lyrics

I've been so tired lately
Breakin' my back just to pay fees
But this body and spirit don't break,
Catch me with my fist up high till we make it
Every corner of the world there is hope
Cause we need a world where our families know
There's no fear in the way that we love,
No arrests or separation,
No stolen wages, or land,
So get up, get up, get up, hey..

My city can you hear me?
We organize to be free
Together, we make history

Keep on giving every breath
is for a greater fight, but something within our lives
It's okay to lean on me cause
We'll be goin' till we're doin' fine and
Everybody sleeps under a bed light
