歌词
[Verse 1, Reflective, Smooth Beat]
They told us dreams were free, but the cost was never clear,
We work the lands, they take the gold, while we shed blood and tears,
Our voices silenced by the greed, they got us on our knees,
The world watches in silence, while they profit off our needs.
[Chorus, Gospel Choir, Soulful]
Oh, broken promises, and shattered dreams,
We’re caught in the system, tearing at the seams,
They take what’s ours, and leave us dry,
But we rise up, reachin’ for the sky.
[Verse 2, Narrative, Laid-Back Flow]
They came with smiles, but behind 'em, knives,
Promised us the world, while takin’ lives,
They built their towers on our broken backs,
Left us in the dirt, never lookin’ back.
They say it's business, but it feels like war,
Runnin' through the night, can’t take no more,
Our people starve, while they feast on lies,
We fight to live, but in their eyes, we die.
[Chorus, Gospel Choir, Soulful]
Oh, broken promises, and shattered dreams,
We’re caught in the system, tearing at the seams,
They take what’s ours, and leave us dry,
But we rise up, reachin’ for the sky.
[Bridge, Spoken Word, Emotional Build]
You see, they think we blind, but we see it all,
The rich get richer, while the poor just fall,
But we got fire in our souls, we’re gonna break these chains,
Our time is comin', gonna bring the change.
[Verse 3, Reflective, Deep]
In the shadow of their power, we still stand tall,
They think they own the world, but they don’t own us all,
From the slums to the hills, we’re shoutin’ loud,
This is our story, and we’re damn proud.
They’ll never break us, though they try so hard,
We hold the truth, we carry the scars,
Our history’s written in blood and pain,
But our future’s bright, we’ll rise again.
[Chorus, Gospel Choir, Soulful]
Oh, broken promises, and shattered dreams,
We’re caught in the system, tearing at the seams,
They take what’s ours, and leave us dry
