Hot for the Mountain
Rising Above: Embracing Challenges and Unity in Natalie Prass's 'Hot for the Mountain'
Lyrics
No, no, we don't hold back
We do not hold back.
We step to the rhythm of a new track
We move to the beat of a new track.
Plateau, no way, we're hot for the mountain
We reject settling for a plateau; we are enthusiastic about challenges.
No, no, we don't take that
We do not accept that (whatever is being resisted).
Break down the door
We break barriers and obstacles.
And we'll beat a path
We create our own path and move forward.
And go the way we see as less crowded
We choose a less crowded path that aligns with our vision.
So let us raise a toast
We celebrate and honor those we love.
To the ones we love the most
Toasting to our most cherished ones.
Have no fear, come in here
Fear not, come join us; we make everyone feel welcome.
We will make you feel at home
We create a sense of belonging and comfort.
So let us raise a glass
Raising a glass to the future and the past.
To the future and the past
Continuing to celebrate and shake things up.
Keep on shaking
Persisting until we break barriers.
Till we break it
No one will endure forever.
Ain't nobody's gonna last
(Reiteration of not holding back)
No, we don't hold back
-Break down the door
Breaking barriers and forging our own path.
We'll beat a path
Encouraging others to stand up and be counted.
So will you stand up and be counted?
Are you willing to be recognized for who you are?
We'll take you on
Expressing confidence and readiness to face challenges head-on, with a repeated assertion of capability.
We can take you all, hey
-We'll take you on
-We can take you all, hey
-We'll take you on
-We can take you all, hey
-We'll take you on
-We can take you all
-No, no we can't lose touch
We must not lose connection or contact.
Don't step away when they're treating us
Staying together when facing mistreatment or challenges.
Cold, ice water from the fountain
Resisting the cold and unwelcome treatment, like water from a fountain.
No, no, now is it too much
(Reiteration of resistance)
To ask for things they ain't giving us
Questioning the lack of what is deserved.
No, no, now tell what you know about it
Challenging others to share their knowledge about the situation.
So let us raise a toast
(Reiteration of celebration and shaking things up, with emphasis on impermanence)
To the ones we love the most
-Have no fear, come in here
-We will make you feel at home
-So let us raise a glass
-To the future and the past
-Keep on shaking
-Till we break it
-Ain't nobody's gonna last
-Slowly rising up
Emphasizing a gradual rise, potentially metaphorical for progress or empowerment.
Slowly rising up
-Slowly rising up
-Slowly rising up
-We'll take you on
(Repetition of readiness to face challenges and take on anything)
We can take you all, hey
-We'll take you on
-We can take you all, hey
-We'll take you on
-We can take you all, hey
-We'll take you on
-We can take you all, hey
-We'll take you on
-We can take you all, hey
-We'll take you on
-We can take you all, hey
-We'll take you on
-We can take you all, hey
-We'll take you on
-We can take you all, hey
(Closing assertion of capability)
