Look, we break it down, down, down, down, down.

She break it down, down, down, down, down, down.

She got to message for the people, a brilliant mind and a clean soul.

She's standing up to the evil in making sure that we all grow strong enough

To break these change we're in

They keep us in this painful condition

She gave us truth and division
