Divided by the color no justice no peace
We fightin' every day will the struggle ever cease?
Hated on one side pimped out on the other
Abuser and user got us stuck undercover
Democrats Republicans playin' their game
But the last few days showed us who's really to blame
When will it end this pain and strife?
We built this land yet we fight for life
Our eyes are open we're seein' clear
We got the power and they'll lend us their ear
Brought in by the busloads takin' our place
They think we sleepin' but we awake in this race
Laws passin' for others while we still in the fight
Strugglin' every day but we know what's right
On the other side they'd erase us if they could
See us as less than but we rise understood
When will it end this pain and strife?
We built this land yet we fight for life
Our eyes are open we're seein' clear
We got the power and they'll lend us their ear
Divided by the color but united in our call
When we stop spendin' they gon' watch us all
A trillion-dollar power that's what we hold
Tap the pockets of the rich and the truth unfolds
They'll start to listen they'll heed our cry
Change will come abrupt under the same sky
When will it end this pain and strife?
We built this land yet we fight for life
Our eyes are open we're seein' clear
We got the power and they'll lend us their ear
On every corner we stand tall and proud
Our voice is a weapon shout it out loud
We demand respect no more playin' games
Unity in numbers they'll remember our names
We built this land from the ground up strong
Now it's time they see we been here all along
When will it end this pain and strife?
We built this land yet we fight for life
Our eyes are open we're seein' clear
We got the power and they'll lend us their ear
No more division we break the chains
Together we rise through the hurt and the pains
Economics is the key let's make it right
When we hold back the dollar we'll win this fight
They'll start to care when the money talks
Change is comin' it's time to walk the walk
When will it end this pain and strife?
We built this land yet we fight for life
Our eyes are open we're seein' clear
We got the power and they'll lend us their ear
