We In the Room Now

Buy me a Coffee

INTRO
Yeah...
They ain't see us comin'.
We knockin' down them doors now.
Ain’t askin’ no more.
It’s time.


PRE-CHORUS
Raised fists in suits and laces,
We crashin' gates, no open spaces.
If silence kill, we spit that truth,
From boardrooms back to the booth.


CHORUS
We in the room now, say it loud,
Black and brown standin’ proud.
Ain’t no ghost in no white crowd —
We here, we fierce, we breakin’ bounds.
We in the room now — yeah, we rise,
Eyes on us, no compromise.
You see the fire? That’s our sound.
We in the room now. We in the room now.


VERSE 1
Came from the corner store, not the Ivy League,
Still got degrees in pain and strategy.
Whispers turn roars when we take the lead,
No apologies — we plantin' seeds.
They lock the doors? We build the keys,
Speak in code, now we speak with ease.
From Ferguson to the galleries,
We paint our truth on policies.


VERSE 2
Boardroom battles, courtroom shuffles,
Still got dreams in du-rags and struggles.
Talk Black, walk bold — break they bubbles,
Let 'em squirm while the truth rebuttals.
We ain’t props for the liberal lens,
We the ones who make the trends.
From TikTok to think tanks, friend,
We here to change how the story ends.


VERSE 3
Sister in STEM, brother in law,
Cookin’ revolution with grandma’s jaw.
Every syllable like ancestral draw,
We them griots breakin’ flawed laws.
We ain't just tryna get a seat —
We movin' tables, uprootin’ elites.
No token, no quota, just heat —
Now watch how justice meets the street.


PRE-CHORUS
Raised fists in suits and laces,
We crashin' gates, no open spaces.
If silence kill, we spit that truth,
From boardrooms back to the booth.


CHORUS
We in the room now, say it loud,
Black and brown standin’ proud.
Ain’t no ghost in no white crowd —
We here, we fierce, we breakin’ bounds.
We in the room now — yeah, we rise,
Eyes on us, no compromise.
You see the fire? That’s our sound.
We in the room now. We in the room now.


VERSE 4
No more beggin' to be let in,
We demand, command — we settin’ trends.
Echoes of Malcolm, word to Assata,
Legacy burnin’ hotter than lava.
We ain’t lost — we reorganized,
See the fire in our focused eyes.
Power ain’t given, it’s claimed with stride,
So recognize who’s by your side.


HOOK
Step in, show out, talk loud — don’t doubt.
They ain’t ready for the truth, but we route.
No shame in the frame, we claim space,
Paintin’ dreams on a whitewashed face.


BRIDGE
Don’t tell us wait — we been patient.
Now we changin’ the whole foundation.
From Ferguson marches to Black reparations,
This voice is the new legislation.


OUTRO
Ain’t no more knockin’ — we inside,
With ancestors walkin’ by our side.
What was hidden now exposed in light,
We the storm, we the future, we the fight.

So next time they ask who changed the game,
Tell ‘em it was voices they tried to tame.
We wrote the verse, we flipped the frame —
Now the world gon’ learn our name.
