There’s been many battles won towards our equality

But the question still in question is “to what degree?”

We’ve fought for so long, to justify her good name

But I’ve seen the clouds clear and we’re still not the same

So look at the time; I’m getting tired of hate

‘Cause I wake up every morning, to this unchanging rate

To look around now and see we’re all still insane

All that we put in, I fear it’s all been in vain

Are you fighting for a reason or are you fighting a friend?

‘Cause you’re fighting a mirror; you know we’re all equal in the end

You can’t say who I am; no you ain’t got the right

And what you say just shows me that you’re not worth the fight

And before we fight our wars we got a battle within

You can’t sell your soul when you’ve got none to begin

It’s obvious that we’re people so let’s get this straight

Stop discrimination! Stop the hate!

We never meant to destroy; we just meant to create

A country with equality in our mental state

So if I made a judgment based on race or religion

Are you still proud of the nation that you’re living in?

I’ll try to be an optimist but that’s not too bright

To ignore all the facts, just to sleep through the night

We all made promises that haven’t gone as planned

Ironically, promises and lies go hand in hand

Are you fighting for a reason or are you fighting a friend?

‘Cause you’re fighting a mirror; you know we’re all equal in the end

You can’t say who I am; no you ain’t got the right

And what you say just shows me that you’re not worth the fight

And before we fight our wars we got a battle within

You can’t sell your soul when you’ve got none to begin

It’s obvious that we’re people so let’s get this straight

Stop discrimination! Stop the hate!
