lyrics

Verse 1
You can’t embrace all lust
And try to fake all love
Because it’s way too tough
You can’t erase all us
Now who gave us trust?
Was it the paint or paint brush?
Or will we never know
The canvas that we're handed is chained up
Some try to leave the way up
But they go down and stay stuck
There’s evil whisperers in shadows tryna turn our brains to mush
But we bleed the same blood
And when we die we're same dust
So how could hate invade us
If we unite and brave up...bruh.

Chorus
Well they can try invade us, but my people brave up
And they can try to break us, but my people brave up
Wave, wave - because we bleed the same blood
Wave, wave - cause when we die we’re same dust.

Verse 2
Unfolding pages of the history books
Is like unraveling some mysteries it’s filled with these lies - take a look
Forgive my anger because sometimes it gets to me
I was taught not the truth so efficiently
They said we brought the fur trade
And equality for all lives
But they simply stole land and colonized through genocide
Still we bleed the same blood
And when we die we're same dust
So how could hate invade us
If we unite and brave up...bruh.

Chorus
Bridge
I used to wish upon a shooting star
But now I live my wish because the future's IN who we are
not who we long to be, i’m not a wise man preaching
i’m just a guy speaking honestly
like a foolish decision,
a fear filled heart makes the mind lose precision
so no more someday somehow....
my people brave up right now

Chorus
