about

I recorded a women's choir singing the hymn "You Raise Me Up" - and for this track, I sampled the instruments from the hymn as well as one of the vocalists, Lizzie Hancock, for the hook and beat

lyrics

Oh dang look at this
No you can't make it up
Everyday there's new shit
It will never let up
Thicken up your skin
Cuz you have to be tough
Passing obstacles tests
Till you're practically nuts
Acting strange yeah you're
Actually sus
So I'm asking with patience
To pass me the blunt
Me I feel fine
I'm all happy and stuff
Just gotta keep an eye out
For sarsky and hutch
Cuz they shoot steal run over
Kidnap and jump
Rob you of your son
Then go out to lunch
Don't call it a hunch
It's the truth what I said
Look as soon as we fight back
They roll out the feds
Supposed to be dark
But it's so loud and red
Voted for hope but
Got sold out instead
We got covid and death
And war and distress
How the fuck we get stuck
Cleaning up the whole mess

Getting tired of the news
All the higher ups in suits
These elected officials
The shit that they do
Let's look at all the rights
That they grifted from you
Like let's kill an
Amendment or two
Free speech thrown
out and denied
Right to bear arms
Just applies if you're white
And even then only if
You're on their side
If you try to see the light
They will aim between your eyes
Police never serve and protect
They hurt and arrest
Steal our taxes for checks
Hate in their mind and ice
In their chests
And they work for the rest
Of these pests don't forget
There's no blue vs red
It's not worst vs best that's
An optical illusion like
That white and gold dress
Do you want a revolution
Folks say I don't know I guess
I wanted decent healthcare
And water without lead
