[Verse 1: MC A] Yo, Canada’s about the people, the heart and the soul, From the east to the west, we’re rockin’ the whole. From the fishermen’s docks to the farmer’s field, Strength of the buys is the power we wield. Diversity shines, we’re a patchwork dream, Every voice matters, we’re a part of the team. True north strong, yeah, we’re takin’ the lead, Canada First, it’s the spirit we need! [Hook] (Canada First!) For the people, stand tall, (Canada First!) We’re united, one and all. (Canada First!) From the heart to the land, Canada’s winnin’, give a round of hands! [Verse 2: MC B] Yo, it’s the teachers, the nurses, the neighbors who care, The ones who step up when the load’s to bear. It’s the smiles in the streets, the warmth we share, It’s the hands that lift you when life’s unfair. We got grit, we got heart, we got pride inside, When the chips are down, we’re side by side. It’s not about gold or a world’s acclaim, It’s about the people who live the name! [Hook] (Canada First!) For the people, stand tall, (Canada First!) We’re united, one and all. (Canada First!) From the heart to the land, Canada’s winnin’, give a round of hands! [Bridge: Scratches & Breakbeat] DJ scratches: "Canada... Strong... Together!" Every city, every town, every village, every street, It’s the people who make this nation complete. From coast to coast, yeah, we’re holdin’ the line, Canada First, let the anthem shine! [Verse 3: MC C] Yo, it’s the stories we share, the songs we sing, The laughter and love that the people bring. From hockey nights to the festival lights, It’s the everyday heroes who make it right. Whether you’re settin’ traps or swingin’ a hammer, We’re all together in this big ol’ banner. Canada First, it’s a people’s parade, A legacy built and a future made! [Hook] (Canada First!) For the people, stand tall, (Canada First!) We’re united, one and all. (Canada First!) From the heart to the land, Canada’s winnin’, give a round of hands! [Outro: All Together] Yo, Canada’s callin’, the people respond, It’s the love for each other that keeps us strong. Canada First, yeah, it’s written in stone, For the people, by the people—this land we own! (Fade out with upbeat scratches and a unifying beat)
