The Treaty Of Change
Leave your suffering at the door
I know you're new but we've seen this all before
Just come in and forget yourself
There's everything to gain with ourselves
Take off pride, Take off integrity
This change comes down to a treaty
Sign it with your blood
Sign it just like you should
It's the witness against offender
It's oppression against defenders
We're the rebels, We defend you
They're the system, They claim what's true
Here's the proof, Now go prove it
Leave what you believe out there
Those lies can't help you in here
We rebuild what was once destroyed
We tear down their statues and what's inside
We build our own walls and free the ghetto
They hate our motives and this innuendo
But if you step inside this circle
We take you and prove your willful
It's the witness against offender
It's oppression against defenders
We're the rebels, We defend you
They're the system, They claim what's true
Here's the proof, Now go prove it
We're the outcasts that didn't give up
We were like you, Confused about which was is up
We're the castaways that didn't stop trying
We were like you, Sick of all this denying
We're the fighters that stayed in the ring
We were like you, Now we have these songs to sing
Now put your fist in the air, So there's no doubt
It's the witness against offender
It's oppression against defenders
We're the rebels, We defend you
They're the system, They claim what's true
Here's the proof, Now go prove it
I know you're new but we've seen this all before
Just come in and forget yourself
There's everything to gain with ourselves
Take off pride, Take off integrity
This change comes down to a treaty
Sign it with your blood
Sign it just like you should
It's the witness against offender
It's oppression against defenders
We're the rebels, We defend you
They're the system, They claim what's true
Here's the proof, Now go prove it
Leave what you believe out there
Those lies can't help you in here
We rebuild what was once destroyed
We tear down their statues and what's inside
We build our own walls and free the ghetto
They hate our motives and this innuendo
But if you step inside this circle
We take you and prove your willful
It's the witness against offender
It's oppression against defenders
We're the rebels, We defend you
