Lyrics
[verse]
Turn on the radio, they're calling it a threat
A kid from the wrong side saying things you won't forget
I got the suburbs listening next to the projects too
Same words hitting different, depending on the view of you
They wanna ban the station, wanna burn the tape
But the kids already learned it, already found the shape
Of a voice that says what's honest even when it stings
Funny how a mirror always shatters everything
[chorus]
Look what you made, a voice you can't erase
Every generation finds a different face
Look what you made, echoing in every home
You can't un-ring a bell once the truth has grown
[verse]
Senators on television, calling for a ban
Meanwhile every kid at home already understands
More than the politicians think they ever could
Reading between the static like they always knew they should
I ain't the first to shake a system built on keeping still
I won't be the last to test a nation's iron will
So go ahead and burn the records, go ahead and try
The message already traveled faster than the lie
[chorus]
Look what you made, a voice you can't erase
Every generation finds a different face
Look what you made, echoing in every home
You can't un-ring a bell once the truth has grown
[bridge]
Every generation gets the voice that it deserves
Every silence broken shakes a system to its nerves
You can turn the volume down but you can't turn off the light
Once it's in their headphones, it's already taken flight
[chorus]
Look what you made, a voice you can't erase
Every generation finds a different face
Look what you made, echoing in every home
You can't un-ring a bell once the truth has grown
