Justice is still a work in progress

We got fire building in our soul we released it onto you 

Maybe you could listen to us because we're tired of running 

We're tired of running from the truth like you still need someone there to tell you you're right 

Well you're not. 

You don't like being told you're not right, do you? 

We don't like being told you're the reason our children are dying 

But we're not allowed to speak 

Justice for all 

But when's the last time you actually asked ALL of us what we needed? 

No wonder we fight for it because you're the one who starts the war 

We want silence we want peace but how are we supposed to get it if you try to shut us down 

No you wont listen to us 

You go home to your family and you don't see one child less 

We haven't harmed your loved ones we're harming what you have became 

To try to show the real you the truth because all that training went to your brain 

If you had a heart and brain you would think of your pros and cons of the action 

If they taught you right you would have known that it's supposed to be the other way around 

We're supposed to feel like you're protecting us but you're the thing that makes me feel the most scared

Not for only my life but for my younger brothers and sisters of the world 

Not only for them but for their children in the future 

This may go on for only this generation or it could be a decade of non stop violence 

One day you'll have to put up your white flag because without work we can't have peace

Without justice we can't become one 

Parents ask your daughter and son today who they are

Listen closely for their voice under these masks because you know damn well they've got one 

They've got fire in their souls and they'll unleash it on you
