Our new Detroit 2020 Anthem is the work of a band called Rock Nation.  They are all home-grown Detroiters with a deep love for their city.

MEET THE MEN BEHIND OUR MUSIC

APRIL 17 2012 

When the Detroit 2020 team decided music could be an interesting way to left the spirit of Detroit and its suburbs, we remembered a song we heard when a young man sent us a link to YouTube.

The song was called “Turn It Around” and the group performing it, Rock Nation, was obviously a group of talented musicians.  What we didn’t know at the time, was how special these young Detroiters are.  We interviewed them each, along with their manager/publicist, for a story we planned to introduce the music video.  We used small pieces of the interviews in the story, but people who heard the interviews told us we should make more of the material available.  We agree.

Meet the members of Rock Nation.

CEDRIC BERRY – BASS & SONGWRITER

DeJAUGHN MURPHY – VOCALS

DeVAUGHN MURPHY – VOCALS & SONGWRITER

DOUGLAS NOLAN MERSIER  – BASS

JAMES WITCHER – LEAD GUITAR

TURN IT AROUND — THE LYRICS

APRIL 17 2012 

Turn It Around

Rock Nation

Let’s get it together

And make a change

And make a change

All around the world let’s get it together

Let’s turn this thing around.

 

Is anybody else fed up?

Well, go ahead and stand up

And take your rightful place, yeah.

‘Cuz it’s too late to point fingers

What we need is a helping hand

And spread this love all across the land, yeah yeah.

 

So you do your part

And Ima do mine

And everything will

be all right.

 

God will take us higher,

Hate will pull us down.

Let’s join together and turn this thing around.

 

Turn it around.

Let’s turn it around.

There ain’t nothing to it.

You know we can do it.

All you gotta do is believe.

 

The boy flow that be cold as Michigan weather.

It’s good to finally see my people sticking together.

Motown city needs change.

Ima bring that

Spreading peace around the “D”

From here to where you hang at.

It’s about time that we help out the community.

Leave behind the violence and replace it with some unity.

The youth need role models, sisters and brothers.

Let’s turn it around ‘cuz all we got is each other.

 

Let’s get it together and make a change.

All around the world

Let’s get it together

Let’s make the change.

Let’s turn this thing around.

Man, woman, boy and girl

Let’s change the world.
