[Breakdown / Call & Response]
Lead: Whose is this—
Gang: ALL OF US!
Lead: What guards it—
Gang: OUR HANDS!
Lead: What do we praise—
Gang: THE EARTH!
Lead: What do we leave—
Gang: TOMORROW!

[Intro]
(whisper)
Listen close—down at your feet.
In the black night, the soil breathes.

[Verse 1 / Rap-Growl]
City lights keep the dirt out of sight.
Asphalt—bandage on the body of Earth.
Someone’s hunger scorches the sky,
but roots still reach in the dark.
Forget win/lose—share the water.
With these hands, give tomorrow back.

[Pre / Whisper Build]
Cracks spell out a prayer.
A heartbeat knocks beneath the hurt.
(breath) Here—right now.
(breath) I swear to the ground.

[Chorus / Hook]
Praise the earth—though it breaks apart.
The scent of mud is a song of life.
Unwind the dark—inside this heart.
A low-end pulse calls up the dawn.
(gang) PRAISE IT!

[Verse 2 / Rap-Growl]
Hear the rain, not gunfire.
Salt from tears makes the soil grow.
Iron flags will rust and fall,
but wheat will rise again.
Hands that take turn hollow;
only hands that hold know weight.

[Pre 2 / Whisper Build]
Even on ash, a sprout can sleep.
In scorched wind, a flower endures.
(breath) Here—right now.
(breath) I sing to the ground.

[Drop / Dead-Silent Pre-Drop]
(DEAD SILENCE)
(whisper) Soil—
(beat drop)

[Breakdown / Half-time + Pan-Flute Solo]
[* Pan-Flute Solo — 8–12 bars over half-time breakdown; mode: C Aeolian with Phrygian ♭2 (Db) stabs. Start breathy/close (near-mic), then widen to 3D panning spirals. Use long notes, bends/portamento, flutter-tongue accents, and 2 short triplet runs max. Underneath: Drop-C chugs with hard stops; sub drops only on stops. Last 2 bars: solo-only cadenza → DEAD SILENCE (1 beat) → Gang re-entry. *]

[Call & Response]
Lead: Whose is this—
Gang: ALL OF US!
Lead: What guards it—
Gang: OUR HANDS!
Lead: What do we praise—
Gang: THE EARTH!
Lead: What do we leave—
Gang: TOMORROW!

[Bridge / Cinematic]
A flute unties the fog.
Strings like waves stitch up the wounds.
A tiny seed splits the dark—
this is the only place we return.

[Final Chorus]
Praise the earth—though it breaks apart.
Even the cracks become constellations.
Don’t add to the night—give breath back.
A low-end pulse calls up the dawn.
Praise the earth—with these feet, right here.
(gang) PRAISE IT! PRAISE IT!

[Outro]
(whisper)
Today’s one step becomes soil.
And over it—light falls.
