Lyrics

[Verse 1]

This for the voices they said were “too loud”

The ones they cropped out of history, edited out the crowd

From the drum in the village

To the bus seat, to the ballot, to the canvas, to the Senate now

You walked on glass, we get to walk on tile

You took that “go back” and turned it to “go wild”

From chains on the wrist

To chains on the neck, same gold, but the freedom styled

You raised fists, raised kids, raised funds

Spoke truth in a room full of loaded tongues

You took every door slammed

Turned hinges to hymns, made keys out of every “you’re done”

[Pre-Chorus]

I see your face in my mirror (every day)

Hear your names in my prayers when I pray

Every win that I taste

Feels borrowed from the battles that you paved

[Chorus]

This is my letter to the living legends

Every black hand that held this world steady

You carried that weight, now we carry that flame

Say your names ‘til the sky gets heavy

This is my letter that your hearts can feel

Ink of our blood on a page of steel

From the fields to the screens, you rewrote what is real

Everything I am, you’re the root, you’re the yield (oh yeah)

[Verse 2]

To the poets who turned our pain to a spell

The dancers who spun out of heaven and hell

The coders, the codas

The preachers and teachers who taught us ourselves

To the mothers with two jobs, one plate, three mouths

To the fathers who stayed when the lights went out

You loved in a language

That money can’t measure and doubt can’t count

From the leaders who marched in their Sunday best

To the quiet ones signing the protest checks

You were daring, you were careful

Protecting our bodies and our necks

You made boardrooms feel the weight of our tone

Turned “boy” to “boss” in a swivel chair throne

You were “first in the building”

So we could show up like we’ve always belonged

[Pre-Chorus]

I see your face in my mirror (every day)

Hear your names in my prayers when I pray

Every door that slides open

Got fingerprints from your yesterday

[Chorus]

This is my letter to the living legends

Every black hand that held this world steady

You carried that weight, now we carry that flame

Say your names ‘til the sky gets heavy

This is my letter that your hearts can feel

Ink of our blood on a page of steel

From the fields to the screens, you rewrote what is real

Everything I am, you’re the root, you’re the yield

[Bridge]

If you tired, lean on me (lean on me)

We the echo of your “keep going,” can’t you see? (yeah)

Every border that you broke

Is a map in my chest when I can’t breathe

So rest your crown, we’ll guard that shine

You ran so far, we’ll run that line

Our future spelled in your old headlines

Your “last time” made my “first time”

[Chorus]

This is my letter to the living legends

Every black hand that held this world steady

You carried that weight, now we carry that flame

Say your names ‘til the sky gets heavy

This is my letter that your hearts can feel

Ink of our blood on a page of steel

From the fields to the screens, you rewrote what is real

Everything I am, you’re the root, you’re the yield (oh yeah)
