Verse 1 (spoken/chant, gritty)
Look around, what do you see?
People fightin’ over skin and beliefs.
Pointin’ fingers, drawin’ lines in the sand—
But we bleed the same blood, we’re the same damn man.
Bigotry, fascism, they try to divide—
But love is a fire they can’t push aside.
We were made to lift each other up, not fall…
So why we buildin’ these walls at all?
⸻
Pre-Chorus (shouted, crowd-style)
Hate ain’t power—
It’s fear in disguise!
Tell me why we fall for it,
Why believe the lies?
⸻
Chorus (explosive, strong like the original)
Hate!—What’s it good for?
Absolutely NOTHIN’!
Say it again—
Hate!—What’s it good for?
Absolutely NOTHIN’!
We could be one,
We could stand as a nation—
But we keep breakin’ apart
With this senseless frustration.
Hate!—What’s it good for?
Absolutely NOTHIN’!
⸻
Verse 2 (soulful but fierce)
We were made in love, in the image of light—
But we’re busy throwin’ punches instead of doin’ what’s right.
Nobody wins when the world’s in pain,
We all stand under the same sun, same rain.
You got two hands—use ’em to heal.
Use ’em to lift someone up for real.
Every soul’s worth more than gold—
But hate makes hearts so damn cold.
⸻
Pre-Chorus (crowd shouting back)
Anger don’t fix it,
Violence don’t save!
We’re stronger together—
That’s the way we were made!
⸻
Chorus (big, bold)
Hate!—What’s it good for?
Absolutely NOTHIN’!
Let ’em hear you—
Hate!—What’s it good for?
Absolutely NOTHIN’!
If love is the answer,
Why we runnin’ from the truth?
Why we raisin’ fists
Instead of raisin’ our youth?
Hate!—What’s it good for?
Absolutely NOTHIN’!
⸻
Bridge (smooth, soulful choir behind a spoken lead)
(Choir humming “Mmmm… love, love, love…”)
Listen up…
We ain’t gotta fight to be seen.
We ain’t gotta shout to be free.
Every one of us just wants peace—
A world where we finally breathe.
⸻
Final Chorus (crowd anthem, huge energy)
Hate!—What’s it good for?
Absolutely NOTHIN’!
Come on now—
Hate!—What’s it good for?
Absolutely NOTHIN’!
Love builds bridges,
Hate burns ’em down—
But we can change this world
Right here, right now.
Hate!—What’s it good for?
Absolutely NOOOOTHIN’!
