about

"We're Called & We're Chosen", was created entirely by TCDSB teachers. The backing music was produced by Adrian Khan. Kristine Lamonday provides a poetic intro while Michael (MikeAll) Grandsoult, Dean (Nettz) Netto, Rachael (Rae-C) Chen-Netto, Andrew Gergely, and Severyn (Just Sev) Artymowycz provide raps. Rhodora (Rhedz) Meliton-Vanderpool sings the motivating hook throughout. The aforementioned artists are members of or affiliated with the Hip Hop Headucatorz. This uplifting anthem is a call to action. It especially enjoins Catholic educators to lead by example, showing and proving that we are Christians by our love!

lyrics

WE’RE CALLED & WE’RE CHOSEN

-INTRO-
[Kristine Lamonday]
In the depths of despair when I feel no one is there
I know God walks beside me
In the dark of the night and in the absence of light
I know He watches over me
In the midst of feeling lost pondering reward versus cost
I know He speaks to me
In the dazzling sunshine absolute peace in my mind
I know He lives within me

-VERSE 1-
[Michael "MikeAll" Grandsoult]
Lay a verse take ‘em to church Headucate faith first
Fan Holy Spirit flame make it surge
Thirst for living water gotta hold your cup
Christ pour springing offer well soak it up
Done know it's tough but keep hope afloat
Hold Cross to crossover holes like bridge to moat
Yo why should Catholic Ed be taught in school
So Common Sense pupils see the God in you

-HOOK-
[Rhodora "Rhedz" Vanderpool]
We’re called and we’re chosen
Have faith in God’s plans
We’re called and we’re chosen
Our hope is in God’s hands (2x)

-VERSE 2-
[Dean "Nettz" Netto]
Eh yo it’s Nettz and man I’m feeling blessed
I got one hand to the sky and the other on my chest
What I want is the best for these kids and to do that
Is to realize who they are where they from cue the chit chat
Heart speaks to heart body mind and soul connected
Infected by these words that keep you introspective
You gotta treat each other as equals to reach the people
Love ‘em once then coming back around like a sequel

[Rachael "Rae-C" Chen]
And now it’s Rae-C and I am here to do it for the youth
Changing up the flow like Clark Kent up in the booth
Opposite from west end, German and Jamaican
Everyone needs love even God's forsaken
Jesus, forgotten by his disciples
Still he preached on with a message- so insightful
Forgive them for they know not what they do
Dispel the hate embrace your faith that’ll get you through

-HOOK-
[Rhodora "Rhedz" Vanderpool]
We’re called and we’re chosen
Have faith in God’s plans
We’re called and we’re chosen
Our hope is in God’s hands (2x)

-VERSE 3-
[Andrew Gergely]
How do you recognize a Christian? That’s easy, by the love
You see we’re one in the Spirit, seeking guidance from above
Won’t cast the first stone, hypocrite to be a judge
As we forgive others, let go, won’t hold a grudge
By this, people will know, you’re one of his disciples
We follow rules like the seasons follow the cycles
From Advent, birth of the King, Resurrection
Forgive us our sins, we do the same with your direction

[Severyn "Just Sev" Artymowycz]
What does justice mean to all the hungry and the needy?
To all my people of this land who still be waiting on that treaty
Real change can break chains, but it don’t happen over night,
Justice may be blind but we still can’t lose sight,
Of all the people in the world caught in the middle of a fight,
Not for themselves, but standing up for what is right
I’m nobody’s judge, I leave that job up to the Heavens,
Real talk in book of Matthew, first line of chapter seven, check it

-HOOK-
[Rhodora "Rhedz" Vanderpool]
We’re called and we’re chosen
Have faith in God’s plans
We’re called and we’re chosen
Our hope is in God’s hands (2x)
