lyrics

As I headed out on the open road
Not entirely sure where I'd go
I fell into an endless pothole
And as I sank deep in the abyss
The city's crumbling roads and bridges
Remind me just how disconnected the city is

I held my breath, tried not to cough
Afraid that I might kill my mom
While those in power write it off
We breathe their toxic air
And as I'm falling, falling faster now
I hear fragments of that old familiar sound
Of those who do the city's work
While the city tries to keep their voices down

No peace
Until no one's sleeping in the street
Until no one's falling to their knees
Hands up and begging for their life
No more
No more history repeating
No more lying when we're teaching
A false narrative that only benefits a few
I can tell you now it won't benefit you

As I plunge deeper in my despair
I close my eyes, say a prayer
To the God who never loved us
Our words fell upon deaf ears
On this stolen land we walk hand in hand
Tomorrow's promise is our demand
The experiment is over
We are scrapping the old plan

The world we want could exist
So hit the streets, raise your fist
Just watch your step, we'll fix that bridge
When we take back our streets

No peace
Until no one's sleeping in the street
Until no one's falling to their knees
Hands up and begging for their life
No more
No more history repeating
Let's tear white supremacy down from its rugged cross
And build something new
