ABOUT:

When all the protests were happening, I spent a lot if time trying to process everything that I was feeling. I noticed that I always make songs from my point of view. It is the artist’s job to reflect the times that they live in. I knew that was something I always wanted to do, but I had to grow into that role. 

This song is me looking at what’s happening and what I’d tell the people protesting. I had to look outside of myself at what’s going on and how people are being affected. Hearing people’s fears, anxieties, and watching everything happening on TV really helped me write the song. I hope that it can be an anthem for my people as they’re fighting for a better America.

LYRICS:

There’s already so much pain 
So much pain 
So much pain 
There’s already so much pain 

And there ain’t nothin else we can do 

There’s already so much pain 
So much pain 
So much pain 
There’s already so much pain 

And there ain’t nothin else we can do 

They got tanks coming through right here 
Through right here 
Through right here 
They got tanks coming through right here 

And there ain’t nothin else we can do 

They got tanks coming through right here 
Through right here 
Through right here 
They got tanks coming through right here 

And there ain’t nothin else we can do 

But to fight 
Nothin to do but fight 
Stand up to fight 
It’s your moral right 
To stand against divide 

Starin officers in the face 
Sprayed with mace 
For no reason 
Seein dead bodies in the street 

And there ain’t nothin else we can do 

There aint no other way to talk 
Way to shout out and be heard 
The only way we can end this all 
Is act on just one word and that’s to 
Fight 

Nothin to do but fight 
Stand up to fight 
It’s your moral right 
To stand against divide 

We’re done bein pressed under your neck 
Hangin on your rope 
Livin in your time capsule 
We spent too much time like this 

And there ain’t nothin else we can do 

We’ve already been disgraced 
Beaten and raped and slapped in the face 
Nows the time to take everything back 

Cause there ain’t nothin else we can do now 
But to fight 

Even If it takes all you have 
Just fight 
We’ve been down for too long 
And it’s time 
For revolution
