[Verse 1]
We came in from the cold
With signs cut from cardboard
Boots on wet pavement
Names on every corner
They said stand back, stay small
But we came ten rows deep
Mamas, kids, and workers
With the whole block singing
[Pre-Chorus]
No crown, no cage
No fear in our lungs
Hands up in the air now
Hear the people come
[Chorus]
No kings, no kings
We sing it loud
No kings, no kings
We won’t bow down
ICE out, ICE out
Let the families breathe
ICE out, ICE out
Set our streets free
[Verse 2]
Old man on the sidewalk
Took off his baseball cap
Said I’ve seen this before
And I’m not going back
The drums kept us moving
Like thunder in our shoes
Every voice in the block
Said we’ve got work to do
[Pre-Chorus]
No crown, no cage
No fear in our lungs
Hands up in the air now
Hear the people come
[Chorus]
No kings, no kings
We sing it loud
No kings, no kings
We won’t bow down
ICE out, ICE out
Let the families breathe
ICE out, ICE out
Set our streets free
[Bridge]
From the church steps
To the transit line
From the schoolyard fence
To the county sign
We are the many
You can’t lock that flame
We march together
And we call their name
[Final Chorus]
No kings, no kings
We sing it loud
No kings, no kings
We won’t bow down
ICE out, ICE out
Let the families breathe
ICE out, ICE out
Set our streets free
No kings, no kings
This road belongs to us
ICE out, ICE out
Till the whole world knows enough
