It's all up to us.

It's all up to me.

It's all up to the students.

It's all up to the youth.

It's all up to the unemployed city workers.

It's all up to the underpaid teachers.

It's all up to the minority; black, Latino, Asian, Arabic.

It's all up to the oppressed.

It's all up to the poor.

It's all up to the segregated. 

It's all up to the discriminated.

It's all up to the welfare recipients. 

It's all up to the Medicaid families.

It's all up to the sick.

It's all up to the homeless.

It's all up to the starving.

It's all up to the millions in poverty.

It's all up to us

To change this world.

Too long have we been forced into submission.

It's time to take back our city

Our state

Our country

Our WORLD.

It's all up to us.
