Tell me are the speakers loud enough
Can you feel the bass line thumping
Is it tough enough
Tell me are my people loud enough
We can love enough
Tell me cause I need to know before I go
I don't have much time to sit and relax
While we all unwind and shit
And pay tax while we all run blind
I hear 'em scream we've had enough
But they bluff and talk a good game
The next day come and they still the same
It's like they don't even understand what I'm saying
Tell me are the speakers loud enough
Can you hear my voice cutting through the crowd enough
Can you feel the bass line thumping
Is it tough enough to break the silence and turn it into love
Tell me are my people loud enough
Is there any hope, can we wake up proud enough
To live a life of purpose, I know that we can love enough
To get going when the going gets rough
Tell me cause I need to know before I go
I don't have much time to sit and relax
While we all unwind and shit
And pay tax while we all run blind
Look where it's heading
The people scream but we're getting nowhere
We're aiding, abetting
The politicians' system
Cover the constitution
We're sleeping, we're letting them
Get away with the steady
Manipulation of policy
Look at the petty
Shitty example we're setting
While we party confetti
Falls on the unheard innocent
The sick and the sweating
But the profits we're netting
Convinces all that we're ready
To just turn it down, shut it off
Tell me are the speakers loud enough
Can you hear my voice cutting through the crowd enough
Can you feel the bass line thumping
Is it tough enough to break the silence and turn it into love
Tell me are my people loud enough
Is there any hope, can we wake up proud enough
To live a life of purpose, I know that we can love enough
To get going when the going gets rough
