recorded walking the streets after a kill the bill protest (jan 2022)

you wanna know what I was seeing
breathing in, what I believed in
the prophecies I was preaching
bee-buzzing and brewing
like black coffee on high-heat
well I don't wanna go there
no way, the road it leads to nowhere sunny...

I had returned home to Dominica for 3 months after losing all hope in the world, and emerged a version of myself I hadn't seen in a long time. On the train to Manchester to perform at a 'Bad Bitch Cabaret' fundraiser and see my friends for the first time in months, I wrote this song, using the notebook into which I poured out my Soul, flicking the pages like a tarot deck. 

LYRICS
To do Hope
To do Home
To do Discipline, a Disciple
Why are you in Hell?
How do you see whilst Fleeing
Hunt while Hiding
I saw, a little picture of Hell once

It went a little bit like this
A white erase mist
making mirrors in their mind
Til eyes start to blind
And no refuge from the Sun
Or water, wind, fire, earth
What a lotta death and not a lotta rebirth
Returning to church to do my research
I saw a pretty little picture of Hell once

Heartbroken by the world
Head like jackal
Hands in shackles
Down down down the steps we go
Down down all the way to tokin' hole
Take it in
Have a happy birth big blow
Let your cheeks hold the riverflow
Let your fingers take you to an overflow
Let it go
Let it go
Let it go
let it go
let it go 
LET IT GO

What you wanna do, let it take over you
What you wanna do, let it take over you
What you wanna do, let it take over you
What you wanna do, let it take over you

making sounds out n about, have no idea wha I'm saying, the only word I could pick out was constellation but I like the sounds

Constellation

I wrote this for my friends film which was a queering of a traditional Ghanaian naming ceremony. The film is named after the main character DZIFA - it mean peace.

I call on Mami Wata of Ghana
And the Ezili family of Haiti
To protect and carry Dzifa
To let them know their worth and power
As they navigate this life to prosper 
Let the noontide guide in their ation
Let the Spirit navigate their attraction
Let no violence lead to distraction
It's a chain reaction
A changing abstraction
Leading to power manifestation 
A chain reaction
It's a chain reaction
A chain reaction
It's a chain reaction
A chain reaction

DZIFA

FUCK CREEPY MEN. FUCK WANKERS WANKING AT ME ON THE BUS. FUCK USING TRAUMA TO ABUSE PEOPLE. FUCK YOUR NEGATIVE ENERGIES. I'M HERE FOR PEACE - AND I;M NOT EVEN A FUCKING WOMAN

BODIES ON BODIES ON BODIES
TAKING TAKING TAKING TAKING
BODIES ON BODIES ON BODIES 
TAKING TAKING TAKING TAKE
BODIES ON BODIES ON BODIES
TAKING TAKING TAKING TAKING
SOMEBODY'S CALLING ME GOTTA TAKE IT
*SCREAM*

IT'S THE MEN IN MY WINDOW 
THEY WANNA SEE ME NAKED NAKED NAKED
SHIVERS FROM DIRTY DAGGERS
HEXING ON MY EXPRESSION
ON THE BUS WITH A WANKER
BUSTING ON MY SELF-PERCEPTION
IMMA BUST DOWN THE DOOR
BURSTING YOUR BALLS AND ERECTION
YES I LOOK GOOD LIKE THIS
YES I CAN SHAKE MY HIPS
YES I MIGHT BE YOUR DREAM SIREN SCREAMING
"FUCK MY TITS"
BUT WANKER LISTEN IN
PRAY YOU NEVER CROSS ME AGAIN
COS WHILE YOU'RE ---- :P
I'M LEARNING --------- 
BOOOOOOOOOM
