Yeah. (yeah)
Look at the pieces on the board, man.
They want us to play a game where we already lost before we even roll the dice.
Two sides of the same coin, but we can make our own currency.
Let's talk about real leverage. (real talk)
We been stepping to a drum that ain't our own rhythm (yeah)
Two options on the ballot, but it’s the same system
They take the vote for granted like it’s just a given
While our people in the city are just barely living
I am looking at the history from seventy-two
The Gary convention had a vision of what we could do
But bureaucratic red tape is a heavy chain
Meant to keep us running backward in the freezing rain
But I am breaking down the barriers and clearing lines
We need official party status in these modern times (boss)
Gathering the signatures to put the power back
In the hands of the community that's on the track
Submitting articles to build a brand new frame
A symbol and a charter that can back the name
We registering with the commission for the fight
Bringing all the local people out into the light (so Majestic)
They want the national race, but we play the ground game
We want the representation, not the empty fame
Every state, every city, let the truth arise
We are building leverage right before their eyes
Yeah, we building leverage right before their eyes
No more promises that wither under open skies (yeah)
They think we chasing for the mansion on the hill
But national campaigns are just a bitter pill
Third parties never win the presidential seat
The math is matching up, I see it on the street
So we are laser focused on the local chairs
State legislative seats to handle our affairs
City councils, mayoral races, school boards too
The places where the policy affects the view
In every district where the numbers show the truth
Where black Americans are looking for a brighter youth
A handful of strategic seats inside the House
Can turn a quiet whisper to a roar from a mouse (real talk)
We hold the deciding votes upon the federal plane
That is the only way to minimize the pressure and the pain
I'm asking you to look at columns and the rows
Because the math is beautiful the way it grows (so Majestic)
They want the national race, but we play the ground game
We want the representation, not the empty fame
Every state, every city, let the truth arise
We are building leverage right before their eyes
Yeah, we building leverage right before their eyes
No more promises that wither under open skies (yeah)
There are millions of our people who have never punched a card
They look at the machine and see it playing way too hard
But a party built by them and for them is the spark
To bring a little guidance when the day is looking dark
It is a binding contract that we write inside the room
To make the flowers in the garden finally bloom (boss)
This agenda that we writing ain’t a wish list
It is a contract for the people and a business
No empty promises from left or from the right
No strategies from twenty twenty-five inside the night
The goal is representation, not a wild rebellion
We want the true accounts, no more false telling
We will protect the things we build by any means
And keep the focus on the people, not the big machines
I hope you're picking up the things I'm putting down
From the smallest country valley to the heaviest town
We need the equity in housing and the healthcare right
And economic investment to sustain the light
We need the criminal justice system fully checked
And every single conversation given deep respect
Knowledge is the power that we carry in our hand
We organizing for the future of the land (yeah)
They want the national race, but we play the ground game
We want the representation, not the empty fame
Every state, every city, let the truth arise
We are building leverage right before their eyes
Yeah, we building leverage right before their eyes
No more promises that wither under open skies (yeah)
So remember the date.
June thirteenth, we coming together.
Cookout style, Chicago energy.
Protect what we build, always.
Power to the people. (real talk)"
