lyrics

In spite of what I told myself to not do I’m stressed out
Deep diaphragmatic breathing so I don’t bug the F—k out
Tapping into all the metaphysical
psychoanalytical
theoretical framework
Just to figure out
What’s going on?
What’s going wrong?
Where we going?
How we getting there?
And just how long will for take for them to break us?
Can’t shake us, we magic makers
Shift and flipping paradigms
That’s how we make it
That’s how we’ve made it
And we gon’ make it

Even in this storm, love’s here
Offering an invitation
to envision a way
Outside of everything we know

I woke one morning to a sleeping giant awakening
Resistance
echoed in every corner of this nation
eyes of the world turned this way
Once again and their waiting
to see what will eventually come
from all they’ve seen here
It’s plain to see fear
Will no longer rule as it has in the past
After everything we’ve seen
Dear
Fist in the air
Love to the beautiful ones
Fierce and strong
Right on time for this moment
And the awakening of a new dawn

Even in this storm, love’s here
Offering an invitation to envision a way
Outside of everything we know…
Envision a way, outside of everything we know
