Mountains to Climb

It’s never been easy 
To start upon a journey
That you know is gonna 
Bring you to your knees
Starring down an open road
Your heart and breath go cold
But no one makes a difference 
By standing in place
So you put your first foot forward 
With faith you carry on ward
Knowing that each step will bring you closer to your dreams

So you take that first step not knowing what the price would be
Only that the path that lies a head is gonna be life changing 

Then you find
Peace because 
The Mountains you Climb
Have turned into Hills 
A feat you’d never witness 
while you’re standing still

It’s never been easy 
to continue walking 
down a road you know 
at times has made your feet bleed
But even when times are tough
You've never given up
Cause no one makes a difference 
by standing in place
Oh you'd like a quick respite 
A chance to catch your breath
But if you stop right now
You know you'll never reach your dreams

So you take that next step
Look around and can already see
That the path you've been on 
Is already changing

Then you find
Peace because the 
Mountains you climb
Have turned into hills
A feat you'll never witness 
While you're standing still

Now it's getting easier the road 
That you have traveled on so long
Has made your feet feel 
Much lighter than the breeze
With the end in sight
You press on with your might
and now you have the chance to 
Finally realize your dreams 

So you take that last step 
Give thanks as you fall to your knees
And the path you just walked is no longer 
the burden it once seem

Then you find
Peace because the
Mountains you climb
Have turned into hills
a feat you'll never witness while you're standing still

Paint Your Portrait

Anthems from the Barricades

The peoples movements in history 
Gave a voice to the voiceless
Don’t stand silent while the war is waged
Come sing your anthems from the barricades
Come sing your anthems from the barricades
Come sing your anthems from the barricades

All’s well that ends well 
Or tonight we dine in hell
Meme all their phrases
Create a narrative to tell
We’re calling all the artists of the nation to resistance
Do you have a talent you can use to spread the message
We need posters we need songs we need our own propaganda
The media’s just gonna parrot the language of their masters
Bring your words bring your art bring your beats and bring your tunes
We need a catchy hook to get our message past the news
An anthem can be anything that brings the cause attention 
From a painting on a wall to a poem you wrote on a napkin
The point is the art represents the people 
And the struggle of being crushed underneath the corporate boot heel
Are you sick with COVID or living in a tent city
Did all your last check pay for rent but not groceries
You won’t change minds if if you wait for them to make a choice 
The people on the fence need to sing your words in their voice

The peoples movements in history 
Gave a voice to the voiceless
Don’t stand silent while the war is waged
Come sing your anthems from the barricades
Come sing your anthems from the barricades
Come sing your anthems from the barricades

You don’t have to go where the protests are
Sam Cooke brought change to the rich white bars
Billy Halliday took music to the downtowns too
Where the people in the cities never knew bout strange fruit
When they move the goalposts you move the barricades
Take the message to them so they aint got a safe space
Maximum impact when they can relate to you
Show up at a protest wearing red white and blue
When the cops start beating protesters wearing flags 
They’ll have a tough time putting spin on that
Uh...well...they’re ANTI- FA
Then why do they proudly wear the symbol of America 
Deliver the message control the optics
Veiwers need to watch THEIR democracy get punished
You won’t change minds if you keep the message in your group 
The people on the fence need to see how they relate to you

The peoples movements in history 
Gave a voice to the voiceless
Don’t stand silent while the war is waged
Come sing your anthems from the barricades
Come sing your anthems from the barricades
Come sing your anthems from the barricades

Anthems From The Barricade

Peacekeeper Riots

Welcome protesters to the Peacekeeper riots
Where police use their fists to advise you all to be silent
They only showed up to protect their right to stay violent
Watch how police start the Peacekeeper riots 

Glad that you’re here we hope you get to protest peacefully
Didn’t you know police brutality was gonna be more than just part of the scenery?
You weren’t allowed to kneel so you gather to protest hate 
But they got institutional support to violently put you in your place
So much power in their fist that they can do what they wish
If it means people die we’re supposed to accept how it is
Shows of force against the meek make them confident in  their actions they’d 
Rather drive a truck through a crowd than show us any kind of compassion
Just when you though they were kneeling to show their solidarity 
They fasten their gas mask stand up and get to work clearing out the streets
Get ready for pepper spray if you don’t do what they say they pull your mask down and send a concentrated dose of it right to your face
The government hired the bullies to monitor the school,
That shouldn’t surprise you, they’ve always used racist tools. 


Welcome Protesters to the peacekeeper Riots
Where police use less-lethals to advise you all to be silent
They only showed up to protect their right to stay violent
Watch how police escalate the peacekeeper riots

Now that you’re here I hope you get to protest peacefully
See the looters showed up and now police well they beat you freely
After dark its hard to watch cause they’re trying their best to their their worst
And god help you if you aint quick enough to follow commands to disperse
But sometime you can’t leave because they direct you to a trap 
Where they can arrest, beat you and force you to breathe the gas
Night sticks Crashing breaking bone and plastic, 
rubber bullets flying high so they do max damage
Oh good the press is here maybe they’ll tone down their escalation
Nah, they shoot them too and arrest them for daring to film our questions
Turn them blind like their justice now they’re stealing our supplies to obstruct us
Making it harder to heal the people they swore to protect but instead of comfort they punished
Mounted attacks and dogs mow over the people to suppress em quicker  
They douse our kids with mace and force us to cry them a river

Welcome protesters to the Peacekeeper Riots
Where police use their guns to shoot you till you’re silent
They only showed up to protect their right to stay violent
The want a license to kill so they continue to riot

We just want to protest peacefully
Stop Arresting the Peace
