It was us against the world
We were cast aside, left with no choice
It was us against the world
Through this movement we found our voice
Us against the world
That's how it was, how it is, it never stops
Us against the world
To make a mark and be heard, you fight your way to the top
We fought against society
But where we battled was in these streets
We fought for identity
We fought the law while you were asleep
We fought them all, the real enemies
But there's more to the story
It wasn't just about me or being free
You see
We fought to survive - we fought back
From the oppression of our own lives
We fight against what's wrong
Because it's us against the world
All the struggle became our might
Some we lost or got locked up despite all the efforts to be free
One of those people could have been me
We fought them all, the real enemies, no fantasy
You think you know us, but there's so much more you haven't seen
So listen up
We fought to survive - we fought back
From the oppression of our own lives
We fight against what's wrong
Because it's us against the world
We fight to live our lives, we fight back
To live the way we want and strive
We fight against what's wrong
Because it's us against the world
Us against the world
