Title Track: Inner Fire

ASCAP Registration #: 928995185

This is a rap about your liberty
It’s s’posed ta go from sea to shining sea
But look around, retch at what’s come to be
I write this song to teach how to be free

Must break free from the chains of debt
Track everywhere that your money is spent
Prioritize needs and soon you’ll be set
Consolidate accounts to make your best bet

Reclaim your time, take back your night
Set boundaries strong, ignore spite and shite
Prioritize self-care – be peaceful in your place
Embrace some solitude, nourish mental space

In this life, tend your inner fire
Nowhere else is passion and purpose for hire
So learn to nurture the depths of your heart
It keeps you authentic, ready to take part

Seek and find your tribe, gather them around
Best common ground? Where community love is found!
Seek out the spaces that feel best, most like home
Help community heal and within it find your own

If or when the po-po starts to surround
Remember your rights, together stand proud
Know what you must say, know what you can do
Assert your rights, protect others — see it through

When officers show up on the scene
Remember your rights, make your stance serene
‘I will remain silent,’ crisp and pristine
‘I want an attorney’, so they cannot demean (you)

In this life, tend your inner fire
Nowhere else is passion and purpose for hire
So learn to nurture the depths of your heart
It keeps you authentic, ready to take part

This will help you stand strong, though you can still sway
Reach for others in need or seek support, come what may
With strong community, one’s family and friends
Together all shall rise & liberty… defend

These seem like simple rules, but I tell you true
See to them & liberty waits for you
Help others do the same and community will, too
This path remains the same and it is tried and true….
