Lyrics: James Ivy Richardson II/Anthony Hamilton/Torrey Torae Richardson Music: James Ivy Richardson II/Sir Willliam Baptist/Terry Hunter No Words… No Words…   Huh… Huh…   Hey… Hey…   We walked through the door of no return Returned with a story to tell Survival tales of the hell we rebelled against The crosses we were nailed against Heavy is the head that wears the crown Hence the mean mug And the scrowl The shoulder shrug The tough love No peace in the wild Here the weak aren’t allowed We trying to make our mamas proud Trying to make the ancestors smile down Look up Beat down We stood up God bless the child Still hurting But we better now We broke them chains Try and catch us now Fam, stand your ground Do you know what we had to go through Just to stand on these grounds…   No words We fine We fly We good We love what we see What we see What we see What we see We know what we did it for What we did it for…   No words We fine We fly We good We love what we see What we see What we see What we see We know what we did it for What we did it for…   This poem here is for my daddy’s tears My mama’s cheers For forty years Those kids they called crazy amazed the masses House Music is massive Just one example of the genius we produce as more and more time passes We’ve been reminded of our purpose in every passage Every classic How did we get this far after the middle passage The design wasn’t meant for us to survive Block by block Every family knows someone who sacrificed their lives Hollow hands stretch out to the sky Rain clouds tell us, “Please don’t cry,” They say, “It’s go be aight,” The angels know your name Our guardians light the way The poets write the way We rolling We rocking We put our soul into every document We followed our dreams When the whole world said do the opposite Our habit is magic We breathe life when we speak Manifest kingdoms from the ideas we think Knowing the healing that will come If the light inside can be reached…   No words We fine We fly We good We love what we see What we see What we see What we see We know what we did it for What we did it for…   No words We fine We fly We good We love what we see What we see What we see What we see We know what we did it for What we did it for…   We We are the descendants of survivors Who dared to dance in the rain And say, “Look at me shine…”   We fine We fly We good Shine…   We fine We fly We good Shine…   We fine We fly We good Shine…   We fine We fly We good Shine…   We good We good We good Shine…   Shine Shine Shine your light Shine You got to shine your light Shine Shine your light Shine Go ‘head and shine your light Shine Shine Shine your light Shine You better shine your light Shine Shine your light Shine You got to shine your light Shine…   Man listen (Shine) You better go ‘head and shine your light (Shine) Live your life Like all you got is tonight Yeah Shine your light Shine…   No words We fine We fly We good We love what we see What we see What we see What we see We know what we did it for What we did it for…   No words We fine We fly We good We love what we see What we see What we see What we see We know what we did it for What we did it for…
We We are the descendants of survivors Survivors Survivors…
