its time for a changeits

its time for a change

its time to be heard

real life problems 

in teens things have gotten so absurd

the pain 

these kids experience 

every day

break the chain

stop the rain

starting to go insane

stop the violence 

Trayvon Martin,

lying on the ground lifeless

Michael Brown,

the cops

they shot him down

JUSTICE FOR BROWN AND MARTIN

AND ALL THOSE OTHER

HUNDREDS OF KIDS WHO WERE TARGETS

we can be heard,

we can show the world 

that we aren't just some black kids

they can rid

we are something

we are people 

we deserve freedom

we are here for a reason

so rise and shine

we will NOT be confined
