What are we rebelling against?
When our young girls are taught that it is cool to be called "bitches", and "whores",
As long as they are paid with a green that take them down to the black of the ground, of their souls and lives,
When our prestige, esteem and self-respect is robbed off us,
And we are meant to forfeit the beauty of our personality and character,
And waste away on the ephemeral beauty of embellishments and glamorous fashion,
When our young girls are dropping out of school like flies,
Forfeiting their dreams, visions, hopes and aspiration,
And all they get is help to raise kids who struggle through a vicious cycle of pain and misery,
Isn't it this same "Rebel Song" that has destroyed us rather than build us,
We are at war with ourselves, and our world,
Yet we never win any victories,
Let us stop killing ourselves, rethink,
Take our destinies into our hands,
Leave a better legacy for our children and nation,
Pass on a more honorable mantle to our generation,
And create a haven of peace for us to dwell, for if we don't nobody will!
