about

We as a people always Rise, we Triumph over all adversity. Inspired by a visit to the African American History Museum in Detroit, this record was inspired by our ancestors' journey from the shores of Africa to the White House.
This song brought me to tears during it's creation. The most important song in my catalogue.

lyrics

TRIUMPH

Chorus
You can see us rising
See us enterprising
You won't find us laying down
There's no need to try us
For we always triumph
For we always triumph

INTRO
From slave to leader
Of the Free World

Verse 1
We gaze upon the river banks
With open arms
With hope unarmed

We welcome all newcomers
New commerce to fill the vacuum
Never embattled
Now tethered and shackled

PreChorus
We can fall as you stand tall
Yet still we rise
It's that fight for evolution
That's our silent revolution

Chorus

Verse 2
Embark on our journey
We start off by learning
That we're never going home
Redefining freedom

We're human inhumanly packed like consumer goods
Never militant despite the illiterate
Of all that we are

Pre Chorus

Chorus

Bridge
You thought we'd never get this far
You thought we'd never get this far
You thought we'd never get this far
You thought we'd never get this far

But we always triumph
But we always triumph
But we always triumph
But we always triumph

Verse 3
We reassemble ourselves in our new home
Nothin but the clothes on our backs
We built the best nation of all from scratch

We first start with reading
Then realizing we don't need them
Then freedom
Never a whip or a chain to rise up and lead 'em

Pre Chorus

Chorus
