Can't Break Us Lyrics

They wanna break us down, tear us apart Try to kill the dream, but they fear the heart

We built from the struggle, pain in our veins But we rise, we fight, we break these chains

Dark suits in the towers making cold decisions Turning people to numbers running up through ridges

They poison the skies, they poison the seas Then sell us a jaw for the sickness they breathe

They have power, but they lack that soul Money stacking high, but their hearts stay cold

They feed us wars, they feed us fear Turning brother against brother while they sit and cheer

Nah, we ain't slaves to the game, the architects Building up the kingdom that they scared to protect

From the ashes we rise, from the dirt we grow Let them try to break us, we gon' still go

They wanna break us down, tear us apart Try to kill the dream, but they fear the heart

We built from the struggle, pain in our veins But we rise, we fight, we break these chains

They censor the truth, they drown out the wise Feed us distractions while they conquer the skies

But I see through the lies, through the smoke they spread Try to kill a message, but the words won't be dead

Every ghetto, every block, every soul in a fight We the real revolution, we are the ones with the light

We take back the power, we take back the throne This world is ours, it's time to take it home

Let the sirens ring, let the rebels march We are the ink in the book, we the spark in the dark

They can burn down cities, they can silence the sound But the voice of the people won't air

They wanna break us down, tear us apart Try to kill the dream, but they fear the heart

We built from the struggle, pain in our veins But we rise, we fight, we break these chains

Let them try, let them plot, let them hate, let them steam We the heartbeat of the streets, the ones who still dream

Through the fire, through the doubt, through the pain, through the sound Make a try, but they never gon' break us down
