Defiant Streets

[Intro] Midnight streets, sirens yawl, I lace my boots of grit Brick-by-brick my heart roars loud, I won’t submit [Verse 1] Eyes on the wall that’s closing in, but I breathe like a drum Feet marching through the smoke and ash, I won’t bow or beg, I’ll run Hands up to the sky, chalked lines of courage etched in grime We rise from the gutter whispers, louder every time [Chorus] We break the chain, we roar the street We claim the night, refuse defeat Hands to the dawn, we push and fight Collective fire, our inner light [Verse 2] Graffiti prayers on concrete walls whisper of a better dawn We trade in fear for voice and force, together we carry on Masks of doubt stripped away by truth that won’t be swayed From alleyways to the courthouse steps, the barricades are made [Chorus] We break the chain, we roar the street We claim the night, refuse defeat Hands to the dawn, we push and fight Collective fire, our inner light [Bridge] No godsave, no savior, we own the call From crowded breaths to breaking ballads in the hall If one of us falls, another takes the stand We build our freedom with every beating hand [Chorus] We break the chain, we roar the street We claim the night, refuse defeat Hands to the dawn, we push and fight Collective fire, our inner light [Outro] Till freedom signs replace the iron tongue of fear We march, we rise, we stand, we clear Our streets, our names, our fate in sight Defiant hearts ignite the fight
