🎶 The Bigger Picture (Diamond Chicago Rewrite) Hook (Chant / Soul Choir) We fightin’ for the bigger picture, can’t be blind no more, Truth louder than the sirens knockin’ at our door. From the Chi to the world, we gon’ rise, we gon’ roar, We fightin’ for the bigger picture, can’t be ignored. --- Verse 1 (Truth / Street Soul) Raised in a system that don’t love our kind, Tryna cage every dream, tryna chain our mind. But we built from the ashes, we designed to climb, Turn the pain into purpose, we control the time. Every march on the block, every prayer in the night, Every tear from the mothers, every wrong to right. They profit off the struggle but we still gon’ fight, Light a torch for the fallen, keep the flame in sight. Hook We fightin’ for the bigger picture, can’t be blind no more, Truth louder than the sirens knockin’ at our door. From the Chi to the world, we gon’ rise, we gon’ roar, We fightin’ for the bigger picture, can’t be ignored. --- Verse 2 (Bounce / Drill Flow) They want chains on the wrists, they want locks on the brain, But we cuttin’ through the wires, we breakin’ the chain. From the court to the classroom, the hustle the same, Don’t fold under pressure, we remember the name. Every voice in the crowd make the anthem shake, Every word in the song make the system quake. We ain’t waitin’ for tomorrow, today’s the stake, We the storm, we the flood, we the wave that breaks. Hook We fightin’ for the bigger picture, can’t be blind no more, Truth louder than the sirens knockin’ at our door. From the Chi to the world, we gon’ rise, we gon’ roar, We fightin’ for the bigger picture, can’t be ignored. --- Verse 3 (Global / Hope Anthem) From the projects of the Chi to the streets of L.A., To the islands, to the motherland, they hear what we say. Generation after gen’, we gon’ pave this way, ’Cause the bigger picture brighter when the people pray. Lift the youth, lift the hood, let the story be known, We not slaves to the pain, this the seeds we’ve sown. Every soul got a crown, every child got a throne, Bigger picture in the mirror — we already home. Hook (Final / Choir Anthem) We fightin’ for the bigger picture, can’t be blind no more, Truth louder than the sirens knockin’ at our door. From the Chi to the world, we gon’ rise, we gon’ roar, We fightin’ for the bigger picture, can’t be ignored.
