Be Angry, Don’t Stay Hopeless

  
  

#### **(male vocal 1 – Verse 1: Storytelling & Grit)**  
Uh, picture moms in the kitchen, no food on the stove,  
Little man in the corner with a shirt full of holes.  
Daddy ain't home, he got snatched by the Feds,  
Mom cryin' on the phone, beggin' prayers to be said.  

Bullets fly where the children play,  
Another war on the block, just a different day.  
They say don’t stress, but how could I not?  
When my people still dyin' and the killers on top.  

#### **(femal vocal – Hook: Pain & Soul)**  
Ohhh, the world ain't fair, and I know,  
So much pain, still we hold on.  
They say "stay strong," but my heart feels cold,  
Be angry, don’t stay hopeless—woahhhh.  

#### **(male vocal 1 – Verse 2: Raw Emotion & Rage)**  
What?! They still puttin’ chains on my people,  
Dyin’ in the dirt, while they preachin’ ‘bout freedom?!  
Babies locked up ‘cause they ran from a war,  
While the rich sip wine, talkin' "What’s it all for?"  

Mothers screamin’, nobody hear it,  
Tears in they eyes but the world ain’t near it.  
Yo, I seen hell and it look like this,  
God, tell me why we still stuck in this?  

#### **(femal vocal – Hook: Soulful Cry)**  
Ohhh, the world ain't fair, and I know,  
So much pain, still we hold on.  
They say "stay strong," but my heart feels cold,  
Be angry, don’t stay hopeless—woahhhh.  

#### **(male vocal 2 – Verse 3: Wisdom & Reflection)**  
Past written in blood, future painted in fear,  
But history repeats 'cause they never wanna hear.  
Wars over gold, bodies float in the sea,  
Still they call us the problem, won’t let us be free.  

Sons lost to the prison, daughters lost to the game,  
Starvin' in the gutter while they toast champagne.  
Kings and queens turned ghosts in the night,  
And the truth gets buried if the money look right.  

#### **(femal vocal – Outro: Haunting Melody)**  
Noooo, no, no, no…  
Be angry, don’t stay hopeless…  
We still cry, we still die,  
And the world just walks on by…
