Freedom for my people is urgent
Tell me, who are you serving?
Tell 'em all the facts and they curve 'em
Guess the truth is a burden
Wipe that shit out like detergent
Either that or we burn it
'Cause freedom for my people is urgent
Think you know we deserve it

News come, news go
Still we fight when the screen's closed
News come, news go
Still we fight when the screen's frozen
News come, news go
Still we fight when they won't show it
News come, news go
Still we fight 'til the light's on

I see the future, I see so clearly
I see the vision inside the children
I see so clearly, I see the future
It's green and lovely, it's waiting on me

News come, news go
Still we fight when the screen's closed (still we fight)
News come, news go
Still we fight when the screen's frozen (still we fight)
News come, news go
Still we fight when they won't show it
News come, news go
Still we fight 'til the light's on (still we fight, ooh ah)

(I broke the chains, broke the chains, broke the chains off me)
(I broke the chains, broke the chains, broke the chains off me)
(I broke the chains, broke the chains, broke the chains off me)
(I broke the chains, broke the chains, broke the chains off me)

See the future, I see so clearly
It's green and lovely, it's waiting on me

Freedom for my people is urgent
And you know we deserve it
Tell me, who are you serving?
Don't keep it under the surface

Freedom for my people is urgent
But we can't get discouraged
Peace has a price, hope it's worth it
Tell us be quiet, then disturb us

Ah, ah, and I'm done being nervous
When they see us switch lanes and swerve it
Ah, we're diamonds under the dirt here
System don't deserve us

Oh, freedom for my people is urgent
Ah, and you know we deserve it
Ah, you got a taste of the war here now but
That ain't even the worst yet

Ah, freedom for my people is urgent
Oh, I watch them dig in their purses, huh
But I cannot be purchased, no
Pay up, but I cannot be purchased
