lirik lagu we will be heard - purpose
[verse 1]
at thirteen, i was twistin’ up the herb in the riverside reserve
lil punk, teachers spoke, but i ain’t listen to a word
that just made ‘em say the kid’d never learn
i pick myself up ‘cause the system doesn’t work
everybody start livin’ cheque~to~cheque
knee~deep in credit debt, just tryna get ahead
wonderin’ what it all represents
extra stressed on the mornin’ shift, barely slept
we work ‘til five, party ‘til three
then we right back by sunup, how hard could it be?
first ones to come and the last ones to leave
when that bacardi in reach, we make a bar at the beach
party in the street ‘til the cops come
who cares if they catchin’ with us in the long run?
excuse me if i’m on one, pardon my demeanour
but i got a life to live before it starts to lose its meanin’ because we are
[chorus]
we are the youth, these are our stories
c’mon and sing it loud, we will be heard!
we are the youth, these are our stories
c’mon and sing it loud, we will be heard!
[hook]
“turn up the mics, let me speak to them”
“turn up the mics, let me speak to them”
“turn up the mics, let me~turn up the mics, let me” (uh)
“turn up the mics, let me speak to them”
[verse 2]
they’re makin’ up the rules and playin’ us like fools
in the process, no wonder why you so stressed
burnin’ the candle at both ends tryna progress
with a car full o’ kids, singin’, “daddy, are we home yet?”
you either fightin’ for a slice o’ somethin’ you won’t get
or fightin’ for somethin’ that you just don’t get
we all fightin’ for less, under the pretence
if it don’t make dollars, it don’t make sense
sh~t, i’d love to be rich, who wouldn’t
you’re kiddin’ if you say you wouldn’t
they let us run around with our heads in the sand ‘til we’re through
lookin’ for gold ‘cause the world’s cold, even for the do~gooders
so i raise h~ll, no heaven for a saint either
you pray for a different image, but follow the same leader
k!llin’ independent thoughts, straight either
like it or not, but when we die, we all get the same freedom
never understood hate based on race
gender, age, or whether somebody’s gay or straight either
i hate everyone the same, f~ck you very much
close the door, turn the music up, that’s the spot
[chorus]
we are the youth, these are our stories
c’mon and sing it loud, we will be heard!
we are the youth, these are our stories
c’mon and sing it loud, we will be heard!
[hook]
put ‘em up, put ‘em up, put ‘em up
“turn up the mics” put ‘em up, put ‘em up “let me speak to them”
put ‘em up, put ‘em up, put ‘em up
“turn up the mics” put ‘em up, put ‘em up
[verse 3]
run, run, run, don’t let ‘em catch you
don’t stand up straight just ‘cause they told you, you have to
pride is perspective, don’t let ‘em trap you
in all o’ the bullsh~t that you’re s’posed to adapt to
i tend to run out o’ energy for the pleasantries
i ain’t tryna work for someone else ‘til i’m seventy
i’m tryna get a piece, don’t want no one to share with me
i want my own and to get it, i bare my t~~th
i’m in the thick of it
forgiveness is a pot o’ gold at the end of a rainbow o’ bitterness
administer the serum, get a hit o’ this
van gogh on ‘is deathbed couldn’t ill~strate how ill it is
look at the conditions that the kid has been livin’ in
just thank god he grew disciplined
i’m far from innocent or a clean cut citizen
but he know right from wrong, so what the f~ck is the difference?
i don’t see what the fuss is ‘bout, i ain’t see the significance
you approach life passive, me? i’m more militant
see? i don’t have the degrees or certificates
but you learn the most out o’ life by livin’ it
i treat mine like a song and i’m mixin’ it
tryna turn up opportunity, turn down the ignorance
so if you need me, i’ma be with my mistresses
with a smile on my face, livin’ limitless, this is us
[chorus]
we are the youth, these are our stories
c’mon and sing it loud, we will be heard!
we are the youth, these are our stories
c’mon and sing it loud, we will be heard!
[hook]
“turn up the mics, let me speak to them”
“turn up the mics, let me speak to them”
“turn up the mics, let me~turn up the mics, let me”
“turn up the mics, let me speak to them”
[outro]
“turn up the mics~
~let me speak to them”
