Resistance

We've been dealing with the heat, yeah

Destruction and turmoil

But this is the fire

That will refurbish the soil

And we stand

United in our discomfort

We're growing stronger every summer

We stay awake while the others slumber

I breathe in deep

Feel every little piece of air

Wonder if I'll stay strong enough, long enough, yeah

Because they don't fight fair

They turn on the people

Forgot where they are from

Forgot that the air that they breathe in

Is the same that fills our lungs

We could be angry, we could be violent

We could stand by, we could be silent

Or we could

Resist the changes, the war of ages

That they wage while we pay their wages

We could say

We could say 1, 2, 3, say it

And we've been here before

And it's about time they remember

Who it is they working for

We know the strength in the power

And the power in the persistence

So respect our existence

Or expect our resistance every time, yeah

Expect our resistance every time

People told to hold tight

Said it's gonna go get better with 'em

But time after time we do what they don't for us

And we forgive 'em

But it's gone on now for a bit too long

Since my granddad was born

They've been lying to us about the family

Tryna to keep us torn

But now I see that us and them

Said it's only a game to you

'Cause when we talk to one another

Said we know that that ain't true

'Cause I said, "Now I am you and you are me

And we are one, we're family"

It's only them who want to see us turn away from unity

We could be angry, we could be violent

We could stand by, we could be silent

Or we could

Resist the changes, the war of ages

That they wage while we pay their wages

We could say

We could say 1, 2, 3, say it

And we've been here before

And it's about time they remember

Who it is they working for

'Cause we know the strength in the power

And the power in the persistence

So respect our existence

Or expect our resistance every time, yeah

Expect our resistance every time

There isn't us in them

But it ain't me in you

There isn't us in them

But it ain't me in you

There isn't us in them

But it ain't me in you

There isn't us in them

But it ain't me in you
