    At the end of the video when they are walking in front of them piece of graffiti on the building.... That order was painted by my husband Jamos "IKON' Douglas.... R.I.P. my love. He was so completely beside himself when he saw that piece framing the band he nearly came out of his shoes. Thank you guys for memorializing him in the best way. Whenever I miss him I put this song on and reminisce on the days of the community garden I volunteered at and the Great memories we shared all those years ago on Denver. I love you guys for the song, the video and the message it sends. Stay up!!!!

    Before today, the only flobots song I knew was "no handlebars". I love that song and was reminiscing about some good old days past while listening to it. It comes as no surprise that this song happened to pop up as the next song on the playlist. Tonight wad my first time hearing it and I've replayed it about 10 times. With everything going on in our nation today, I think the message of this song is needed more than ever. God bless and watch over this us all in these times of turmoil and doubt.

    I am now 44 years old and to this day, I have never heard another band like the Flobots. That is crazy for me to think about because of all the music that has come out before and since the Flobots first album. It's so unique in combining hip hop with trumpets, a violin, electric guitar, rock style drums, harmonies... but more importantly, deep, meaningful lyrics. It blows my mind they weren't more popular. I consider them along with Rage Against the Machine in the fact that not only is the music great, but I've learned so much through their lyrics and it's opened my mind to things I normally wouldn't think about. Truly underrated, underappreciated, and definitely a type of music that's missing and needed in today's day and age.

      Actually, when working on the Obama campaign in 2008 I created a remix of this song with Obama speeches. I heard it being played at events, but I can't find it online anymore. I guess the record label took them down.

    The ambiguity of "We rise, together" and "Together, we rise" lead to two opposite, but still compatible, interpretations. We all individually rise for a cause, but we also rise as one against injustice. In the light of recent events, I think that's important to remember.

    So much pain we
    Dont know how to be but angry
    Feel infected like weve got gangrene
    Please dont let anybody try to change me
    Me
    Just me
    In the middle of a sea full of faces
    Full of faces
    Some laugh some salivate
    Whats in your alleyway
    Recycling bins or bullet cases
    Its not equal
    Its not fair
    Were different people
    But were not scared
    We aint never scared
    To pave a new path
    Make a new street
    Build a new bridge
    Say can you see by the dawns early light
    Free slaves running
    Songs words werent right
    Now a new days coming
    The few stay stunning while the many are handsome
    Your soul is alive but they want it for ransom
    The base drumming is the anthem
    We step to the heartbeats of our granddaughters and grandsons
    And
    Rise together we
    Lost hope and found need
    Grounded by our surroundings
    Did the walls scream universities
    Or you and i verse the tees
    React automatic and we burst when squeezed
    And make 9-11 each emergency
    Urgency amber to red like the turning leaves
    Oh please let the hurting cease
    Don't let apathy police the populace
    We will march across
    Those stereotypes that were marked for us
    The answers obvious
    We switch the consonants
    Change the sword to words and lift continents
    If you believe in redemption
    I'm calling to you from another dimension
