We Survived


They told us to go back 'cause we weren't the same,

They acted like we were the ones to blame,

We forged our our own destinies,

We stuck to our personalities.

 

They tried to make us stick to this line,

They forced forced our hand this time,

We didn't get mad, we got smart.

We were the ones who would start.

 

We were different and that was the crime,

We did the crime now we do the time,

We will not live but we will thrive,

We are the ones that survived.

 

And now we are united as one,

The smart and the dumb,

And now we can't be torn down,

We are safe and sound.

 

We Survived.
