Alan Z and Jason Chu - Malcolm and Yuri (feat. Wise Bexley & MC Tingbudong)

It's gon' take all of us
All of us

It's time to stand together unify, U-N-I-T-Y
If you're coming to divide us move aside
We're tired of being crucified
Three-fifths of a human? Who let you decide?
For you and I, in a system that oppressed us
From when we were immigrants
Treat us like perpetual foreigners, 2nd-class citizens
Yeah, the same system that's killing us
They burnt down Black Wall Street
Cause they ain't really want to deal with us
Put our communities right next to the trap
They only gave us crumbs
And left us to fight for the scraps
Justice for George Floyd
Justice for Vincent Chin
Free the wrongfully accused black men stuck in the penn
And we won't stop till you get your media spots
United we stand, divided we fall, we all we got
I got your back
I got your six
We're in for the longest fight
The issue ain't Black and White,
It's about wrong and right

Black, brown, yellow hue
Immigrants and natives in the red, white, and blue
Coat-check the ego, it's bigger than me and you
See the bigger picture, get a view
Want change? This the way to move

This for all of us, it's gon take all of us
A better future ain't far from us
But it's gon take all of us
To be like Malcolm and Yuri, yea

Allies not enemies we're part of the same fight
Asians came in the country assisted by Civil Rights
Panthers and the Red Book, Robeson and 起来 (uprising)
Capitalism keeps us up the same night
Not white so they hit us with the red lines
Couldn't be out of our neighborhoods after bedtimes
Model minority myths and the war on drugs
Got our communities split, but the war's on us
You and I
Unified
What we need
Community
我和你 (me and you)
在一起 (together)
为了世界革命 (revolution for the world)
Studied the lessons of Grace Lee Boggs
How to add oil when the movement stalls
We started something last summer
We got a world to win time for revolution did the math and crunched the numbers
They erase our history, we gotta lock in
Move with the spirits the spirits of Yuri and Malcolm
为了我 为了你 (for me, for you)
为了我们权利 (for our shared power)
为了我们自由 (for our freedom)
团起在一起 (unite together)
I need you
You need me
If we gon get free
Fighting for revolution
Malcolm and Yuri

This for all of us, it's gon take all of us
A better future ain't far from us
But it's gon take all of us
To be like Malcolm and Yuri, yea
