[Intro (Spoken / Whispered) (subway rumble, soft beat)] Yeah… From the past to the present. From Harriet to us. NYC—listen. ⸻ [Verse 1 (Smooth Hip-Hop)] Born in a world where the rules weren’t fair No books, no voice, still she stayed aware She listened to the night, learned signs, learned sound Found freedom first before she found ground They tried to keep her mind real small But she saw exits in the dark walls Learning wasn’t written, it was lived Every step was a lesson she gave ⸻ [Pre-Chorus (Build / Melodic)] Freedom don’t start when you run away It starts when your mind sees another way If you can think it, you can move That’s history talkin’, now it’s you ⸻ [Chorus (Big K-Pop Anthem)] No chains on the mind, no limits inside From the Bronx to the night, yeah we rise Headphones on, let the knowledge ride We learn, we move, we multiply No chains on the mind, say it loud, say it proud Past to the present, freedom’s sound If she found a way, so can we Learning is the key—yeah, learning is free ⸻ [Verse 2 (Rap – Bronx Flavor, Clean)] On the train, on the block, on the walk home late Whole world loud but my thoughts stay awake They say “stay in your lane,” I say “watch me grow” Every story I hear help me level up more Harriet moved without maps or screens Still knew more than they’d ever seen If knowledge is power, then pass it around That’s how you lift the whole town ⸻ [Pre-Chorus 2] She didn’t leave and forget the rest She went back ‘cause she knew what’s next If you learn just to shine alone That ain’t freedom—bring others home ⸻ [Chorus (Repeat – Stronger)] No chains on the mind, no limits inside From the Bronx to the night, yeah we rise Headphones on, let the knowledge ride We learn, we move, we multiply No chains on the mind, say it loud, say it proud Past to the present, freedom’s sound If she found a way, so can we Learning is the key—yeah, learning is free ⸻ [Bridge (Drop Beat / Spoken + Harmony) (beat drops)] She walked so we could run. ([soft harmony)] We listen so we can lead. ([beat snaps back)] Different time, same mission— Grow the mind, change conditions. ⸻ [Final Chorus (Key Change / Stadium Feel)] No chains on the mind, hear the whole city say From history’s road to today Every voice learned, every mind awake That’s how freedom gets made No chains on the mind, let it echo, let it ring Great books build great dreams Harriet’s steps still guiding me Learning is freedom—learning is me ⸻ [Outro (Chant / Fade)] (group chant) No chains. No fear. We learn. We lead. ([soft)] NYC… Freedom moves with us.
