[Intro: Def Sound]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Free 'em all, free 'em all, free 'em all
No one's free till we all free
[Verse 1: Def Sound & Lauren Jauregui, Both]
I wanna speak with you, you know, go deep with you
Beyond words, reach with you, deep tissue
This is prayer, summoning God
Numb to the laws, miles, trumpet triumphant, Alhamdulillah
Divine intervention against the system, and Peter
All of our living encompassed, freedom isn't so distant
Now listen, been to the future and back
Guess what? We winnin', let's get specific
We need brand new conditions, sacrificin' your privilege
Living as a love, hate can never еxtinguish
Hearts broken go harder, rеst in power the martyrs
The bigger picture gets larger and everything's connected
It's day 94, the homie just copped a chrome
Running low on the hope, can't act like you don't know
Bro, it's right there on your phone
They got funnin' for they drones, no forgiveness for your loans
I don't even really wish mercy on they souls
But there's joy in the struggle, truth isn't subtle
Standin' with the babies in the rubble
As we tumble through the tumble
Tears can fill a puddle
I write this 'cause I love you, I write this 'cause I love you
I write this 'cause I love you, I write this cause I love
I really love us
[Chorus: Lauren Jauregui]
Ayy, lovin' for better days
Fightin' for better days
Prayin' for better days
As we awake
Dreamin' of better ways
Buildin' a better place
Where everybody's safe
As we awake
[Post-Chorus: Lauren Jauregui]
We awake
Mmm-mmm-mmm
[Verse 2: Def Sound & Lauren Jauregui]
Yeah, now I'm lookin' at this shit like peace is pretty mid
Try bein' non-violent when your dignity is stripped
Every day's a gift as painful as it is, I see myself in them
Lookin' in they eyes like, "That's a different strength"
Lookin' in they eyes like, "That's a different strength"
Lookin' at a song like, "That's a different bridge"
What would you do if they bombed your crib?
Who would you be? Where would you live?
What would you do if they bombed your crib?
Who would you be? How would you live?
If you hear my voice
I'm in
And if you hear my voice
Free 'em all
Free 'em all, free 'em all, that's the call
By any means, I really mean
I mean, I mean
[Chorus: Lauren Jauregui]
Ayy, lovin' for better days
Fightin' for better days
Prayin' for better days
As we awake
Dreamin' of better ways
Buildin' a better place
Where everybody's safe
As we awake
[Post-Chorus: Lauren Jauregui]
Awake
Awake
Awake
Awake
Ooh
[Interlude]
Colonizers are destroying the, the world's memories about certain people
So they can simply omit them and take their lands
The number one thing that I know you can help in is to memorize us
To remember us always, to tell the world about us
And to not ever and never leave us in this unjust and in this oppression
[Bridge: Def Sound]
No one is growing, freedom's the motives
How is this over? Something that I'm thinking about
They're throwing ammonials, silence is showing
Voting feels like picking a poison
There's certain truths that get hard to face
Intersection's not a parking space
Human lives gettin' so displaced
Over land and oil, it's such disgrace
I can't sleep, I be hearing 'em
A ceasefire's just the minimum
This deep eye is so insidious
Where's your heart, bro? I'm curious
Can't sleep, I be hearing them
A ceasefire's just the minimum
That deep eye is so insidious
Where's your heart, yo? I'm curious
