The Pen & The Sword

I'll remind them that the pen is greater than the sword
Remind them every time, it's greater than the sword
Education we defend, it's gonna save the world
Dream it, we unite together, save the world
I'll remind them that the pen is greater than the sword
Don't stop trying, we all humans in God's eyes
Education we defend, it's gonna save the world
Save the world, save the world, insha'allah (yeah)

Education is not just some privilege or right
That every child deserves, it's God-given
That right comes under threat, it must be defended
You think Allah don't see what you're doing to his children?
Who's been held accountable? Who's in charge, mister?
These kids ain't got nothin' to do with y'all business
You should be building more schools and not prisons
They bomb us, ain't even make news in y'all city
He could've been a scholar, he dealin' with different problems
Missile hit his home and crushed and killed his baba
We should be playing soccer, or meeting up by our lockers
He wanted to be a doctor but he don't have those options

I'll remind them that the pen is greater than the sword
I'll remind them every time, it's greater than the sword
Education we defend, it's gonna save the world
I dream we're coming together to save the world
I'll remind them that the pen is greater than the sword
Don't stop trying, we all humans in God's eyes
Education we defend, it's gonna save the world
Save the world, save the world, insha'allah (yeah)

This system needs to be eradicated
The attacks on education has been activated
It's not random, it's intentional, it's calculated
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't aggravated
I ain't smiling 'cause I ain't happy
Know how many times I've prayed for peace and peace ain't happen?
Still get on my rug and pray for peace, still gotta take action
People held responsible for they actions
Until then we gotta stay active
We need change, that change needs to be data-driven
Accurate, comprehensive
And since we the victims
We deserve a voice in day-to-day decisions
And we can dig these generations out these grave conditions

I'll remind them that the pen is greater than the sword
Remind them every time, it's greater than the sword
Education we defend, it's gonna save the world
Dream it, we unite together, save the world
I'll remind them that the pen is greater than the sword
Don't stop trying, we're all humans in God's eyes
Education we defend, it's gonna save the world
Save the world, save the world, insha'allah
