INTRO - [CHOIR LEAD IN 8 BARS ] VERSE 1 – [HIP HOP] Loud nation living, most people stay quiet Screens sell division, real hearts don’t buy it We fight in headlines, heal in the kitchen Truth never trends, so it slips the system Different flags hanging over our doors Same worn soles on the same hard floors Most fights ain’t hate, they hunger and fear Same reason breathing, different way here Noise makes us pick a side to defend Life makes us pray that the week might bend We wear our past like it’s stitched in our name Different starts, but identical pain We speak in beliefs but we bleed the same Love and protection is how we were trained Before right or wrong got a voice or a song We just tried surviving this long PRE-CHORUS When the noise steps back You can hear it clear Every voice shaking From the same old fear Strip the words down slow Let the truth appear Under every shout Is a heart right here CHORUS – [SOULFUL] Different roads, same reason we walk Same hope keeping tired hearts awake Different words, same prayers in the dark Same love for the ones that we save Under the noise, under all that talk Truth don’t need a face or name We ain’t strangers underneath it all Just taught different frames VERSE 2 – [HIP HOP] Nobody chose the pain that raised them Nobody chose the rules that shaped them Faith or fists or staying small Every belief built a wall Some learned trust from a church or book Some learned fast from the looks they took We don’t argue from evil or spite We argue from wounds not healed right Different streets taught different math What to keep, what to give, what lasts Survival don’t speak one tongue Same old story, different lungs We protect what we learned to defend We reflect what we never forget Peel it back, get close, you’ll find The same fear in every mind PRE-CHORUS 2 Listen long, the anger breaks Every shout got fear in shape Armor off, no role to play Same heartbeat under rage Lay the labels on the ground Let the silence make a sound What we are is showing plain Different lives, same pain CHORUS – [FULL] Different roads, same reason we walk Same hope keeping tired hearts awake Different words, same prayers in the dark Same love for the ones that we save Under the noise, under all that talk Truth don’t need a face or name We ain’t strangers underneath it all Just taught different frames BRIDGE – [HALF TIME] Before the labels Before the lines Before the numbers Or the sides Hands reaching out Trying belong Trying feel safe Trying stay strong FINAL CHORUS –[CHOIR] Different roads, same reason we walk Same breath when we pray at night Different skin, same tears when it’s over Same love when we get it right Turn the noise down, hear what’s true From the start, from me and you Different stories, one human heart We were never far apart Same fear, same hope, same breath Same fight to matter here Strip it back, we still remain Just people living the same year OUTRO When the noise fades We still here Same people Same breath
