14. I CAN DO THAT TOO (BITCH)

We came back and while we were gone someone packaged what we built and sold it without us in the room. Track fourteen is country pop because if you are going to take from everybody at least admit you took from us too. And then you come back and the new kids who built their whole look on what you created look at you like you are the one who does not belong here. The copy does not recognize the original. Not angry, not bitter, just accurate. We built everything you are selling. We can do that too. We have always been able to do that too. The bitch is in the title for a reason. https://sites.google.com/view/ballroom-is-dead/ballroom-is-dead

9. DON'T KILL MY SISTER

The morning is here and real life means real danger for real people. Track nine is direct because the subject requires it and it lives in hip hop soul R&B because that genre has always been the one that said the things everyone else was afraid to say. Trans women in this community built the ballroom scene. They were mothers, icons, legends, and the backbone of houses before anyone outside these rooms knew our names. The violence against them is not separate from the culture. It is inside the culture and the culture has to say something about it. Silence on this is not an option. https://sites.google.com/view/ballroom-is-dead/ballroom-is-dead

THE REVOLUTION WILL BE LIVE STREAMED

written by VJ PUMPDABEAT

In Tokyo they walking at midnight

Giving face in the neon light

In Lagos the children are serving

Every category every night

In Paris they strutting down the runway

In Seoul they posing til the morning comes

In London they walking for the culture

In Berlin they giving every single one

Ten across the board in São Paulo

Standing ovation in Madrid

Every city found the floor eventually

And gave it everything they did

Walk for it, strut for it

Pose for it, give it all

Walk for it, strut for it

The whole world's at the ball

The revolution will be live streamed

Everybody walking in the name

The revolution will be live streamed

Every city giving all the same

Strut it out, pose it out

Give it all in the name

The revolution will be live streamed

And the whole world came

In Moscow they dipping in the cold

In Amsterdam they walking bold

In Melbourne they serving past midnight

In Taipei they giving tens of gold

In Bogotá they posed for the cameras

In Santiago they walked the floor all night

In Cape Town they gave it everything

In Nairobi bringing it to light

No translation needed

The body speaks the language

Every floor the same instruction

Walk, strut, pose, give

Walk for it, strut for it

Pose for it, give it all

Walk for it, strut for it

The whole world's at the ball

The revolution will be live streamed

Everybody walking in the name

The revolution will be live streamed

Every city giving all the same

Strut it out, pose it out

Give it all in the name

The revolution will be live streamed

And the whole world came

TOKYO walk

LAGOS walk

PARIS walk

SEOUL walk

SÃO PAULO give it

LONDON give it

BERLIN give it

MOSCOW give it

From every screen to every floor

From every floor to every screen

The culture traveled and it landed

And they walked it like they always knew

The revolution will be live streamed

Everybody walking in the name

The revolution will be live streamed

Every city giving all the same

Strut it out, pose it out

Give it all in the name

The revolution will be live streamed

And the whole world came

Walk for it, strut for it

Pose for it, in the name

Walk for it, strut for it

The whole world came

16. GRANT MONEY, GRANT PROBLEMS

Track sixteen is the grant. A voice and an acoustic guitar and nothing else, because sometimes the most political thing you can do is strip everything away and make people sit with the words. Track fifteen was what you paid to get here. Track sixteen is what arrived. The grant money came. The problems came with it. Both are true. https://sites.google.com/view/ballroom-is-dead/ballroom-is-dead

17. STILL HERE

After all of it, the ball that got cut short, the missing clips, the house meeting, the legends coasting, the copies, the cameras, the clipboards, the grants, the grief, track seventeen is the last word. In jungle and drum and bass because that genre has always been about survival at high speed. Every diagnosis, every eviction, every system that said no, every morning that was harder than the one before it, and still here. Not because it was easy. Not because we were fearless. Because the beat was still going and we got up anyway. Please listen to this album in order.

11. COME FROM BEHIND

The house meeting surfaced the real issue and track eleven takes it outside. This is full WWF level confrontation, wet hair, sweating on the mic, one icon calling out another icon directly while the house kids stand back and let it blow over because this is not their fight and they know it. Ballroom and wrestling have always shared the same theatrical DNA. The entrance, the character, the crowd that already knows the beef before anyone says a word. Arena rock because this needed to be that loud and that sweaty and that specific. We have love for where you have been. The floor is wide open. Get on it. https://sites.google.com/view/ballroom-is-dead/ballroom-is-dead

10. HOUSE MEETING

You spent the day doing what you have to do in the real world, trans activism, community work, survival, whatever it takes to make your life operate. Now you come home to the house and the house has its own meeting to run. Track ten is built in contemporary gospel because house meetings are church and always have been. The agenda is real, the accountability is real, and somewhere in the middle of it the conversation turns to the legends and icons who have gone quiet. The floor is still moving. Your name and your title are not enough anymore. Come prepared. Bring your receipts. https://sites.google.com/view/ballroom-is-dead/ballroom-is-dead

8. AFTER WE BALL

The ball is over, the clips are posted, the critiques are in, and now it is two, three, four in the morning and the night took a turn in the best way. Track eight is that morning after energy, the good kind, when the sun is coming up and real life is about to start again. It lives in neo-soul jazz because that is the only genre that understands how to hold joy and exhaustion in the same breath. You have to carry it back out into the world with you and this track is that walk. https://sites.google.com/view/ballroom-is-dead/ballroom-is-dead

6. BQ WORK FOR IT

Track six lives in trap soul R&B because that sound understands what it means to be precise and emotional at the same time, which is exactly what butch queen performance has always been. The lyrics are the same as track seven because the standard is the same. What changes is who is delivering them and what that body means on that floor. The grand prize does not come because of your name or your lineage. It comes because you worked for it in front of everybody. This track is the admonishment and the invitation at the same time. https://sites.google.com/view/ballroom-is-dead/ballroom-is-dead
