[Chorus]
The Wakandan Offensive
2020
[Grace]
Commander Prophet.
[Destiny]
General McQueen.
At the helm where you belong?
[Grace]
I know exactly what you mean.
We’re finally on the field
It’s been quiet a ride
[Grace]
Ladies:
[Destiny/Grace : High Five]
We get the job done.
[Destiny]
What happens if this works?
[Grace]
Depends of Hapinstance
We free the people, restart our lives I guess?
[Destiny]
Can we really go back then?
[Grace]
Go lead your men
[Destiny]
Whatever side we end up on
[Grace]
I’ll see you opposite of it!
[Destiny]
Hell yeah!
[Chorus]
We are not throwin’ away our shot!
We are not throwin’ away our shot!
Hey yo we’re just like our country, young scrappy, and hungry
And We are not throwin’ away our shot!
We are not throwin away our shot!
[Destiny]
Til the world turns upside down.
[Chorus]
Til the world turns upside down
[Destiny]
I’ve nearly died so much it feels more like a memory
Is this where it gets me: on my feet
Our enemy ahead of me?
If this is the end of me, at least I’ve got some friends with me
Weapons in hand, my command, and my men with me
Then I remember this is what they got me out for.
Not only that, this is what I signed on for.
We gotta go, gotta get this job done
Gotta win this fight, die tryin’, or run!
[Louis]
Put the silencer on your gun!
[Chorus]
Done!
[Louis]
Take the gun off stun!
[Chorus]
Done!
[Fei]
We move undercover and we move as one.
Through the night, we have one shot to live another day.
We’re gonna move out, burn anything in our way!
We’ll fight like lightning, seize the moment and finish it.
It’s either that or the business end of something unpleasant.
The code word is “Atlantis”, hear me?
[Chorus]
Atlantis
[Destiny]
We have our orders, come on let's go!
[Grace]
And so the Wakanda Offensive begins
With our friends all scattered to the wind
Louis down in Panama, fightin’ on bravely
[Grace/Lauren Montagrie/Destiny]
We’ll never be free until we end slavery!
[Grace]
When they finally drive the seppies away
Larin meets us all in
[Grace/Destiny]
The Gulf Bay
[Grace]
How did we know this little plan would work?
We had some intel from the inside
That’s right!
[Grace, Sage,Nicolav, Ensemble]
Nicholov Bartok!
[Nicholav]
A tech spying of the ‘Public generals
I fix their problem, plant a few of mine then high tail it on
[Chorus]
Out!
[Sage]
The Seps think they can trust me.
I get intel, no idea where it came from but I’m takin’ it!
So that’s what you get when you think you can trust me.
We’re in it thick now, so we gonna cut through it
[Nicholav and Sage]
Bartok and McQueen
We need not introduction
Bitch knock us down we get right back up again
[Chorus(Nicolav){Destiny}|Montagrie|*Grace*]
Let’s go! (Whoa!)
Left! Right! |Hold!|
{Shit!}
Wait! Wait! *Wait!*
[Grace]
After weeks of fighting, Bartok brings word of a secret meeting
We send Prophet up to stall for a time until we can arrive.
[Sage]
And just like that it’s over. We arrive, Grace gets our treaty signed.
[Montagrie]
Child and grown soldiers wonder alike if this really means freedom.
[Cordova]
Not yet
[Grace]
We negotiate the terms of surrender
I see General Cordova smile.
We escort the clones off world
They fly back home single file
Tens of thousands thousands of people flood the streets
There are shouts, cries and bells ringing
As our worn out foe retreats
I hear the drinking song we’re singing
[Nicolav, Baalman, Deacon, Cordova]
Our worlds turned upside down.
[add Grace, Destiny, Sage, Montagrie]
Our worlds turned upside down.
[add Chorus]
The world turned upside down.
turned the world upside down
[Grace, Sage]
Down
[Nicolav, Jerome]
Down.
[All]
down, down
[Destiny]
Freedom for our family, freedom for our friends!
[Chorus]
Down, down down.
[Jerome]
Gotta clear ‘em out
Gotta get back up
[Chorus]
Down, down down!
[Bartok]
We won!
We won!
[Sage]
We won!
[Grace, Jerome, Montagrie]
We won!
[Nicolav,Jerome, Montagrie, Sage, Destiny, Grace, Cordova]
We won!
[Chorus]
The world’s turned upside down!
