about

Giving thanks to and saluting all the people out there fighting for justice and a better world.

lyrics

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.
