PRE-CHORUS
I’m “the Big Bad Wolf” they say,
“Why did you scare that girl away?”
You don’t even know me
So why you trying to tell me?
I tried and I tried
Misunderstandings really get to me
Take another deep breath
Calm the storm within your chest
When they go low you know the rest
CHORUS:
It’s times like this,
I ain’t acting like I know I should
You got me labeled, “Big Bad Wolf”
And now you got me howling at the moon.
V1:
You don’t know me
You only know the rumors
my -reputation proceeds me,
So, as soon as you meet me
You jump to conclusion
Why?
‘Cause I’m a “bad man?”
I did what I had to do
can I - get a little empathy?
Put ya ten toes inside my shoes
And move like I - mean,
take walk with me,
try to see me
or who I am
not just the faults in me
You might identify,
Might even evolve with me
Love - you ever try to just talk to me?
Look,
I don’t bite
But let’s just keep it polite
The fact of the matter,
The bigger the badder
But sometimes just hype
PRE-CHORUS:
I’m “the Big Bad Wolf” they say,
“Why did you scare that girl away?”
You don’t even know me
So why you trying to tell me?
I tried and I tried
Misunderstandings really get to me
Take another deep breath
Calm the storm within your chest
When they go low you know the rest
CHORUS:
It’s times like this,
I ain’t acting like I know I should
You got me labeled, “Big Bad Wolf”
And now you got me howling at the moon.
CHORUS:
It’s times like this,
I ain’t acting like I know I should
You got me labeled, “Big Bad Wolf”
And now you got me howling at the moon.
BRIDGE:
I’ve been labeled something I’m not
I’ve been prejudged and it hurts me a lot
Now you don’t see me like I am just lost
I just need time to work out all these thoughts
Now you don’t see me like I am just lost
I just need time to work out all these thoughts
Yea hella mad but more than that
Feel like I never got a chance
And that’s just sad
PRE-CHORUS:
I’m “the Big Bad Wolf” they say,
“Why did you scare that girl away?”
You don’t even know me
So why you trying to tell me?

Peace Blockers
04:14
|
|||
V1:
There are three feelings
That block us from peace.
Preventing empathy,
Stopping us from connecting.
You might feel guilty
“I’m such a bad person,”
“I’m always hurting everyone else.”
CHORUS:
These are peace blockers
Stopping us from being ourselves
These are peace blockers
They hurt and they never help.
V2:
You might be defensive
“I didn’t do wrong here.”
Ignoring their thoughts
And their perspective.
You can blame someone
“Well it’s all your fault,”
“You did this to me.”
Giving away all your power.
CHORUS:
These are peace blockers
Stopping us from being ourselves
These are peace blockers
They hurt and they never help
These are peace blockers
Stopping us from being ourselves
These are peace blockers
They hurt and they never help
BRIDGE:
This can happen to anyone
Check n with yourself
Take a deep breath
“Am I feeling guilty, blaming, or defensive?”
CHORUS:
These are peace blockers
Stopping us from being ourselves
These are peace blockers
They hurt and they never help
These are peace blockers
Stopping us from being ourselves
These are peace blockers
They hurt and they never help
These are peace blockers
Stopping us from being ourselves
These are peace blockers
They hurt and they never help

With your eyes

Make sure you’re listening

When you can repeat it
Listen up!

BRIDGE:
I could use your help
I don’t think can do this by myself
V1:
I got something important to tell you
Gather around
I’d rather not shout it
Come in closer
And show me you hear me
Snap if you feel me
Clap if you with me
I know distractions can happen
Find your way back in
Ask your self

BRIDGE:
I could use your help
I don’t think can do this by myself
V2:
Yo, can I get a word from the wise?
To combat the rhythm
The myth
The lies
It’s like,
Talking to a crowd
Who can really hear you?
Surrounded by people
Do they really care?
How will I know?
Unless you’re willing to show
Open your heart and mind
And let your words flow
I will listen to you
And you will listen to me
Just by listening
We will spread peace
CHORUS:
Are you listening?
With your eyes
and your ears
Make sure you’re listening
With you heart

I know your listening
When you can repeat it
Listen up
‘Cause peace ain’t easy

With your eyes
And your ears
Make sure you’re listening

Assertiveness Song
02:36
|
|||
V1:
When you’re passive
You shrink back
And use a weak voice.
When you’re aggressive
You spread poison
And try to force a choice.
Assertive is the answer
It’s strong without being mean.
Stop the poison,
Spread peace.
Come on, let’s sing!
PRE-CHORUS:
It’s your body language,
What you say
And how you say it. (3X)
‘Cause your SUPERPOWER
Is assertiveness!
CHORUS:
Calm, cool, collected, confident and clear.
You gotta be calm, cool, collected confident
And clear.
V2:
It’s okay to say, “No,”
To a hurt person or a friend
And allies who can empathize
Are sure to lend a hand.
Do what you gotta do
As many times as it takes.
Respect.
Connect.
Protect your space!
PRE-CHORUS:
It’s your body language,
What you say
And how you say it. (3X)
‘Cause your SUPERPOWER
Is Assertiveness!
CHORUS:
Calm, cool, collected, confident and clear.
You gotta be calm, cool, collected confident
And clear.
Calm, cool, collected, confident and clear.
You gotta be calm, cool, collected confident
And clear.

CHORUS: (Χ4)
Fighting is not the solution.
Try conflict resolution.
V1:
Stop,
Cool off,
And take a deep breath.
When you get angry,
Don’t lose your head.
Tell each other
The way you feel.
Step back
And chill.
Don’t scream,
Don’t shout.
Use your words
To work it out.
CHORUS: (Χ4)
Fighting is not the solution.
Try conflict resolution.
V2:
Listen to each other.
Find out what you both need.
Stand in each other’s shoes.
Practice a little empathy.
Make a plan you both like
And go for it.
No problem ever gets solved
By fighting over it.
CHORUS: (X4)
Fighting is not the solution.
Try conflict resolution.
BRIDGE: (2X)
I’m going to use my I-Statements
I’m going to use it
I’m going to use it
V3:
I feel…
I feel so sad
When I…
When I’m singing all alone
Because I need…
Because I need community
And could you…
And could you sing with me?
BRIDGE:
I’m going to use my I-Statements
I’m going to use it
I’m going to use it
CHORUS: (X4)
Fighting is not the solution.
Try conflict resolution.
Oh, stand up!
Stand up for my brother
Oh, stand up!
Stand up for my sister
Oh, stand up!
Stand up for each other
Oh stand up!
Oh stand up!
Oh stand up!
Stand up to fight wars no more
Oh stand up!
Stand up whether rich or poor
Oh stand up!
Stand up for each other
Oh stand up!
Oh stand up!
Find a solution
Try conflict resolution (X4)

CHORUS
Fighting for what’s right in the world around me,
Improving my community.
Stopping injustice that you and I see
That’s Mosaic in Action.
Stand up assertively!
V1
We’re interconnected,
so, we’re allies to our friends.
We use our empathy to understand them.
We assertively protest,
When we see something wrong.
We walk out
or sit in
or even write a song!
CHORUS
Fighting for what’s right in the world around me
Improving my community!
Stopping injustice that you and I see
That’s being a “Mosaic citizen” to me!

What do you care about
and what are you going to do?
Raise your voice high and follow through
The government’s branches and leaders count on you
You have the tools
and the power to get them to listen to you!
BRIDGE
But it can be hard,
when I look around me
And hurt is what I see
Change isn’t easy
but together
We can see a world of equality!

Improving my community
Stopping injustice that you and I see
That’s “Mosaic in Action” to me!
