Rattling the Divide

streets whisper warnings through the cracks in the pavement eyes wide open but the vision stays faded i walk these blocks where the lights flicker low kids chasing dreams but the system says no bills pile higher than the towers downtown mothers hold tight while the promises drown rich men in suits paint the sky with their lies feeding the hunger with crumbs and goodbyes i see the divide growing wider each day same faces and power still stealing the pay wake up to the truth that they bury so deep social chains rattle while the silent ones we we build this world but they sold it for gold fight for the soul before the story gets old raise up your voice let the anger ignite change comes from shadows when we step into light yeah nostalgia hits hard for the days we could trust need theorems share bread now it's every man crush screens flash the stories that twist every fact turning our brothers to enemies crack the aggression boils over when justice stays blind and the future got fire in their mind i remember the hope you that once lit up the block now it's survival in the world built the shock they divide us by color and fear what we know but together we shatter the walls that they grow one voice turns to many when the fire breaks free rewrite the ending of this broken decree wake up to the truth that they bury so deep social chains rattle while the silent ones we we built this world but they sold it for gold fight for the soul before the fire breaks free before the story gets told i said we can't keep living this way i said we can't keep living this way i said we can't keep living this way oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
