Black reparations
Hiphop, r&b, lo-fi, pianoLyrics
[INTRO]
In a world where silence speaks,
Voices cry for justice,
We rise, we stand,
For the lives that were lost,
For the chains we unhand.
[VERSE 1]
Generations we’ve carried the weight,
Dreams deferred, we’re breaking the fate.
From the shadows of history’s pain,
We reclaim our story, not in vain.
Echoes of ancestors linger on,
In the rhythm of struggle, we are strong.
With every heartbeat, a chance to ignite,
To demand what is ours, to take back the night.
[CHORUS]
Reparations, it's time to heal,
Truth and justice, let’s make it real.
From the ashes, we will arise,
With dignity, we claim our prize.
Reparations, a bridge to the past,
For a future where love can last.
[VERSE 2]
The scars we bear tell tales untold,
Of dreams destroyed, of spirits bold.
From streets paved with sorrow and grief,
We rise up together, seeking relief.
No more shadows, no more shame,
In the light of unity, we’ll reclaim our name.
A promise to build, a promise to share,
A legacy of hope, we’ll rise from despair.
[CHORUS]
Reparations, it's time to heal,
Truth and justice, let’s make it real.
From the ashes, we will arise,
With dignity, we claim our prize.
Reparations, a bridge to the past,
For a future where love can last.
[BRIDGE]
It’s a cycle we’re breaking, an anthem we sing,
With our voices united, we’ll change everything.
Hear the drums of the future, they beat in our hearts,
With every step forward, we’re playing our parts.
Demanding what’s right, a legacy earned,
In the fire of our passion, the world will be turned.
[CHORUS]
Reparations, it's time to heal,
Truth and justice, let’s make it real.
From the ashes, we will arise,
With dignity, we claim our prize.
Reparations, a bridge to the past,
For a future where love can last.
[OUTRO]
So here we stand, unyielding and proud,
Voices raised high, together, so loud
