lyrics

"Let's Make It Happen" (Baltimore #Song4Unity)
c. 2016

Turned the TV on the other day (QueenEarth)
Saw that my city was up in flames (Ria Lillie)
Cars burn, glass shattered, police on the street (Woody Lissauer)
Tell me how did it get this way? (Brooks Long)

Black and white and green divide us (Aileen Sabira)
Neighborhoods are turning into war zones (SONiA)
Feels like my city’s pacing it’s own cage (Andrew Walen)
We’re not even safe in our own homes (Janice B.)

Brothers dying, Mothers crying
Stop the violence, End the silence NOW

CHORUS
Let’s make it better, Stand up today
Let’s make it happen, There is a way
We can unite our hearts with love

Helpless, homeless without love inside (Teporah)
People all around us living in pain (Mosno Al-Moseeki)
Everyone's talking no one’s listening (Deborah "Spice" Kleinmann)
No more asking, time to be the change (Sahffi Lynne)

Bullets flying
Leaders lying
Stop the violence
End the silence NOW

CHORUS

RAP (Jamaal "Black Root" Collier):
We gotta stand up, fight for our community
Gotta do it together because it takes you and me
Each one, teach one, speak for actions fluently
Me and you united, yeah, that’s unity
It doesn’t matter that the fight is long
Everybody build to make everyone strong
We gotta do it together, we gotta stand tall
We gotta work for better, and we’ll never fall

Hunger burning
People hurting
Stop the violence
End the silence NOW

CHORUS
