the tide's turning slow, but it's turning for real Yeah, the tide's turning slow, but it's turning for real Yeah, the tide's turning slow, but it's turning for real Yeah, the tide's turning slow, but it's turning for real Yeah, the tide's turning slow, but it's turning for real Yeah, the tide's turning slow, but it's turning for real Yeah, the tide's turning slow, but it's turning for real Yeah, the tide's turning slow, but it's turning for real Yeah, the tide's turning slow, but it's turning for real Yeah, the tide's turning slow, but it's turning for real Yeah, the tide's turning slow, but it's turning for real Yeah, the tide's turning slow, but it's turning for real Yeah, the tide's turning slow, but it's turning for real Yeah, the tide's turning slow, but it's turning for real Yeah, the tide's turning slow, but it's turning for real Yeah, the tide's turning slow, but it's turning for real Yeah, the tide's turning slow, but it's turning for real Yeah, the tide's turning slow, but it's turning for real
