Salt on the Road
Verse 1
Red dawn patrols on Portland Ave, stones on the pavement crack
Steel boots, badges blinkin’ lies, the narrative they pack
They said she weaponized her ride — but the tape don’t show
Three shots ring through the windshield — in the cold Minnesota snow(Wikipedia)
Salt on the road, blood on the asphalt, truth gets runnin’ thin
The chorus in the gutter cries like the mothers that she left within
Pre-Chorus
Say her name in the streets, carved on picket signs
Every step shakes the silence, every voice undermines
Chorus
Salt on the road! Hear the wheels turn over bones!
Salt on the road! We won’t let their lies condone!
Salt on the road! Every heartbeat’s in protest code!
Salt on the road — for Renee, for justice owed!
Verse 2
Federal surge in the cities, armored fear in every lane
They call it defense, but the echoes scream her name
A mother, partner, citizen — gone before the sun
And the men in charge rewrite the fight before it’s even begun(Wikipedia)
Salt on the road where the crowd chants out the truth
Minnesota rise, resistance won’t be subdued
Pre-Chorus
Hands in the air, and the whole square roars
We won’t forget the woman that they shot on Main Street floors
Chorus
Salt on the road! Hear the wheels turn over bones!
Salt on the road! We won’t let their lies condone!
Salt on the road! Every heartbeat’s in protest code!
Salt on the road — for Renee, for justice owed!
Bridge
They try to bury truth with propaganda streams
But every open wound ignites a million screams
From Minneapolis squares to every state line bend
Salt on the road — our fury won’t relent!
Final Chorus
Salt on the road! Hear the wheels turn over bones!
Salt on the road! We reclaim what they stole!
Salt on the road! We ignite with every shout!
Salt on the road — till justice shakes the ground!
