Anthem

This is about spreading love
Divine Mercy
Declaring Identity
Waking up to Reality
Recognizing Humanity
Breaking silence
I say to you 
I am that woman
This is about spreading love
Your negativity being 
An exercise in futility 
Living within selective memory
I rise above
This is about spreading love
Remembering tender loins
Loins of sorrow and of pain
Stress of loins in prisons 
Loins of warrior queens
Unclothed, naked, bleeding life’s marrow
Giving birth to tomorrow
When the sun has yet to shine today
Darkness
Black as my insides
Wearing them outside
Cloaked in anger black as sin
I am that NGH that bitch that criminal
Outcast and invisible
Seeking to pierce hearts of stone
Facing demons of the past
Is not easy alone
So where my negas at?
Silence
I am that silence waiting to be heard
This my declaration of doubt and despair
That is caused by the duality and dichotomy
Of definitive absolutes of which
I demand change!
I demand the karmic wheel of life
Be recognized instead of stigmatized 
It has been perverted and traumatized
Subverted while we remain hypnotized
By a symbol
A broken cross
Time to wake up and face reality
God is dead at the hands of humanity
All that remains is the commodity 
Slaves of addiction there is no sympathy 
Imprisoned by image
Am I still free to imagine
Truth at the heart of a body
Any body
All hearts bleed red
Yet there is a shortage of blood
From lack of circulation stimulation excitation provocation
This is about spreading love
So go on, break the silence
Declaring identity is not a felony
I say to you
I am that jew I am that cunt I am that queer 
Undesirables chained by fear
Break the cycle break the chain
Break the fear and break the pain
Nows the time for liberation
Within self-actualization 
Awaken every nation
Worldwide revelation
Ending all discrimination
