about

Aloha Ohana,
Please receive this song as an offering to help clear and heal our collective shadow. May this gift serve to honor George Floyd, Ahmaud Aubrey, and all of our precious brothers and sisters who have been victimized, traumatized, brutalized, and died at the hands of injustice. We will never forget the painful sacrifice you and your families have made. Let the light of your truth illuminate the change that has been needed for so very long. We can do better than this, Family. We can do better than this.

Infinite & Unconditional Love Abounding,
Turquoise

lyrics

I’m shovin' aphids and orchids down the barrel of a buckshot
To save from pushing daisies up from just above the bed rock
No need to send me any blue azure forget-me-nots
An anthem of chrysanthemums ain’t stop Coretta Scott
Posies and corpses feather rings around the bus stop
Ghosts that haunt the streets at night are children the dead cops
If I die from poverty don’t let it be in vain
If they shoot me in the back pls don’t forget my name

I can’t breath
I can’t breath mama

I’ve got my hands in the air
I’ve got my hands in the air Mama!

Indictments and convictions feel like bandaids over bullet wounds
Camera and a vest, but still a butterfly is bulletproof
You tell me "all lives matter" just to keep the change at bay
Send your thoughts and prayers on twitter and just hope it goes away
I am not the one you you’re here to protect and to serve
I give you forgiveness, but you get what you deserve
Protest is the language of a people gone unheard
I just need your action; I don’t need another word

I can’t breathe
I can’t breath Mama x2

Don’t riot. Be tranquil.
Take crumbs and be thankful for political promises
No courage, just silence
Meet violence with violence and platitudes of patriots
We can’t heal! We can’t heal!

This is a system! Why won’t you listen?
I’m am resisting! I’m am resisting!

Ring around the Rosie
Pocket fulla posies
Ashes to ashes we all fall down
But we rise from the ashes like the phoenix profound

Ring around the Rosie
Pocket fills posies
Ashes to ashes we all fall down
We rise cause you can’t keep a phoenix long down"
