Justified by Hate

[Verse 1]
They built their rules on fear and flames
Wrapped their hatred up in holy names
Taught us difference was a sin
Then closed the door and locked us in
They blamed the skin, the flag, the faith
Used old excuses, sharpened with rage
They drew their lines in black and white
Then told the grey to stay out of sight

[Pre-Chorus]
But truth don’t kneel to stained decree
And we won’t die so they feel free

[Chorus]
Don’t call it justice when it’s a cage
Don’t call it order when it’s just rage
They try to kill what they can’t relate
And call it “right”—justified by hate
But we won’t break, we won’t obey
We were born to tear down yesterday
We won’t be quiet, won’t be tame
We’ll set the fire and name their shame

[Verse 2]
They taught us silence was polite
To bite our tongues, to dim our light
But they don’t get to tell our story
While standing on the ones before me
They raised walls around our pain
Then preached peace while fueling flames
This isn’t fate — this is design
Built on the backs they left behind

[Pre-Chorus]
We’re not your pawns, not your parade
We’re what survives when you betray

[Chorus]
Don’t call it justice when it’s a cage
Don’t call it order when it’s just rage
They try to kill what they can’t relate
And call it “right”—justified by hate
But we won’t break, we won’t obey
We were born to tear down yesterday
We won’t be quiet, won’t be tame
We’ll set the fire and name their shame

[Bridge]
This is for the voices crushed
For every dream they turned to dust
But we are still here — loud and clear
No more hiding. No more fear.

[Final Chorus]
Don’t call it peace while pulling guns
Don’t sell me lies dressed up as love
We see the cracks, we know it’s fake
Your throne was built on all you break
So take your rules, your crooked claim —
We’ll rise above and light the flame
We won’t be silent, won’t be tame
We are the storm — remember our name
