00:07They told us this was just rock and dirt.
00:14That we were just hands and backs built to break.
00:23I believed that for a long time.
00:31I showed up, swung the hammer, came home with dust in my lungs and nothing in my hands.
00:41Then a man walked into our town wearing a smile that didn't reach his eyes and promises that didn't reach
00:48the ground.
00:53He wanted everything we built.
00:58Everything we bled for.
01:04And when I said no, he tried to bury me with it.
01:10But here's the thing about stone, you can crack it.
01:16You can shatter it, but you cannot make it kneel.
01:21This is my home.
01:23These are my people.
01:25And nobody takes that from us.
01:38And I have to come out to you.
