Break free
We sing it with our hands up in the air
Freedom
Break free
Sing it to the land on which we walk
Freedom
Break free
Sing it to the people who've lost hope
Free them

We sing it with our hands held high
We exist for this resistance, with our flags held high
Tipping points are behind us, we watching the tides rise
Drawn to divide and conquer we're reaching across line

I'm searching for a sign that it's not too late
That everything that I've fought for is not in vain
There's one letter in my name for every year that I’ve sacrificed
Good kid in a mad world

Fire in the eyes of young boy
Watching the world up in flames
Fall away, tears running like rivers towards the ocean
Trying to speak my truth but I'm choking
Passing me the torch, I was born into a world already broken
My brothers losing hope and I'm still hoping
He can see his silence inspired the world and set movements in motion
No matter the adversity we face
The greater the challenge the higher we'll rise to fight for change
And you don't even need a microphone to lead the nation
Giving up's not an option but nobody said this struggle would be painless
It's never been easy
We need the dark to see the stars
The sun matters the most when it's stops raining
It's written on our banners and our walls, break free
The weight of the world's not enough to break me
The breaking down of this system's what it takes to reach break through
You can't let the pain of this sinister world break you

Chorus:
Follow me, follow me, I'm following the horizon
Light in the fire, we finding the way we rising
Higher and higher we riding the wave through the night
And turning the tide we got in the way rising

Break free

'92 Mama's vision at the torch
Give the power to the youth
We're not silent anymore
We plant the seeds, we lit the spark
Now we watch the movement grow
Youth are taking back the power around the globe

Break free
Change the system now, set my people free
Break free
Marching out of schools, taking to the streets
Break free
Our generation going down in history
We carrying the legacy we breaking free, breaking free

Break free
The process I’m becoming that I've undergone
Break free
Swept under the currents I been running from
18 cycles around the sun but it's not enough
I'm still making sacrifices, learning lessons, growing up
Premonitions of the end, expeditions, searching other planets for answers because we're all afraid of looking within
I wipe away my past, trauma of my history
My ancestors walk with me, delivering my legacy

I will remember where I come from and who I am
I am Indigenous, my blood is spilled on the sand
They try to steal my language, to erase my past, couldn't strip me of my culture
It became my path
Mexica [?]

Don't let it break you, because breakdowns lead to breakthroughs
Following, following, we following the horizon
We lighting the fire, we finding a way, we rising
Higher and higher
We riding the wave through the night and turning the tide
We got in the way
Now is the time

Break free
Hands up for the world we changing
Break free
Hands up for this movement in the making
Break free
There is no better time to be alive
I can see the vision, watch my people rise
People rise

Rappers ain't the only ones to chase paper
Politicians play the role of leading but leaderships is at an all time low
Follow the dollar, rigged elections and phony bills
Executive orders reinforcing borders while oil spills
Crisis across the nation, real issues drowned by entertainment
He don’t stand for the people
His whole agenda is soaked in hatred

Putting these stories in my verse is how I doc*ment it
Fearing for my family 'cause my father is undoc*mented
We haven't seen an end to the oppression and violence
Rubber bullets metal shrapnel followed by silence
Meant to protect the people now police turned militant
The citizens resisting this incident are innocent
Shutting down prayer camps and cancelling the climate negotiations, nothing is changing
I’m sick of being patient
I'm sick of you and your complacence
The time we're wasting with money chasing
Now there's poison in the water basin
Blood on the concrete, cops takin' black lives
Someone's father, someone son, more than just a black life
My flags hung upside down, democracy is threatened
The youth are crying for help but still they fail to listen
Fires on the mountain, rising of the seas
My people sick of oppression so we takin' to the streets
The power of the people’s more powerful than people in power
Faced with the end, with our lives and legacy on the line
You're telling time there's no time deciding our own fate
I believe this can be our finest hour

The power of the people’s more powerful than people in power
I believe this can be our finest hour

The power of the people’s more powerful than people in power Break free
I believe this can be our finest hour

Following, following, we following the horizon
We lighting the fire, we finding a way, we rising
Higher and higher
We riding the wave through the night and turning the tide
We got in the way
Now is the time

Break free
Hands up for the world we changing
Break free
Hands up for this movement in the making
Break free
There is no better time to be alive
Break free
I see the signs, now is the time

Chorus:
Following, following, we following the horizon
We lighting the fire, we finding a way, we rising
Higher and higher
We riding the wave through the night and turning the tide
We got in the way
Now is the time

Following, following, (I can see my people rise, people rise)
We following the horizon
We lighting the fire, we finding a way, we rising
I can see my people rise
The power of the people’s more powerful than people in power
Break free
I believe this can be our finest hour
