CHALLENGER'S RAP

• Verse 1
• From the moment I took my first breath,
• The eyes of the law have been watching me to death
• They see my skin like a target on my back,
• Cuz of the way that I look they won't ever cut me slack
•  
• Chorus
• It's a heavy weight that I'm bearing,
• That I'm forced to carry everyday
• To worry about the lives of brothers and sisters,
• Bein' taken away!
•  
• Verse 2
• It's too late for talkin', no more empty promises
• Puttin' justice in the hands of power and politics
• We won't stand for this discrimination, we'll fight with one voice
• Until we're given the rights that we deserve
•  
• Chorus
• It's a heavy weight that I'm bearing,
• That I'm forced to carry everyday
• To worry about the lives of brothers and sisters,
• Bein taking away
•  
• Verse 1
• Like a thief in the night, the cops swarm in
• Fear and rage in the eyes of my kin
• Fists clenched tight, their faces so grim
• I wish there was something I could have done to prevent this again
•  
• Chorus
• We’re out here in the line of fire
• Fighting for justice, we won't tire
• We won't surrender, we won't retire
• Our voices ringing out in the night like a choir
•  
• Verse 2
• Too long have we been ignored, denied and trampled on
• We rise up and fight for our rights, will we ever be gone?
• Our pain has been denied and our stories untold
• But still here we stand, our spirits are bold
•  
• Bridge
• So many wrongs that need to be righted
• So many stories that need to be heard
• Let’s raise our voices and stand together
•  
• Verse 1
• We are a people in despair, living in this broken world
• The injustice is everywhere, can't no one hear us call?
• Our lives are taken for granted, our rights denied for so long
• We're screaming but no one's listening, our voices just go unheard
•  
• Chorus
• We are the ones who are fighting, we are the ones who won’t back down
• We are the ones who will stand up, and raise our voices proud
• And when we look to the sky, we can see a better day
• We won't turn our backs on justice, time to fight for what is right away
•  
• Verse 2
• It's time to take a stand and make our voices heard
• The time is now to speak out against these hateful words
• Our brothers and sisters are suffering, this is a battle to be won
• We must unite and fight together, until justice is done
