I don't know how it happened but we lost our values, nation/
Said 'bye' to love and gave fear a 'salutations/
Tensions risin' along with price inflation/
But the bigotry's hidin'; not outright and blatant/
'Isolation' is the new type of hatin'/
Whites move to where there's only White's adjacent/
It's quite amazin' we still do this here/
So many lives we're wastin on clueless fear/
We thing civil rights erases the past centuries/
Still mice in mazes; we're trapped mentally/
From CEO's and skies they're scrapin' to the villages/
Let's unite the nation; it's time to build a bridge/

HOOK:
We are all just people
So why do we hate?
Why is there such evil
All around this place?
Fighting with our brothers
Aint the way to live
To connect with each other
We must build a bridge

I know you're confused if it's confoundin' me/
So let me paint a picture of these new boundaries/
You 'bout to see some brutality/
Ghetto kids still gettin' screwed outta cheese/
The ruling is: schooling is useless fluff/
Meant to cushion 'em from doin' this stupid stuff/
Now they start cutback; not enough staff wantin' to teach/
If you got a bus pass, just tuck that under your seat/
And the rich kids would flip lids if they lost funding/
But even at '6 figs' it is bound to cost something/
There's no 'free lunch'; you'll see once you make it to college/
Can't build a house unless the foundation is solid/
And right now, the foundation's crumbling/
Lady Liberty, once full of grace, is stumbling/
And the only way to overcome the strife we're facin'/
Is to join hands and unite the nation/

HOOK:
We are all just people
So why do we hate?
Why is there such evil
All around this place?
Fighting with our brothers
Aint the way to live
To connect with each other
We must build a bridge

You heard it from me; if we nurture the tree/
It'll grow to a height we deserve it to be/
If we could erase the past and take it back/
We'd do that, but it's time to face the facts/
We cant. Our forefathers' acts are etched in stone/
And it jsut keeps repeating like a metronome/
It's been left alone for years so it's time to adress it/
They silenced my peers so I'ma express it/
We can't just leave the past but it'll go from worse to better/
We got the potential to bring the Earth together/
'Cause we got a man of the people; not some boring, bland leader/
And under him, we'll reform Pangea/

HOOK:
We are all just people
So why do we hate?
Why is there such evil
All around this place?
Fighting with our brothers
Aint the way to live
To connect with each other
We must build a bridge
