[Verse 1]
Grown men killing babies
Who am I to say, you can make them nameless
Another hashtag today, yeah
Why should we care of that lady from somewhere, a far place
A covered face, tell me this
[Pre-Chorus]
Why are we back in the past?
It's the same script, different cast
All of these alternative facts
Catch me outside, how about that?
Why is it so hard to keep hope?
Who got that popular vote?
Was the whole thing just a joke?
Was the whole thing just one big joke?
[Chorus]
It's a fucked up world (yes it is)
Here we are in it
I ain't going nowhere
Til' we're finished
It's a fucked up world
Here we are in it
I ain't going nowhere
Til' we're finished
[Verse 2]
Drivin' me insane
We play a good game
Baby we still can't win
Let's cover the surface
Try to be perfect
But look at the president
Hurting me inside
Cause it feels like we walk a million miles
Losing momentum, losing, you win some
You better get it out now
[Chorus]
It's a fucked up world (yes it is)
Here we are in it
I ain't going nowhere
Til' we're finished
It's a fucked up world
Here we are in it
I ain't going nowhere
Til' we're finished
[Bridge]
Build a wall
It will keep us from loving each other
Rewrite the laws
It won't keep us from loving each other
Build a wall (Build a wall)
It will keep us from loving each other (never gonna build a wall)

[Outro: Whispered]
Resist, resist, resist
Resist, resist, resist
Resist, resist, resist
Resist, resist, resist

No, in an interview with NBC, Jussie has expressed that the song is not intended to be a single in any way, shape or form, and has no relation to his hit show Empire:
This is not a single. It’s not a song to promote the series. It’s an artistic expression. My view of this sick cycle, an era in whic...
In an interview with the Associated press, Jussie explained the meaning behind the song and its message and why it was released:
This song is for the oppressed. That’s why I feel like people will connect with it because it is very broad, because oppression is so broad. We had written so many other...
