VERSE
To be in your flow of power is a radical thang
Especially when the use of power isn’t quite the same
Across the board let’s record I need more than a fraction
That’s not enough I need a chain reaction
CHORUS
Tell them who we are
Show them what we gonna do
What we gonna do (Yea)
We got the power together
What we gonna do
What we gonna do (Yea)

On a whole new grid all glittery
No limiting, to what we bring - eh!

Do You Know My Power?
01:00
|
|||
Do you know my power?
I have the power to imagine.
And I do, imagine.
I imagine what I need, and it has a lot to do with what you need.
We belong in a world where we share what we have.
Where I care for you, you care for me and we care for people we don’t even know.
Where we care for the land like we are supposed to.
A time without punishment, for real.
Where we all got space to thrive and BE who we are.
There’s a time and a place for everything.
It’s time to imagine our movement in a place of power.
I imagine you do, too.
We are that powerful.

Tommy: Yea let’s go AR Crew - where we going?
Higher - higher
Kaitlin: Let’s rise
Tommy: Let’s lift them up, Y’all ready for this
Kaitlin: Let’s do it
CHORUS
We got strength it’s in our community
We got power - that’s unity
Standing up on your shoulders
Lifting our voices higher!
We got strength it’s in our community
We got power - that’s unity
Standing up on your shoulders
Lifting our voices higher!
MAYA
I’m powerful when I’m with my community
People that accept my thoughts and ideas and see
The truth about who I am - they love all my melanin - I know that I’m confident
So watch out, I'm steppin in.
I’m with a community where I’m safe and I’m loved
I’ve also got my ancestors watching from above.
With the power that I have from my past and from my present
I know I can do anything, y’all need to accept It.
KALI
I feel powerful when people listen
Don’t ignore me cause you won’t know what you’re missin’
And if you plug your ears, I’ll write my truth down
Do whatever I can, so long as the truth’s found
Learn the truth sometimes that’s not what they teach
Right now they might not listen but you have to speak
And when they hear you teach them what’s real
Speak your mind and tell them how you feel
LILY
I know I’m powerful when I see my beauty
And from head to toe self love through and through me
I love myself every day
Can be myself every way
Don’t need to prove anything
I’m confident at my age
They say your not your past, you are in a way
Your ancestors within you, there’s someone you should thank
The power when they prayed, part of us in many ways
They had so many goals, we’ll get there one day (woo!)
CHORUS
We got strength it’s in our community
We got power - that’s unity
Standing up on your shoulders
Lifting our voices higher!
We got strength it’s in our community
We got power - that’s unity
Standing up on your shoulders
Lifting our voices higher!
KALI
Something you should know is that this is how I feel
Cause I support what’s true and what’s real
Put a break on this cycle like it’s a wheel
And we shouldn’t punish, but we should heal
TOMMY
I feel powerful when I can leave the house without a fraction of doubt
that Im’a be safe
That when I run for the bases, I won’t get tagged out
And my parents ain’t scared I won’t reach home base.
Powerful when I can be me and be free without feeling shame
Feel powerful when I can keep my self tamed
And in control power isn’t something that can be stole
But only given something inside that’s risen
KALI
I feel power when I have support
Doesn’t matter if you’re big, tall, small, or short
Strength in numbers when we’re in a community
When people connect, that’s how we find unity
CHORUS
We got strength it’s in our community
We got power - that’s unity
Standing up on your shoulders
Lifting our voices higher!
We got strength it’s in our community
We got power - that’s unity
Standing up on your shoulders
Lifting our voices higher!
OUTRO
Strength in numbers
When we’re in a community
When people connect -
That’s how we find unity.
Standing up on your shoulders
Lifting our voices higher!
Strength in numbers
When we’re in a community
When people connect -
That’s how we find unity.
Standing up on your shoulders
Lifting our voices higher!

Tell me who you see when you look at me?
What labels did you give me? Can I be free?
Can we talk? Is it fair -
I can’t ask questions without being scared?
Am I allowed to make a mistake?
Can I get a chance to explain?
Can we fix this without pain?
I wanna know
Am I already in a box?
Can you listen while I talk?
Can we move past it without blame?
Tell me

The Change Up
03:02
|
|||
VERSE
I wish the prison frame
Was built to learning about people’s internal change
And know what happening in their brains
They could be learnin’ from what they did
Or trying to get back to their family at the crib
As soon as they step on the court
They try to take a shot jury pushes them on the floor
They think the perpetrator’s all hate at the core
Because of their biases changes get ignored
If you throw us in the cell lock it - turn off the lights
Mistakes are the spark that make our ideas bright
So even if you turn off the lights
Our community will guide us through the night we know we’re left with what’s right
Why when you do something wrong it goes on to your record it’s carrying through your life and not striving to make you better
We need to be clever - our top leaders are failing us we’re exercising a system where our wrongs are trailing us
CHORUS
Who is to win
Who is to lose
Who takes the L
Who sees it through
Who gets to change
Who gets to choose - yea
Don’t get caught up in the moment
It follows you
VERSE
Systems stopping caterpillars from floating like butterflies
Stopping them from soaring before they even get to try
When a bee stings protect itself by any means necessary
Be a bee - Protect community like kingdom’s canterbury
For equity we gotta start embracing change
The way the systems working we can't let it stay the same
Its complex to try to beat the prison complex
To restore the justice it's an uncomfortable process
But to express is progress - don't stress
Because when were united we can never become pressed
People confess
We hold them accountable
And still the years that have been lost is uncountable
HOOK
Who is to win
Who is to lose
Who takes the L
Who sees it through
Who gets to change
Who gets to choose - yea
Won’t get caught up in the moment
I promise you
BRIDGE
When you take an L
Do you take a loss
Do you take the lesson
Do you pay the cost
Do you feel shame
or do you feel the sham
The plot in the shadow
The scheme in the plan
Can you see the L
As more than a loss
Can it be a lesson
Still pay the cost
Can you shed the shame
Expose the Sham
Reverse the scheme
Divert the plan
Divert the plan
Reverse the scheme
Expose the Sham
Change up the theme
Divert the plan
Reverse the scheme
Expose the Sham
Change up the theme
The Change Up

Why this whole system playing people like a game
Please take a second and explain
Why this whole system playing people like a game

Why this whole system playing people like a game
Please take a second and explain

Verse
100’s of millions in starvation
Government power should serve all people in the nation
It’s really like their minds have limitations
We have to start, stop waiting and move towards elevation
Think about how people feel
It’s crazy knowing that this treatment is real
Officers treating people like they’re immaterial
Their self entitled thoughts need to be sealed
Why are these people selfish
They’re supposed to be selfless
But they’re leaving people helpless
Problems to be dealt with
Maybe they could help with
People catchin’ false cases like it’s the flu
Stereotypes sticking to people like it’s glue
We have to think about what we’re gonna do
Open minds past biases to what’s true
Chorus
Please take a second and explain

Verse
I’m tryna be on the court ballin’
Like an MVP
I’m tryna go further than I can see
But I can’t do that if I cannot be
Free to move up and down the court
Without fear of being ejected
And my game cut short
They tryna knock me down
I’m just here to play the sport
I’m learning everyday
What I need is support
If I was in charge of our leaders I would focus
On serious problems that are really more for us
I see the need for money I agree
But it’s not for you to feed cuz your greed has a fee
We gotta bowl on a new lane
Change the frame of corruption or it will stay the same
Can’t procrastinate have to move with our brains
These issues are real we’re not just playin games
Chorus
Please take a second and explain

Restorative Justice
03:05
|

VERSE
First things first I show up ready to be in circle
Here to actively listen and be openly verbal
This type of cypher that serves like a meal
We’re here to solve problems and hopefully heal
I start by telling the group a little bit about me
I want to get to know you curiosity is mounting
We’re here to build trust so we can speak facts
A heartfelt response for the best impact, see-
PRE-CHORUS
The circle is a space to grow
Connecting us to a collective glow
Candles get lit, reflect our light
Illuminating how we’re here to do right
CHORUS
Where are we left without
Respect
A little bit of
Honesty

Restorative Justice
Where are we left without
Healing
A little bit of
Empathy
That
Restorative Justice
Where are we left without
Love
A little bit of
Courage and Care
That
Trust is there
Where are we left without
Truth
And facing it
Whenever it confronts us, without that
Ain’t no restorative just us
Spoken:
Alright y’all we came together to hear every person's side of the story so you’re up next.
VERSE 2
Pass the object, it’s my turn to speak,
To share what’s on my heart and the truth we seek
I hope they understand where I’m coming from
What harm was caused? What can be done?
We can’t move forward ‘til we take the pause
Examine all the hurt we
might have caused
When it’s your turn, can’t promise I’ll agree
But maybe there’s perspective that I did not see
PRE-CHORUS
The circle is a space to grow
Connecting us to a collective glow
Candles get lit, reflect our light
Illuminating how we’re here to do right

VERSE 3: REFLECTION
We heard each other out; we’re owning up to our parts
Healing doesn’t end here, this is a start
How we hold this defines us, as we leave and take care
We’re in this together like our ancestors’ prayer
We’re leaving here today with community tactics
And RJ is a constant and continuous practice
We restore fairness We make peace
We are community finding relief

Juneteenth
03:09
|

Chorus
Oh - yea
Do you know the story of Juneteenth
When the enslaved found out that they were free
Two years after 1863
The Emancipation Proclamation
Verse
Freedom
What does it mean to be free
Are you born with it
Is it God given
Or is there a cost to be
Free
The constitution said
We were 3/5ths human
How can it be democracy
Built on stolen land
Freedom is a right
Not a privilege - YUP
Freedom from false restriction - YUP
Skin color birthplace
Respect the ways we’re all different - YUP
Let’s take it back bout 100 years
Quick - let me paint this picture
America in a civil war
No Marvel movie, this history!
President Lincoln had a plan to end slavery only in the south
But Black folks when they heard about it started spreading that word of mouth
Picked up arms and joined the Union to fight for their own freedom
The colored troops help win the war gave that proclamation new meaning, yup - whoo
You betta believe it!
CHORUS
VERSE 2
Justice
When have we seen it and known it
Who are the ones who have grown it
Took it from notion to showin whats
Just
Let’s talk about soldiers who were free - risking their lives for
people like me
All the Kinfolk they may never know
Took a lead that we all could follow
Followin’ the call for What?
Justice -
Bigger than land it was for the enslaved
When you think about this Proclamation - the emancipation is knowing that WE were the brave
200 thousand soldiers organizing
women and children home strategizing
paper protests, learned to address
The power of truth and a culture uprising
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Can’t stop that joy
Freedom is not individual its collective
Can’t stop that joy
Freedom is not individual its collective
R-E-S-P-E-C-T
Freedom is not individual its collective
When you think about Juneteenth
remember how we freed ourselves,
How we stayed prepared.
We will prevail, cuz we tippin scales, closing all the jails and we will not fail!
You believe, You dream, You move You serve.
For those who’ve past - for our culture.
No one left behind we can be sure
We stand we rise we on that joy ride.
We stand we rise we on that joy ride.
We stand we rise we on that joy ride.
Ayyyy!
Final chorus
Now you know the story of Juneteenth
When the last enslaved knew that they were free
We led ourselves to victory
Victory
Victory!

Our Turn
02:59
|

VERSE
I’m looking around and I can’t believe
All the things that are happening
This year has really got me down
All of this injustice poverty police brutality
We can come together and turn it around
Parents want us to block it out
Focus on school it’ll all work out
Just be a kid, have fun and play
But how can we just step aside and
Ignore the pain that we feel inside
So let’s all stand up and say
CHORUS
It’s our turn
Stepping into our power
Fighting for a better future
So we can make the world the way it should be
It’s our turn
Stepping into our power
Fighting for a better future
So we can make the world the way it should be
VERSE
I’ve got a voice and I’m using it
And it’s way past time that you’re hearing it
You can find a lot when you listen up
I feel like you got that door closed
on all these things that I need to know
What’s going on please open up (What’s going on?)
All these things you downplay
And yet you say we’ll be ok
maybe you’re a little scared
Can we just feel our feelings
We’re here to create that healing
Share the space and show you care
CHORUS
It’s our turn
Stepping into our power
Fighting for a better future
So we can make the world the way it should be
It’s our turn
Stepping into our power
Fighting for a better future
So we can make the world the way it should be
BRIDGE
It starts now
Yea it’s time for change
Gonna speak up and speak out
Show them what we’re all about
We got questions but they don’t want to hear em
We got ideas but they just wanna fear em
Why you gotta shut us out?
Why not call us in?
Pass the baton
Give us a chance to win
Teach us how to stand and fight
Teach us how to reunite
When they try to knock us down
Teach us how to stand our ground!
CHORUS
It’s our turn
Stepping into our power
Fighting for a better future
So we can make the world the way it should be
It’s our turn
Stepping into our power
Fighting for a better future
So we can make the world the way it should be

Verse
You have to
Act as if it were so
Possible
To radically transform the world
Believing in it just enough every day
To keep going
Doin’ it all of the time
Doin’ it down the line
Meeting of hearts and minds where the ebs flowin
Away from the folks that can put you in a bind
Like they ain't never seen your kind
But they knowin’ (you know)
They just wanna try us all on for size
And it's no surprise
When they set us off to the side
Keep us two steppin before the electric slide
We stay warm cause don’t nobody like cold fries
Let me complace the settings it’s supper time
No left overs for later
This food for thought
Got me thinking I should whip em up a plate of
Some envy greens
Mixed in a fear salad
A privilege shake sprinkled with need to mass manage
CHORUS
We brought the love to carry on
We got the words we wrote the song
We know the truth can’t be wrong
We got the bond - it makes us strong
We can't go wrong when we’re singing that song
VERSE
See some get to apologize for the things they’ve done
Others get stopped / at risk and then some
And leaving us wondering
What could we accomplish
Who are your real folks who’s the accomplice
And really not holding our breath we got options
We got strike up we got caution
And time which can get cut short at anytime
We beat clocks illuminate ignored signs
You have to know that you’re visible in my eye
I don’t really care how divisible individuals are getting
You are a miracle in my eye
Cause we are not invincible
Still strong principals
In our material
I’ll tell you why
Our life is critical
This race is winnable
It ain’t no theory tho
It’s just that light
We move like light
The speed of light
We move as
CHORUS
We brought the love to carry on
We got the words we wrote the song
We know the truth can’t be wrong
We got the bond - It makes us strong
We can't go wrong when we’re singing that song

We know the words (we know ‘em)

The Word is Love

When it’s all said and done
The word is love. (Dig it!)
The word is love. (Dig it!)
The word is love. (Dig it!)
When it’s all said and done
The word is love. (Get it!)
The word is love. (Feel it!)
The word is love. (Be it!)
When it’s all said and done
We got the clues
It’s nothing new
Come and take a ride with the crew
Not just keepin busy we mean business
Love is way more than the fabric we fit in
We rep these colors every shade of our melanin
We say what’s not fair without fear of tellin em
(that’s love) It’s not a secret that we’re keeping
It’s the password that keeps mean words from creeping
We got:
Big dreams.
Big gains.
Feel seen
Give thanks.
Team works
Sho nuff.
Be heard.
Show up.
You know we always got each other’s back
Every day In every way that's a #fact
It's so simple, the word ends division
The sign’s on the wall, love is what’s written
When it’s all said and done
The word is love.
When it’s all said and done
The word is love.
When it’s all said and done
The word is love. (Dig it!)
The word is love. (Dig it!)
The word is love. (Dig it!)
The word is love. (Dig it!)
When it’s all said and done
The word is love. (Get it!)
The word is love. (Feel it!)
The word is love. (Be it!)
When you feel like the walls too high and stuff
You can stand on my shoulders and listen up
We got more of us rockin’ on every block
Living with all the love growin’ and stepping up
When you wake up and the world is upside down
and the weight on your shoulders like tons of pounds
Remove the dark shades and look around
Look for the love it will be found
You’ll see:
1 soul.
1 mind.
1 fam.
1 tribe.
1 earth.
1 blood.
1 word - that’s love
Round and round and
round and round we go.
What you give is
what you get back, you know?
Sticks and stones and words
can be hurtful.
Live with your heart
cuz life is a circle.
When it’s all said and done
The word is love.
When it’s all said and done
The word is love.
When the sun comes down
and the day is done.
Looking back,
It’s all simply amazing, huh?
Homies, we better make a habit
And never take it for granted
The artistry of our planet.
To mama nature we got to hand it.
To our elders, who understand it.
Gratitude for all the wisdom
you’ve all implanted within our culture.
We need you -- this is the call in.
What’s the word? It’s LOVE cuz
Love’s a win win.
When it’s all said and done
The word is love.
When it’s all said and done
The word is love.
When it’s all said and done
The word is love.
When it’s all said and done
The word is love.
