lyrics

rise and shine
before your rights all burn up big and bright
cuz nobody here’s gonna stop ‘em ‘fore they try
we all fall down
cuz it don’t make a sound ’til they burn to the ground

I wanna go where the cold wind blows
where everything’s home
and no one’s gonna scold ya
all of y’all folks
just doing what they told ya
it’s time to get told
they’re kicking in the door
so run and hide ’til you decide to

rise and shine
before your rights all burn up big and bright
cuz nobody here’s gonna defend ‘em with their life
they all burn down
cuz it don’t make a sound ’til they fall to the ground

I’d rather rise than be hypnotized
by corporate signs and pretty little price lines
profits go up when conciousness is low
but when we get woke we’re kicking in the door
so run and hide ’til you decide to

rise and take your own mind
don’t let ‘em hold your thoughts
you got your head now to worry ‘bout not your soul
so give ’til the wall gives in
and walk ’til the walkway ends
if you don’t kill with kindness you’ll die by fear

the power’s always like a python that’s creeping up
ready to bite just when everything is fine

so we’re getting ourselves together
finding out where the movement lives
we aim our eyes at what’s on the rise
say hi to the world that’s coming
I don’t know how we don’t win
if everyone gets their two cents in
hate won’t take
cuz we’re gonna make sure
everyone gets to rise just the same
we’re here to say

rise and shine
before your rights all burn up big and bright
cuz nobody here’s gonna stop ‘em ‘fore they try
we all fall down
cuz it don’t make a sound ’til they burn to the ground

about

Mayaenova Austin, Texas

Jam-packed with juicy 60s drum samples, spicy 70s-style bass licks, and caustic Bernie-cratic lyrics decrying the rampant income and wealth inequality ever since, DONOR REPUBLIC is a 20-song ode to freedom from corporatism, crony capitalism, and the corrupt political system in which we live. ... more
