[Intro: Male]
Yo, it's the voice of the youth, break through the static, wake up, speak the truth
Looking at the system, question what do we do? Kids in the shadows, their potential subdued
From hunger to the streets, lost in the confusion, fighting for a voice, caught in the illusion
But we rising, defying, never losing our vision, gotta ask ourselves, is this the new tradition?
[Verse 1: Male]
Yeah, I'm lookin' at the chaos, blood on the pavement, guns and addiction, futures are wasteland
In the land of plenty, but hunger's our real shadow, families starving, they barely handle
A tablet’s a teacher, but the education's flawed, kids can't read or write, in a digital odd
Math's a foreign language, they turn to a device, lost in a cycle, pay the cost of the price
What we do in the land of the free? How we let guns and drugs drown out the plea?
Need solutions not protests, not just complaints, time to change the game, break free from the chains
[Pre-Chorus: Female]
Can we see beyond the screen? Can we step into the real?
Kids under spell, can we break the seal?
The future's calling, voice in the night, fighting for the light, till we ignite
[Chorus: Female]
Tell me, can you hear the questions in our cry?
Are we gonna stand, or let it all just die?
Kids in the shadows, dreams deferred, lookin' for hope in a fractured world
We the voice, we the fight, change the story, bring it to the light
[Verse 2: Female]
They scroll through TikTok, caught up in the hype, lost in the likes, ignoring the plight
Kids can't read, can't write, can't do math, depends on the device, but where's the path?
Under-educated, under-supported, under-served, futures ignored, dreams deferred
It's a crisis, a warning, can’t keep turning blind eye, unity's the answer, time to amplify
Awareness rising, voices combining, demanding change, with every rhyme binding
Equality, opportunity, dignity, fighting for the next generation’s liberty
[Bridge: Male & Female]
(Male): What’s the point of all this weaponry?
(Female): When kids don't get the education they need?
(Male): How we gonna heal a nation broken?
(Female): When so many words remain unspoken?
Together: We gotta rise, stand tall, make a change, break the wall
No more silence, no more delay, join the fight, pave the way
[Outro: Female]
The future's in our hands, we hold the torch, fighting for justice, against the scorch
From the streets to the classrooms, from the fights to the solutions, changing the narrative, our revolution
Stand up, speak out, and let them see, united we rise, for you and me
