Positive Noise
Turn that shit up!
For everybody told to quiet down
This is your sound!
[Scratched Vocal]
Express yourself!
Express yourself!
Walk in the room with my head held high,
Got a whole damn universe locked inside.
They want a blank face, same old mold,
But I’ve got a fire that won’t do what it’s told.
Too loud? Too weird? Too much for you?
I’m done pretending just to get approved.
Got scars, got dreams, got something to say,
And I’m not letting hate take another day.
Paint that picture, write that verse,
Turn that pressure into something that works.
Dance offbeat, let your freak flag fly,
You don’t need permission to feel alive!
I spent too long turning myself down,
Trying to disappear inside the crowd.
Now every part I used to hide
Is coming through these speakers tonight!
Express yourself!
Let the whole room shake!
Fuck the hate!
We’ve got better things to make!
Throw your hands up!
Let that good shit multiply!
Massive positive vibes
We’re bringing this place alive!
Be who you are!
Let your own light shine!
There’s room for your voice
Right here beside mine!
Fuck-fuck-fuck the hate!
Let-let-let it go!
Turn that love up!
Let the whole world know!
I’m not wasting my breath on a comment thread,
Got a thousand better things to do instead.
Call my friend, check in, make somebody laugh,
Put a little more good on a fucked-up path.
You sing? Sing loud. You draw? Make art.
You build? Build something straight from the heart.
Different minds with a different spark,
Watch us light this motherfucker out of the dark!
Got no crown, got no throne,
But nobody in this crowd stands alone.
If you stumble, I’m reaching back.
We move together when the world attacks.
You don’t gotta smile every minute of the day,
You can bring your hurt; you can say you’re not okay.
We’ve got room for the truth and room to grow
Take a deep breath, then let that shit flow!
I spent too long turning myself down,
Trying to disappear inside the crowd.
Now every part I used to hide
Is coming through these speakers tonight!
Express yourself!
Let the whole room shake!
Fuck the hate!
We’ve got better things to make!
Throw your hands up!
Let that good shit multiply!
Massive positive vibes
We’re bringing this place alive!
Be who you are!
Let your own light shine!
There’s room for your voice
Right here beside mine!
Some days the weight gets heavy.
Some days the words won’t come.
You don’t have to face it empty.
You don’t have to face it numb.
Pull up a chair beside me.
Tell me what you’re going through.
We can start with one small moment
I’ve got time to hear you.
Then take that breath
And make some fucking noise!
Half-Time, Shouted Call and Response
YOUR VOICE!
LET IT OUT!
YOUR LIFE!
LIVE IT LOUD!
MORE LOVE!
LESS HATE!
LIFT EACH OTHER
BREAK THAT WEIGHT!
Positive-positive-positive vibes!
I WON’T SHUT DOWN!
I WON’T FAKE IT!
THIS IS MY SOUND—
AND I’M GONNA MAKE IT!
Express yourself!
Let the whole room shake!
Fuck the hate!
We’ve got better things to make!
Throw your hands up!
Let that good shit multiply!
Massive positive vibes
We’re bringing this place alive!
Be who you are!
Let your own light shine!
There’s room for your voice
Right here beside mine!
One more beat, one more spark,
Take this feeling out into the dark.
Check on your people, give somebody time,
Keep that love moving past the last line.
No more shrinking just to fit their view
There’s a whole damn world that needs the real you!
EXPRESS YOU
RSELF!
FUCK THE HATE!
SPREAD THE LOVE
LET THE SPEAKERS SHAKE!
Now go make somebody’s day.
