Speak My Mind
03:31

This isn’t where I thought we would be
Half a decade deep celebrating white supremacy
Fear is an easy sell, like reality TV
Evangelicals chose the candidate of bigotry, the hypocrisy
Privilege is ignition
It burns in the alt-right
These are people who think women should be in kitchens
These are people still against miscegenation who think white men are maligned
And they speak their minds
So I’ll speak mine
When you politicize reproductive rights
You threaten the lives of people that I love
When your immigration line is that it’s deportation time
You threaten to destroy families that I love
Dr. King dreamed about equality this morning I woke up and I felt like that dream died
The successor to my county’s first black president
Is a KKK supported climate change denying misogynist who lies
Seventy two percent of the time
It still makes me cry
What do you say to the kids that wake up today
Who aren’t Christian, white, able-bodied, and straight
It’s hard to teach them to love even in dissent
When ridicule is embraced by the president
So now we’re standing in the present naval gazing at the past
Depending on where you’re standing
It might not look that bad, if that’s the case you’ve been had
We can never go back
This isn’t where I thought we would be
Half a decade deep celebrating white supremacy

Moving Me

I might have sent you the wrong message
When I didn’t try to kiss you
But darling I wanted to taste your mouth
And feel your body soften as I pulled you closer to me
And gently laid you down onto the couch
Breathing heavy for the first time
Touch your skin you start to moan
The heat could burn the house down on its own
Moving in rhythm like you’re moving me
With that angel voice and those guitar strings
Moving in rhythm like you’re moving me
Moving in rhythm like you’re moving me
Don’t know why the trepidation
Like I didn’t want to kiss you
Like I just came around to share some songs
Not speaking aloud about your beauty
Your eyes that cut right through me
Wishing you could teach me to be strong
Breathing heavy for the first time
Touch your skin you start to moan
The heat could burn the house down on its own
Moving in rhythm like you’re moving me
With that angel voice and those guitar strings
Moving in rhythm like you’re moving me
Moving in rhythm like you’re moving me
Moving in rhythm like you’re moving me
Moving in rhythm like you’re moving me
Moving in rhythm like you’re moving me

One More American

I live in America
The home of the free and the brave
Where a 28 year old black woman
Can be jailed for not signaling
One more American
One more American
Goes down
I live in America
The home of the free and the brave
Where Louisiana badges shot a man already captive
With a gun fired at point blank range
One more American
One more American
Gone now
I live in America
The home of the free and the brave
Where the public executions don’t involve the institutions
Just the impulse of the police
One more American
One more American
Taken out
Stand up for Sandra Bland
Stand up for Alton Sterling
Stand up for Eric Garner from the policemen circling
Stand up in New York City
Stand up in every town
Stand up for lost forgotten ones
Stand up for Michael Brown
I live in America
The home of the free and the brave
