(Verse 1 – Reggae Flow)
Nah, nah, nah, it's bullshit!
How many lives hit?
How many cries, how many minds just quit?
They say, "He’ll be fine, he just needs time,"
But time don’t heal when you're losing your mind.
They say, "She got a roof, she got a bed,"
So how can she be sad with all that’s been said?
Man, life ain’t just about what you see,
It’s about what you feel when you try to break free.
(Pre-Chorus – Smooth Island Melody)
So I pray, but not in the way
They preach every day, with ego in play.
I stand in the storm, I weather the pain,
But when will the sun shine again?
(Chorus – Uplifting Reggae Hook)
Your fathers, your mothers, your sisters, your brothers,
The ones up above us who know what real love is.
They tell us the same, whatever their name,
Life is too short to be lost in the game.
(Verse 2 – Hip-Hop Flow)
I know it’s intense, my life’s on the fence,
And everything’s spent, I can barely make rent.
This ain't how it should be, man, open your eyes,
We locked in a cage, but it's all in disguise.
They treat us like villains, they hide what they do,
While mothers and children got nothing but food stamps and news.
They wanna control us, they wanna divide,
But we are not dumb, man, we see through the lies.
(Pre-Chorus – Smooth Island Melody)
So I pray, but not in the way
They preach every day, with ego in play.
I stand in the storm, I weather the pain,
But when will the sun shine again?
(Chorus – Uplifting Reggae Hook)
Your fathers, your mothers, your sisters, your brothers,
The ones up above us who know what real love is.
They tell us the same, whatever their name,
Life is too short to be lost in the game.
(Bridge – Acoustic Breakdown)
They branding the image, they selling the lie,
They got all the things but they empty inside.
You get to the top, but what do you see?
A man with it all, but he still ain’t free.
(Final Verse – Rap with Reggae Beat Drop)
So here’s to the fighters, the ones who still dream,
Who rise from the ashes and know what it means.
To love and be loved, to struggle, to strive,
To push through the pain, to know you’re alive.
(Outro – Uplifting Melody)
Here’s to hoping, love is the one thing,
That you need, to be free.
Ohhh, to be free… yeah, yeah, yeahhh.
