Lyrics
[Intro]
[stomps + claps building]
Hey!
Hey!
Who runs the streets?
(We do, we do)
[Verse 1]
Boots on the pavement
Breath in the cold
Posters peeling
Stories told
Faces masked
But eyes are bright
We came here to claim the night
Steel in our throats
Ink on our hands
Names of the lost on cardboard stands
You raise your walls
We raise our sound
Every heartbeat shaking ground
[Pre-Chorus]
You can ban our books
You can break our doors
But you can’t stop a million
Feet on the floor
[Chorus]
We don’t bow
We don’t break
(We don’t bow, we don’t break)
You can take and take and take
But the streets will never shake
Out our names
Out our rage
(Out our names, out our rage)
From the gutter to the gate
We are louder than your hate
Hey! Hey!
(We don’t bow, we don’t break)
Hey! Hey!
We are louder than your hate
[Verse 2]
You paint your flags in borrowed fear
We paint hope on every mirror
You write laws to crush our lungs
We write futures with our tongues
You point guns at shaken hands
We plant seeds in stolen lands
You crown lies and call it pride
We stand shoulder
Side by side
[Pre-Chorus]
You can steal our sleep
Try to seal our fate
But you can’t cage a wildfire
Once it’s awake
[Chorus]
We don’t bow
We don’t break
(We don’t bow, we don’t break)
You can take and take and take
But the streets will never shake
Out our names
Out our rage
(Out our names, out our rage)
From the gutter to the gate
We are louder than your hate
Hey! Hey!
(We don’t bow, we don’t break)
Hey! Hey!
We are louder than your hate
[Bridge]
Leader: Who decides our dignity?
Crowd: We do! We do!
Leader: Who defines our history?
Crowd: We do! We do!
Leader: When they shout
“Obey the crown!”
Crowd: We rise up
We won’t kneel down!
Leader: When they threaten
When they scream—
Crowd: We’re the ones who hold the dream!
[Chant Break]
[stomps
Claps
Snaps in unison]
This is our street!
(Our street!)
These are our lives!
(Our lives!)
You can’t erase
Our fire
Our fight
This is our town!
(Our town!)
Tear your idols down!
(Idols down!)
We stand together
We stand our ground
[Chorus]
We don’t bow
We don’t break
(We don’t bow, we don’t break)
You can take and take and take
But the streets will never shake
Out our names
Out our rage
(Out our names, out our rage)
From the gutter to the gate
We are louder than your hate
[Outro]
Hey! Hey!
We don’t bow
We don’t break
(stomps, claps, snaps fade with crowd chanting)

Style
Fired-up protest anthem with female lead vocals over stomps, claps, and finger snaps; tempo brisk and urgent. Tight stacked harmonies answer the lead, with shouted gang vocals on the hooks. Verses stay rhythmically punchy and percussive; choruses explode into a massive crowd singalong, big room reverb on chants and a raw, live-march energy throughout.
