Barricades Arise: Vocals & Composition by NomiS (@NomisHipHop)
Verse 1:
Have Faith/
The colors of the worlds are changing/
Another day we're pained and angry/
We were pushed to the ledge we're hanging from/
But I know that a change gon' come/
Have faith. Collectively mobilize/
We'll correct and expose their lies/
If we combine and connect, I know we'll rise/
And I know that a change gon' come/
Have faith. Abide in the mass Untouchables/
Love the wretched like one Huxtable/
They've lighted a gas combustible/
So I know that a change gon' come/
Have faith. The colors of the world are changing/
Another day we're pained and angry/
We were pushed to the ledge we're hanging from/
But I know that a change gon' come/
Red, the blood of angry men/
Black, the dark of ages past/
Red, a world about to dawn/
Black, the night that ends at last/
Verse 2:
Lies you holler and spit/
We're done listening, until you follow and fix/
All the things that you claim wont be the same/
Change, I want more like Im 'Oliver Twist'/
Politic into your hood with more lies/
Act like their intentions are good/
And give a burden to return a debt/
To protect their Green like Bernadette/
In 'Into the Woods'/
Top dollar would the best buy for me/
If I was a girl, you'd guess mine poorly (Priceless)/
You fly over seas and do wrong/
Another Shark in/and a Jet, like a 'West Side Story'/
You've read, or you've heard, or you've seen a guy
Who pimped children, and so people demonize/
If you were a victim, its time for the world to get to know you/
Like, 'The King & I'/
The colors of the world are changing/
Another day we're pained and angry/
We were pushed to the ledge we're hanging from/
But I know that a change gon' come/
Have faith/
