HIT ME HARD AND SOFT (full album) 💙💙💙💙

"The New Plantation" is a provocative and reflective piece that explores the historical parallels between two significant human rights debates in America: slavery and abortion. The song examines how society has grappled with defining who is entitled to human rights, drawing comparisons between the dehumanization of slaves in the past and the debates surrounding the humanity of the unborn today.

Through raw lyrics and poignant imagery, the track challenges listeners to consider how history repeats itself when power, choice, and human rights collide. It’s not about taking sides but highlighting the uncomfortable similarities and inviting thought-provoking discussion. The goal is to encourage reflection on how society often denies humanity to the most vulnerable and to question how future generations might view these decisions.

[Verse 1]
"My body, my choice," the rallying cry,
But whose life ends when you decide?
The chains of the past echo once more,
A life declared property, behind closed doors.

Slave or unborn, they share the fate,
Their lives decided by another’s hate.
They called it ownership, you call it rights,
But the blood runs red in both these fights.

[Pre-Chorus]
You say it’s yours, this power to choose,
But it’s not your body that’s paying the dues.

[Chorus]
Welcome to the new plantation,
Where the voiceless are denied salvation.
A life is stolen, erased with a voice,
It’s not your body, 
it’s not your choice.
They are the new nameless,
The nameless of the new plantation

[Verse 2]
The masters once said, "They’re not fully human,"
Just tools to be used, stripped of union.
Today you say, "It’s just a clump of cells,"
The same hollow lie that history tells.

If another takes it, you call it a crime,
But your own hands erase, and that’s just fine.
Hypocrisy screams in the silent halls,
A life denied behind righteous walls.

[Pre-Chorus]
You say it’s yours, this power to choose,
But it’s not your body that’s paying the dues.

[Chorus]
Welcome to the new plantation,
Where the voiceless are denied salvation.
A life is stolen, erased with a voice,
It’s not your body, 
it’s not your choice.
They are the new nameless,
The nameless of the new plantation

[Bridge]
My body, my choice, but the lie is clear—
The body destroyed was never yours to steer.
Another heartbeat silenced, another life sold,
The same cruel story, centuries old.

[Verse 3]
You argue for freedom, you argue for rights,
But freedom ends where another life begins.
The chains are invisible, but the weight is the same,
A life erased under the guise of no blame.

You stand on justice, but your stance is hollow,
Denying the truth that history follows.
A choice for one, a death for another,
The cycle repeats—will you ever discover?

[Chorus - Extended]
Welcome to the new plantation,
Where the voiceless are denied salvation.
A life is stolen, erased with a voice,
It’s not your body, it’s not your choice.
Another heartbeat silenced, a future denied,
A modern echo of slavery’s lies.
They are the new nameless,
The nameless of the new plantation

[Outro]
The fields of blood grow with every choice,
Silencing the future, 
denying a voice.
The chains remain, 
the masters still rule,
Freedom for some, 
but not for the womb.
It’s not your body, 
it’s not your choice,
A life was stolen—you silenced their voice.
The new plantation thrives today,
Its victims unseen, its bloodstains remain.
They are the new nameless,
The nameless of the new plantation
The New Plantation!
