Remedy
[Intro]
Listen

[Verse 1]
Put a fire on me but I don't burn
Shit on my history til I'm taciturn
Make a mockery of reality
Generations 'til a recovery
Won't be long before the remedy
Try to decide on which side you wanna be

[Pre-Chorus]
What are you so afraid of? (What are you so afraid of?)
Don't you know what you're made of? (Don't you know what you're made of?)
No time to be patient (No time to be patient)

[Chorus]
How many more must die?
Before the remedy
Can you hear all my people cry?
For thе remedy

How many more must diе?
Before the remedy
Can you hear all my people cry?
For the remedy
[Verse 2]
Render me 'dangerous human' in your eyes
Suck out the air inside me and still I rise
You surround me with guns at every turn
See the system is rigged to shoot me first (shoot me)
"I can’t breathe", the final curtain call
Stuck in denial until we face it all

[Pre-Chorus]
What are you so afraid of? (What are you so afraid of?)
Don't you know what you're made of? (Don't you know what you're made of?)
No time to be patient (No time to be patient)

What are you so afraid of? (What are you so afraid of?)
Don't you know what you're made of? (Don't you know what you're made of?)
No time to be patient (No time to be patient)

[Chorus]
How many more must die?
Before the remedy
Can you hear all my people cry?
For the remedy

How many more must die?
Before the remedy
Can you hear all my people cry?
For the remedy
[Pre-Chorus]
What are you so afraid of?
Don't you know what you're made of?
No time to be patient

What are you so afraid of? (What are you so afraid of?)
Don't you know what you’re made of? (Don't you know what you're made of?)
No time to be patient (No time to be patient)

[Bridge]
How many more must die?
Before the remedy

[Chorus]
How many more must die?
Before the remedy (No time to be patient)
Can you hear all my people cry?
For the remedy (No time to be patient)
