Oh no, not now
The gate has been broken
We’ve seen the sun already we can’t be shushed now.
Oh no, no, no
We’ve crossed the desert on foot
We’ve stepped on scorpions, serpents and we didn't fear.
We’ve walked through seas, storms and blizzards, but that didn't stop us.
We’ve eaten, breathed and slept with the living dead, so we are not afraid to die.
Oh no, no, no
We’ve cried no to oppression
We’ve cried no to absolute power
We’ve cried no to totalitarian
We’ve cried no to racial act
This is a new era; we are our own army we do not fret to your intimidation.
Oh no, no, no
Not anymore
We stand strong
We might be bruised cosmetically, but the evolution is still evolving.
No, not now
Never again
So hush your mouth!
Let us be, let our souls finally be free.
Oh no, no, no
Not at all
We shall not be shushed!
