VERSE 1 (HARSH + CLEAN MIX)
[SCREAM]
You write your laws like weapons pointed at our backs
[SCREAM]
Dress the hate in Sunday best and call it “facts”
[CLEAN – melodic, sharp]
You police our bodies, police our books,
Teaching fear in every look
You chain the truth, erase the past,
Pretend oppression doesn’t last
[SCREAM]
But we’ve seen the damage silence brings
And we’re done bowing to your kings
⸻
PRE-CHORUS (CLEAN → SCREAM BUILD)
[CLEAN – simmering, rising]
We held our breath, we bit our tongues too long
But justice doesn’t whisper — it learns to roar in song
[SCREAM – short, explosive]
NO MORE SITTING STILL!
⸻
CHORUS (LOCKED — MIXED CLEAN/SCREAM)
[CLEAN – emotional + empowering]
ALL OF US — WE RISE WHEN ONE IS UNDER ATTACK
Your laws won’t break us, we’re never fading to black
[SCREAM – sharp hits]
WE WON’T BOW — WE WON’T BREAK
[CLEAN – uplifting]
We hold the line, shoulder to shoulder, no one left behind
[SCREAM – call & response]
IF YOU COME FOR ONE — YOU COME FOR ALL OF US!
⸻
VERSE 2 (MORE DIRECT, SHARPER)
[SCREAM]
You fear the kids who see through all your lies
[SCREAM]
You ban their books, pretend their voices should be “fixed” or sterilized
[CLEAN – cutting, disappointed]
You legislate our identities
Call cruelty “just beliefs”
But freedom isn’t yours to gate
No matter how you bend your faith
[SCREAM]
We won’t play nice while you attack
Your “old days” aren’t coming back
⸻
PRE-CHORUS 2 (CLEAN + HARSH OVERLAY)
[CLEAN – firm, chest open]
We’ve fought this fight for far too many years
We’ve swallowed dust, we’ve bled our tears
[SCREAM – overlapping last line]
NO MORE HIDING — WE STAND CLEAR!
⸻
CHORUS 2 (BIGGER STACKS, MORE GANG VOCALS)
[CLEAN – stronger, more voices joining]
ALL OF US — WE RISE WHEN ONE IS UNDER ATTACK
Your laws won’t break us,
VeilOfStatic
