Echoes of the Uprising

We can feel it, deeply Yeah, eyes wide (Wide), mind fried (Fried), earth cried (Cried), truth lied (Lied), hope died [Chorus] Ain't nobody thriving no more Watch the riches in their hands just soar, the poor feel the shorn And I bet you'll see them towering over us, the lore We're in their game and we're the pawns they'll send, forever torn I can't ignore the mighty roar And when I'm marching with the throngs we shout, the message borne And when I'm yelling, feel the purpose that we're meant to restore And I be wailing through the tempest, there's gonna be a storm Now we rise up, through the cracks of the street Hustling hearts with no defeat In this system, we just meat, but we won't retreat (No retreat) Our unity can never be beat (Never be beat) A sea of voices, making waves, a fleet Together strong, they can't delete (They can't delete) We break the silence, we won't just tweet We’re feet to pavement, society's heartbeat (Society's heartbeat) [Chorus] Ain't no chains gonna hold our force We break free, we steer the course The grip of greed, like chains we ride (We ride) Echoes of the cash divide (Divide), the truth we can't abide It's like a tide that's on the rise, and we're the ones hit side by side In suits they hide (Hide), their pockets wide (Wide), while we just seek to own our lives But the symphony of our outcry (Our outcry) Swells like the thunder 'neath the sky (Beneath the sky) We're the quake they cannot deny, we'll take the power, eye to eye As we defy (Defy), we'll amplify (Amplify), till the creed of greed starts to die We orchestrate the battle cry, for equality we'll always vie Brace for the clash, the echo of the streets (Of the streets) Voices unite, they're never discreet A crescendo of wills in the capitalist heat We won't be the ones to accept the defeat (Never defeat) [Chorus] This ain't a battle, it’s the war we wage Against the golden thrones, it's every age Rising right up from history's page We're more than numbers, more than a wage It's a movement, not just rage We're the authors now, we write the stage
