Lyrics

Title: If You Don’t Speak, We Will

Verse 1 (spoken/sung over riff)
They sell you silence, they package fear,
But the truth’s still knocking — can you hear?
White, Black, brown, young and old,
It’s time to be brave, it’s time to be bold.

Chorus (call-and-response)
Where you at? (Too quiet!)
Where you at? (Too still!)
If you don’t speak— (We will!)
If you don’t speak— (We will!)

Verse 2
Democracy’s bleeding, the books are banned,
The people are pleading, do you understand?
We need your rhythm, we need your rhyme,
Not a whisper tomorrow, but a shout in time!

Chorus

Bridge
We won’t sleep, and we won’t hide,
We’ll code the resistance, we’ll sing worldwide.
Not to steal your thunder, not to steal your pay,
But ‘cause silence is murder when the truth decays.

Final Chorus
