Intro – spoken over slow 808 pulse
They said freedom’s granted,
but breath don’t wait for papers.
Intent is law — live it.
⸻
Verse 1 – 16 bars
Came up hearin’ silence sell,
but truth don’t hide too well.
Teachers never told the spell,
freedom’s story that we dwell.
Some say Ramzu Yunus talk bold,
say “claim your worth, don’t sell your soul.”
Maybe not the road they chose,
but still a spark that made youth know.
Read the laws, read Article One,
ICCPR — it’s for everyone.
Ain’t no crown nor loaded gun,
can stop a mind that’s just begun.
They brand rebellion, call it crime,
but justice older than their time.
Intent divine, the grand design,
Right of Self is yours and mine.
⸻
Hook – 8 bars (call + chant)
Stand tall — name your own law,
don’t wait for man’s applause.
Right of Self-Determination — raw,
born free, no clause.
Stop participatin’ in fear,
exit colonies right here.
Intent is the drum you hear,
move with truth, make clear.
⸻
Verse 2 – 16 bars
From Flint to Freetown, hearts beat same,
different streets but the fire flame.
System try box the claim,
but breath don’t answer to name.
Study Malcolm, Garvey’s fire,
Angela, Asata inspire.
Youth online, wired,
chasin’ peace they never hired.
Ramzu spoke of standin’ strong,
said “people been right all along.”
Learn the spark, correct the wrong,
turn the truth to freedom song.
Write it loud, write it clear,
freedom’s not what they engineer.
Being is law — persevere,
truth don’t need premiere.
⸻
Hook – repeat 8 bars
Stand tall — name your own law… (crowd chant echo)
⸻
Verse 3 – 16 bars (final push)
Now the kids on the block got dreams,
tryna decode what power means.
From TikTok feeds to courtroom scenes,
they wanna live beyond machines.
I say intent is law — believe,
don’t follow plots that deceive.
Self-determined, we achieve,
what they wrote we can reprieve.
Ramzu spoke it raw, no mask,
made young minds start to ask.
Not a leader, just a task —
wake the people, break the glass.
Now each generation speak,
law of being ain’t for weak.
Freedom ain’t some day a week,
it’s every breath we keep.
⸻
Hook – final chant 8 bars
Stand tall — name your own law,
don’t wait for man’s applause.
Right of Self-Determination — raw,
born free, no clause.
Stop participatin’ in fear,
exit colonies right here.
Intent is the drum you hear,
move with truth, make clear.
⸻
Outro – spoken over fading 808 bass
Not about one man.
About one mind awakening many.
Intent is law.
Live it.
