The Social (feat. Phoenix Pagliacci)

Yeah

Yo

We stood with Standing Rock before it had a name

To erase the identity, all the names were changed

It don't matter where you are

Or where you stand

The fact remains that

This is still Native land

The tragedies are listed in history

How justice still hasn't been served remains a mystery

Blood flows from the schools to the slaughter

To the missing and murdered mothers and daughters

The war club was handed down

For centuries

It had a purpose we'll fulfill that eventually

But now, instead of violence and casualties

I slay injustice with my mic ever so casually

But we can't even live, we can't even heal

New day, old wound, same medicine wheel

If I tell you my pain, show you my scars

I hope you see a beaten human with a beating heart

You can cry at the (Social)

No need to hide at the (Social)

It's family ties at the (Social)

All love at the (Social)

We make it right at the (Social)

We never fight at the (Social)

Drumming all night at the (Social)

All love at the (Social)

We come to heal at the (Social)

Get in your feels at the (Social)

Speak on the real at the (Social)

All love at the (Social)

We all live in the (Social)

Tend to forgive at the (Social)

Get what you give at the

Come through to The Social

Come through to The Social

They tell me to go back where I came from

Like I can just forget where my name's from

Like my mother's mother still has her mother tongue

Like every day we ain't lose another son

They continue to sell souls

Claiming they're here to help those

Locked away in these hell holes

Only for whom the bell tolls

I guess they figure that we've had enough

I guess they never been as mad as (Waa)

Don't insult me and tell me you're colorblind

Take a look around and tell me what color you find

Which color is constantly colored in the lines

And which color's just tryna find peace of mind

You think we just cause all the problems

You tell us that we caused them so we should solve them

But when we ask for help to resolve them

They take our identities and dissolve 'em

This is my truth, you can't take from me

It's not just how I feel, it ain't make believe

Until you see the world through my black eyes

You can only speculate about our black lives

So gather round, children settle down

Time for you to talk about what is happening now

It seems what we once lost, we have now found

We got our voice back and we won't back down

This is for the fire starters, scorchers of earth

I pray when the heat is on, you don't lose your worth

To my land protectors, nature's bodyguard

I pray for your protection wherever you are

All my water warriors, biggest task at hand

I thank you for guidance and doing what you can

To my air guardians, you are why we breathe

I pray you'll always stay, I pray you'll never leave

You can cry at the (Social)

No need to hide at the (Social)

It's family ties at the (Social)

All love at the( Social)

We make it right at the (Social)

We never fight at the (Social)

Drumming all night at the (Social)

All love at the (Social)

We come to heal at the (Social)

Get in your feels at the (Social)

Speak on the real at the (Social)

All love at the (Social)

We all live in the (Social)

Tend to forgive at the (Social)

Get what you give at the

Come through to The Social

Come through to the social

I feel light, I kinda feel like

Every little thing gonna be alright

And even if I don't feel like it might be

I can't shake the optimism deep inside me

I got a feeling like the more they try to hide me

Is the more this little light's gonna shining

And if they can't put it out with the elements

I know that this is Creator's divine timing

So when we gather round, when we settle down

When we look around at what is happening now

When we see how Indigenous youth can move the crowd

Making the message loud and the ancestors proud

Being quick to defend, not quick to back down

War club at the ready but it's a different bat now

Ready to make right all of the wrongs somehow

And we goin' remember all of the songs somehow

The drum unifies black and red, family ties

The land is our mother, when she dies so do I

If it's worth having, it's definitely worth the fight

And if it's worth losing, at least we can say we tried

I ain't one for giving up, I ain't giving in

I wanna right the wrongs of the world we're living in

No matter if your Atheist, Muslim or Christian

We all want better for every single kin

No matter where you live, no matter color of skin

No matter your history, right now we begin again

If you value human life, we're on the same team

How many Martins gotta die before we reach our dream

The war cry is mothers fed up with the gang life

The war cry is fathers locked up in a cell tight

The war cry is children too young to pay the price

The war is not over, without a sacrifice

So gather round, children settle down

Tryna show you how it's gonna end somehow

Which side of justice you be on when you go

If you're at The Social, you already know

You can cry at the (Social)

No need to hide at the (Social)

It's family ties at the (Social)

All love at the (Social)

We make it right at the (Social)

We never fight at the (Social)

Drumming all night at the (Social)

All love at the (Social)

We come to heal at the (Social)

Get in your feels at the (Social)

Speak on the real at the (Social)

All love at the (Social)

We all live in the (Social)

Tend to forgive at the (Social)

Get what you give at the
