about

"Dancing a red line" is the 1st single from my upcoming album I love my Afro Ratchet Soul.

I felt the need to release it now because I believe now is the time we are being called to do more than ever before. I want this song to motivate, activate and enliven us to become more involved members of our communities...to make meaningful decisions and decisive movements that positively change this world we all so desperately need to be better than it currently is.

I invite you all to use your voices - in whatever ways empower you - to say yes and say no as fervently as you can.

Now is the time.

lyrics

VERSE 1
Get up on your feet and change what you see
We don't need no crowds, no picket signs - just follow me
Get up off your seat and change what you see
You don't need no signs, no marching shoes - just follow me

PRE-CHORUS
Kick ball change into the darkness
Don't be afraid what you see
Won't come out until we're righteous
Time to change up the beat
We've been dancing a red line
Anger swelling in the streets
May our strength and numbers increase

CHORUS
We say yes and we say no
Only way for me to get my freedom
We say when and we say how
Yes it's time for us to break 'way clean
(2x)

(INSTRUMENTAL BREAK 1)

VERSE 2
Follow me out to the front lines
Follow me down to DC
Follow me out of the madness
I am you and you are me

Lead us now away from the violence
Take the lead out of our feet
We've been sidelined bearing witness
Up your game, lace up your cleats

PRE-CHORUS
Kick ball change into the darkness
Don't be afraid what you see
Won't come out until we're righteous
Time to change up the beat
We've been dancing a red line
Anger swelling in the streets
May our strength and numbers increase

CHORUS
We say yes and we say no
Only way for me to get my freedom
We say when and we say how
Yes it's time for us to break 'way clean
(2x)

PRE-CHORUS
Kick ball change into the darkness
Don't be afraid what you see
Won't come out until we're righteous
Time to change up the beat
We've been dancing a red line
Anger swelling in the streets
May our strength and numbers increase

CHORUS
We say yes and we say no
Only way for me to get my freedom
We say when and we say how
Yes it's time for us to break 'way clean
(2x)

(INSTRUMENTAL BREAK 2)

BRIDGE
We say no
We say no
We say no
We say no

CHORUS
We say yes and we say no
Only way for me to get my freedom
We say when and we say how
Yes it's time for us to break 'way clean
(2x)
