INTRO 
LEFT, LEFT, LEFT, LEFT!!!!

(Zhalarina) 
I SAID GUNNY I’M HURT LIKE 
NEW PLAN, NEW HAND, NO WORK  I’M TIRED OF THE SAME OLD DANCE TRYNA VIBE WHEN I KNOW I CAN’T 

CHORUS
Ain’t no sense in hiding where you at/ 
(AAHH-OOOH!) 
Call up GUNNY, I got your front, your side, your back/
You’re ready-made for this day 
And your life ain’t ever known lack 
now throw a grenade in this cave/
Make a mountain grow a new path/ 
(AAHH-OOOH!)

VERSE ONE 
I mean to say it broke me not/ 
my nephew call me paramedic cause I’m/ 
cruising with the open shot/ 
Look here, the benefit of a good drown
is seeing hope float/
Baby wallet on soaked loaf/ 
I started measuring my pleasure in living/
after beginning a descent into bad sprints and a broke run/ 
my locs thinning, the doctor say that my spine shifting/
I should break the mileage/ 
but she don’t know what I’m running from/ 

I pray to God through a clenched fist/ 
If He playing, I must be bout to see him at intermission/  
Caught a valley and a split chin/
when He made my perfection His business/
I’mma take two bunny steps to the right alright?/
Scooch for the goon with the room to fight/
I’m calling for help like it's gon' jump out the manger/
Cause I ain’t run up a mountain to become a cliffhanger/
oh

CHORUS
Ain’t no sense in hiding where you at/ 
(AAHH-OOOH!) 
Call up GUNNY, I got your front, your side, your back/
You’re ready-made for this day 
And your life ain’t ever known lack 
now throw a grenade in this cave/
Make a mountain grow a new path/ 
(AAHH-OOOH!)
 
VERSE TWO 
I don’t even know I don’t wanna receive help/ 
Drive standing so I don’t inconvenience the seatbelt/ 
You and me? Well, we know bout Yeshua 3 nails/ 
the way He felt, n***as would call Him a "female"/ 
So for me? Tell? Rina gon' spare every detail/ 
cause the bar could not be steeper when speaking for retail/
But ’m hurting in my Birkin and trying to be well/ 
that’s like cuffing a vitamin and trying to B12 
yo
I’m finally dying to grieve well/ 
throw my pride to the water and pray it don’t beach whales/ 
Holy, Holy, Holy, Holy/
I call for my GUNNY/
You can press Him with a thorn but He still coming for me/
Almost said a vow in Spanish
I like to repeat L’s/ 
But He popped shame, I can remember the heat smell/
I’m kind to each fail, I find the meek trail/ 

BRIDGE
The mountain is that continual journey
that we find ourselves on 
We’re not walking a flat terrain 
It might go from a 45-degree angle to a 90-degree angle 
But I’ve got a lot of tools 
And I’m able to reach out to somebody 
who can reinforce and support me 
That’s another tool 


CHORUS
Ain’t no sense in hiding where you at/ 
(AAHH-OOOH!) 
Call up GUNNY, I got your front, your side, your back/
You’re ready-made for this day 
And your life ain’t ever known lack 
now throw a grenade in this cave/
Make a mountain grow a new path/ 
(AAHH-OOOH!)

GUNNY

Is the World Cruel or is it just White?

Will it ever change?

How is changed defined?

Who gets to decide?

Greater good or creating change---are they real or some veiled gospel of prosperity that’s mostly self interested and leaves us, the “change makers” at the center of it?

Examples 
Jeff bezos
Anne Hathaway
HRC
Non profits—origin of non profits, where did they come from? Why do we need them? A way to pacify activists and neutralize grassroots movements and embed them into the same oppressive institutions they were formed to absolve?

Are we a less radical generation than before us? Do we just have more words to describe fucked up shit?


Maybe we just gotta call shit what it is, be clear and explicit by what we mean dismantle white supremacy 

Join us in our attempt to make sense of the swirl.
