[Intro]
Oh, woah, oh
Oh-oh
[Verse 1]
Freedom for my people is urgent
Tell me who are you servin'?
Tell 'em all the facts and they curve 'em
Guess the truth is a burden
Wipe the shit out like detergent
Either that or we burn it
'Cause freedom for my people is urgent
Think you know we deserve it
[Chorus]
News come, news go
Still, we fight when the screen's closed
News come, news go
Still, wе fight when the screen's frozen, ha
Nеws come, news go
Still, we fight when they won't show it
News come, news go
Still, we fight 'til the light's on
[Refrain]
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 waitin' on me
[Chorus]
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, ha (Still we fight)
News come, news go
Still, we fight when they won't show it (Oh, I, oh, oh, I)
News come, news go
Still, we fight 'til the light's on (Still we fight, ooh-ooh, ooh-ah)
[Post-Chorus]
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
[Refrain]
See the future, I see so clearly
It's green and lovely, it's waitin' on me
[Verse 2]
Freedom for my people is urgent
And you know we deserve it
Tell me who are you servin'?
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
I, I'm, done bein' nervous
When they see us switch lanes and swerve it
Ah, we're diamonds under the dirt here
Ah, system don't deserve us
Freedom for my people is urgent
And you know we deserve it, ah
You got a taste of the war here now but
That ain't even the worst yet
Oh, freedom for my people is urgent
Oh, I watch 'em dig in their purses, uh
But I cannot be purchased, no
Pay up, but I cannot be purchased
[Outro]
Ta, ta-da, ta, ta-da, ta, ta-da, ta, ta-da
Ta, ta-da, ta, ta-da, ta, ta-da, ta, ta-da
