Contention

This is a fight, broken bottles, bloody walls

There was a time when a fist could solve it

But those days are gone along with many murdered lives

Hey, contention

Hey, it's killing us

This is a war, complete with a body count

This ain't the past, this ain't the future, this is now

When will we stand up and refuse to be put down?

Hey, contention

Hey, it's killing us
