Oh, we saying names tonight!
Keisha! Letitia! Hakeem!
Black history and a blue wave—
Turn it up!
Grandma had her glasses on, sitting by the screen,
Said, “Come here, baby, look at what I’m seeing!”
Years of standing in those lines,
Now those dreams got names and those names gon’ shine!
Keisha Lance Bottoms, Georgia standing proud,
Letitia James, New York getting loud!
Little girls dancing with their hands up high,
“I see somebody like me!”—baby, so do I!
Black and blue wave—wave, wave!
Look at all the history we made, made!
Hands in the air, let the whole room sway,
We brought our votes, now we got something to say!
Black and blue wave—roll, roll!
Bring that courage, bring that soul!
Say those names, let the celebration play,
Then get up tomorrow and lead the way!
David Crowley, Wisconsin on its feet,
Aaron Ford, Nevada brought the heat!
Wes Moore, Maryland back again,
Juliana Stratton with a Senate win!
Stacey Plaskett, let the islands sing,
Adrienne Adams, hear New York ring!
Tiffany Moore Russell, take that floor,
Janeese Lewis George—D.C. wants more!
Penny Brown Reynolds! (Say her name!)
Jasmine Clark! (Say her name!)
Every Black winner, near and far—
Let your hometown know just who you are!
Hakeem got that Speaker’s seat in sight,
Brooklyn, raise your voices tonight!
If the House says yes, that gavel tells
A story our grandparents knew so well.
Every “keep on going,” every “hold your ground,”
Every church van bringing voters into town,
Every tired worker who still made that line—
There’s a little bit of you in this moment to shine!
Black is the pride, blue is the wave,
Love for the people who carried the weight.
We know Black history reaches past party lines,
Every barrier broken gets its place in time.
For the names we sang and the names still coming through,
For the folks back home who put their trust in you—
Let this joy become something we can feel:
A fair shot, a helping hand, a promise kept real!
Black and blue wave—wave, wave!
Look at all the history we made, made!
Keisha! Letitia! Hakeem in view!
Hear that crowd calling out to you!
Black and blue wave—roll, roll!
Bring that courage, bring that soul!
Flowers tonight, expectations
Black and blue wave—wave, wave!
Black and blue wave—wave, wave!
wave, wave! wave, wave! (fade)
