Today We R 1
90s hip hop track pulses with sharp 808 kicks, snappy snares, and bold hi-hats, Verses feature a confident male rapper, while soulful, expressive female Vocal Hook – soft, haunting R&B vocals soar in the melodic hook, Layered vinyl scratches, jazzy samples, and subtle synth pads add dynamic texture throughout, high quality vocals, dynamic beats

Intro
Yeah…
From the gutter to the skyline
From the pain to the champagne
Today we stand together
Today we are one
Verse 1
I came up where the cops ride slow through the night
Mama cried every week, tryna keep shit right
Brothers locked in a cell while the rich get fed
Whole hood full of dreams and a pocket of dread
I done seen fake love turn snakes in a second
Seen a preacher steal money while he preachin’ heaven
But we still hold strong when the world go cold
Still rise from the ashes when the story gets told
Everybody got scars, everybody got sin
Everybody want peace but we born in the wind
Middle fingers to the hate and the lies they run
Different colors, same blood — today we are one
Hook
Today we are one
Fuck the fear, fuck the guns
Hands high to the sky, let the pain all burn
Every loss, every lesson, every bridge we burned
Today we are one
From the block to the slums
No chains on the soul, let the real shit come
Ain’t nobody stand alone — today we are one
Verse 2
I got homies doing bids cause the system too dirty
Young queens workin’ doubles just to make it to thirty
Little kids dodgin’ bullets on the way to school
Politicians act blind while they break every rule
But the people still march, still scream for change
Still dance in the rain when the world insane
We got Arabs and Blacks, Asians and Latins
White boys in the crowd all the speakers blastin’
And nobody give a damn where you born at
If your heart got love, then you part of the format
We all been broke, all cried at night
All searched for God when we lost that light
Hook
Today we are one
Fuck the fear, fuck the guns
Hands high to the sky, let the pain all burn
Every loss, every lesson, every bridge we burned
Today we are one
From the block to the slums
No chains on the soul, let the real shit come
Ain’t nobody stand alone — today we are one
Bridge
No more walls, let ‘em fall
No more kings above us all
We the voice of the unheard crowd
Turn the pain into thunder loud
Verse 3
I remember cold nights with the heat cut off
Now we toast to survival every week we fought
Every motherfuckin’ setback made steel from bone
Now the whole damn world sing the anthem home
If you ever felt lost, put your lighters high
If you buried somebody and still ask why
If you came from the bottom and you still stand tall
Then this right here yours — this for all of y’all
Hook
Today we are one
Fuck the fear, fuck the guns
Hands high to the sky, let the pain all burn
Every loss, every lesson, every bridge we burned
Today we are one
From the block to the slums
No chains on the soul, let the real shit come
Ain’t nobody stand alone — today we are one
Outro
Today we are one
Not divided
Not broken
Still breathin’
Still fightin’
Still dreamin’
Yeah… today we are one
