This is a fight
Broken bottles, bloody walls
There was a time when a fist could solve it all
But those days are gone along with many murdered lives
Hey, contention
Hey, it's killing us
This is a war
Complete with a body count
This ain't the past, this ain't the future, this is now
When will we stand up and refuse to be put down?
Hey, contention
Hey, it's killing us
