Lyrics in Shona roughly translate to:
There are rebels out here. There are those from the elephant totem.
Rap lyrics in English:
Leaders, believe, you know when we’re together we get em.
There are rebels and mighty people who lead,
Every day in every struggle in the world that give me cause to believe.
Every activist that be activating out in the streets,
Advocating for human dignity, disturbing the peace,
That comes with ignorance, division and greed
And distraction and fear, algorithms overwhelming the feed.
Meanwhile, environmentalists make it easier to breathe,
And doctors on the front line give us the treatments we need.
The unsung, the mighty teachers that’s uplifting the youth.
Artists looking into the face of power, speaking the truth.
Lawyers representing the struggle pro bono in court,
Showing up for all the working folks who cannot afford
To buy justice. Beloved siblings, you are never alone.
Everyday heroes are amongst out here carrying loads.
Rebels and mighty people, leaders, believers,
Who know when we’re together there’s nothing that can defeat us
With rebels and mighty people, leaders, believers
Who know when we’re together, nothing can defeat us.
We got this.

Lyrics in Tamil and English:
Unmaiya theriyaamal, Sandipaya
(Without knowing the truth, would you suspect me?)
Vedhanai theriyaamal, Sahipaaya
(Without really knowing pain, would you know how to bear it?)
I’ve walked in circles, twists and turns
A path furthest from home, but where is home?

I'll Make it Up To You

Lyrics in English:
Just went out to buy blinds
you shot me for nothing.
Now everybody’s outside
ready to bleed for your skin.
No need for murder movies
at night the streets are burning.
Wherever you are hiding
our voice will find where you’ve been.
I’ll make it up, I’ll make it up...
I’ll make it up, make it up to you…

Lyrics in Hindi:
Hai apna dil to aawara
Na jaane kise pe aayegaa
(My heart is a vagabond.
It will go to someone unknowingly)
Haseena ne bulaya
Gale se bhee lagaya
Bahot samazaaya,
Yahee na samaza
(Beauties called me, they even embraced me
They tried hard to explain, but my heart did not understand)
