đ€ RESTLESS REPUBLIC đ€
(Intro â spoken / rhythmic)
Yeah
Cominâ out the cold, Minneapolis streets
Two lives taken, and the people wonât retreat
Weâre tired, weâre loud â we wonât bow
Restless Republic â stand up now!
(Verse 1)
Look around, this landâs cracked with anger
Federals roll deep, but justice looks stranger
Renée out her car, sun just breaking the day
Shot down in broad light â they say itâs lawful play.
Then Alex on the block, ICU hero on the ground
Tryna lift a neighbor up, federal boots pinned him down.
They say he had a weapon â but tape tells another tale
Pepper sprayed, wrestled, shot â this storyâs off the rails.
(Pre-Hook)
Weâre not fools, we see the lies they sell
Two names, two graves â let the chorus swell!
(Chorus â shouted)
Restless Republic â we wonât rest!
Two fallen Minnesotans â we protest!
Rise up, shout out, wonât let it drop!
Restless Republic â we wonât stop!
(Verse 2)
They came in numbers, badges in a swarm
Claiminâ law and order â but they sparked the storm.
Crowds hit the streets frozen feet in the snow
Candles in the night where the truth started to glow. (
Politicians squabble â community in pain
Anger ainât silent, itâs movinâ like a train.
They cry âprotocol!â â but loyaltyâs to power
We write their names, candlelight by candlelight hour after hour.
Donât try to bury the truth in PR spin
Restless Republic â rise up from within!
(Pre-Hook)
Speak the truth â donât let it slip
Historyâs watching â tighten your grip!
(Chorus â louder)
Restless Republic â we wonât rest!
Two fallen Minnesotans â we protest!
Rise up, shout out, wonât let it drop!
Restless Republic â we wonât stop!
(Bridge â call and response)
Tell us who you serve!
We serve the people!
Tell us who you fear!
We fear no steeple!
Tell us who stands tall when justice falls?
Restless Republic â we raise our walls!
(Outro â empowering)
From Nicollet to Main Street â voices rise
Two names engraved where the cold wind cries.
Weâre restless, relentless â never penned
Restless Republic â this fight wonât end!
