Chains and Pawns

In the alleys and the neon lights,
We navigate through endless fights.
Caught in a system, we can't break free,
The chains of injustice, they weigh on me.

(Pre-Chorus)
They say we're different, but we bleed the same,
Underneath it all, we're pawns in their game.
Lost in the noise, our voices unheard,
Trapped in a story that's been altered and blurred.

(Chorus)
We're just numbers in their eyes,
Locked away, they feed us lies.
Cops and government, they hold the key,
But we're all victims of their tyranny.

(Verse 2)
They build their prisons, one by one,
Filling them up until they're overrun.
Our children's futures, they're stolen away,
By a system that thrives on our decay.

(Pre-Chorus)
But don't you see, we're all the same,
Bound by the struggle, the hurt, the pain.
They try to divide us, tear us apart,
But united we stand, with one beating heart.

(Chorus)
We're just numbers in their eyes,
Locked away, they feed us lies.
Cops and government, they hold the key,
But we're all victims of their tyranny.

(Bridge)
They preach their narrative, but it's built on deceit,
We won't be silenced, won't accept defeat.
Our voices will rise, like thunder in the sky,
For justice and freedom, we'll fight until we die.

(Chorus)
We're just numbers in their eyes,
Locked away, they feed us lies.
Cops and government, they hold the key,
But we're all victims of their tyranny.

(Outro)
So let's stand together, hand in hand,
Against the oppression, take a stand.
For we are stronger when we're united,
In the face of darkness, we'll be the lighted.
United we stand, divided we fall,
In solidarity, we'll break down the wall.
No more oppression, no more chains,
Together we'll rise, and justice will reign.

I dedicate this song to Helena Gibson, a remarkable individual who bravely navigates through difficult times, extending a hand to uplift others while also having to safeguard herself.
