Rewrite It

They got us, yeah

Got us stuck in a system

That we're about to get out of

That's word to my maker

The story was made up

How do you be sleeping?

My people need to wake up

You play with your life

Then they give you life

Or they take your life, how you gonna fight?

Not with guns and weapons

See that brother you just killed?

Can't leave his nose bleeding

He a soldier, you gonna need him

So fuck the facades and reparations (fuck it)

Won't let you design my revelation (fuck it)

You don't understand our reservation (you don't)

I won't be asleep

I wanna see us like we're kings and queens, our proclamation

My son's and daughter's procreation

Uncover your eyes, you'll see the vision

Uncover your eyes, it's just the beginning

Rewrite (rewrite)

Rewriting the whole damn history

Rewriting the things that were taught to me

You see the whole damn world

It's time for us to rewrite it (rewrite)

Rewriting, we're rewriting the whole damn history

We're rewriting the lies that were sold to me

So come on, rewrite it (rewrite it)

Rewrite, yeah rewrite it

Yeah, put some respect on my case

They should never get out

With their families just laughing

While mamas cry over caskets

It's just that real, there's no doubt

We just 'bouta wild out

So fuck your facades and reparations (fuck it)

Won't let you design my revelation (fuck it)

You don't understand our preservation

No I won't be asleep, no, no

Don't tell me how to express my pain

(Don't act like you know it)

You know it ain't fair, you couldn't handle this hell

You see all this love in the world

Maybe if you look deep inside of your soul

It will help you see the light, oh

Rewrite it (rewrite)

Rewriting the whole damn history (my story)

Rewriting the things that were taught to me

You see the whole damn world (whole damn world)

It's time for us to rewrite it (rewrite it)

Rewriting

We're rewriting the whole damn history (yeah)

We're rewriting the lies that were sold to me (to me)

So come on, rewrite it (rewrite it)

Rewrite, yeah rewrite it (yeah rewrite it)
