What If

What if we fight and skip the why
What if we fight for what we cry
What if we fight to live to breathe
What if we fight for you for me

I know how you feel right now
With no rhyme and no reason why
We get gunned down and run down and then
Left in the streets to die
Demonize the dead body what's worse
The shooter leaves on paid vacay
Then we go to bed weary and tired to see
It's just the same next day
We scream I just can't take no more
But they got rules here's how it go
Here's how loud you speak and how far you walk
But wait a minute can we talk

What if we fight and skip the why
What if we fight for what we cry
What if we fight to live to breathe
What if we fight for you for me

We can call for help and just hold the phone
Or we can smash their rules and make up our own
We can spend our money where they spit in our face
Or we can take our money back to our own place
We can ride with those who won't rock the boat
Or leverage our vote and shake up the polls
We can let them tell us we make us afraid
Or we can see the strength in how we were made

Forcefed the art they choose to promote
But every song's life or death for us
So this day we choose to uplift the ones
Who choose to uplift the rest of us

Fight and skip the why
What if we fight for what we cry
What if we fight to live to breathe
What if we fight for you for me

What if we fight and skip the why
What if we fight for what we cry
What if we fight to live to breathe
What if we fight for you for me
