Serve & Protect

Serve us, don't beat us down
Protect us from you, it's your town
How do they sit so high?
You seem so confused, so am I

How could you smile at a time like this?
Well, you look like a punk, you're afraid and you're pissed
And I know this is hard but you see that you keep people down
Like the names that we put in the ground
No batons and no arms and no cause for alarm
I see only one reason my people were harmed
Fear got your soul on one knee

Never seen it before, we won't take anymore
March around the world with the 'Rona aboard
The color-blind people get together in the streets
Our unity is needed for progress and peace
Now this may look frightening and it may look like rioting
Our oneness is power, they try and kill quick
What do we do now? Election day's fixed
Protection and Service is making us sick

Serve us, don't beat us down
Protect us from you, it's your town
How do they sit so high?
You seem so confused, so am I

Yeah, it scares me to see Police Military
When the war's all around for the freedom we've found
How could we back from this opportunity?
When you're acting in hatred, your malice will drown
When the city's asleep, wake 'em up with the beat
Let them know that the fight could be ours for tonight
Together our voice is a sword made of light
I don't care who was wrong, but we'll show them who's right

Serve us, don't beat us down
Protect us from you, it's your town
How do they sit so high?
You seem so confused, so am I

Serve us, don't beat us down
Protect us from you, it's your town
How do they sit so high?
You seem so confused, so am I

Retrieve in a lonely high
Break down walls we've built over time
Let the flow let you know you're alive
We'll meet soul to soul, eye to eye

Serve us, don't beat us down
Protect us from you, it's your town
How do they sit so high?
You seem so confused, so am I
