Lyrics

No Words…
No Words…
 
Huh…
Huh…
 
Hey…
Hey…
 
We walked through the door of no return
Returned with a story to tell
Survival tales of the hell we rebelled against
The crosses we were nailed against
Heavy is the head that wears the crown
Hence the mean mug
And the scrowl
The shoulder shrug
The tough love
No peace in the wild
Here the weak aren’t allowed
We trying to make our mamas proud
Trying to make the ancestors smile down
Look up
Beat down
We stood up
God bless the child
Still hurting
But we better now
We broke them chains
Try and catch us now
Fam, stand your ground
Do you know what we had to go through
Just to stand on these grounds…
 
No words
We fine
We fly
We good
We love what we see
What we see
What we see
What we see
We know what we did it for
What we did it for…
 
No words
We fine
We fly
We good
We love what we see
What we see
What we see
What we see
We know what we did it for
What we did it for…
 
This poem here is for my daddy’s tears
My mama’s cheers
For forty years
Those kids they called crazy amazed the masses
House Music is massive
Just one example of the genius we produce as more and more time passes
We’ve been reminded of our purpose in every passage
Every classic
How did we get this far after the middle passage
The design wasn’t meant for us to survive
Block by block
Every family knows someone who sacrificed their lives
Hollow hands stretch out to the sky
Rain clouds tell us, “Please don’t cry,”
They say, “It’s go be aight,”
The angels know your name
Our guardians light the way
The poets write the way
We rolling
We rocking
We put our soul into every document
We followed our dreams
When the whole world said do the opposite
Our habit is magic
We breathe life when we speak
Manifest kingdoms from the ideas we think
Knowing the healing that will come
If the light inside can be reached…
 
No words
We fine
We fly
We good
We love what we see
What we see
What we see
What we see
We know what we did it for
What we did it for…
 
No words
We fine
We fly
We good
We love what we see
What we see
What we see
What we see
We know what we did it for
What we did it for…
 
We
We are the descendants of survivors
Who dared to dance in the rain
And say, “Look at me shine…”
 
We fine
We fly
We good
Shine…
 
We fine
We fly
We good
Shine…
 
We fine
We fly
We good
Shine…
 
We fine
We fly
We good
Shine…
 
We good
We good
We good
Shine…
 
Shine
Shine
Shine your light
Shine
You got to shine your light
Shine
Shine your light
Shine
Go ‘head and shine your light
Shine
Shine
Shine your light
Shine
You better shine your light
Shine
Shine your light
Shine
You got to shine your light
Shine…
 
Man listen
(Shine)
You better go ‘head and shine your light
(Shine)
Live your life
Like all you got is tonight
Yeah
Shine your light
Shine…
 
No words
We fine
We fly
We good
We love what we see
What we see
What we see
What we see
We know what we did it for
What we did it for…
 
No words
We fine
We fly
We good
We love what we see
What we see
What we see
What we see
We know what we did it for
What we did it for…
We
We are the descendants of survivors
Survivors
Survivors…
