    Why did you choose the song?

    With the events at the capitol and my own life's events, I can't forget that I am not different than you going through similar issues.

    What mood were you in before/after the song?

    Disappointed in myself for the late pushout and happy that I was overcoming my struggles despite still having many.

    Would you be willing to Karaoke or sing-a-long?

    I am not silent on this episode as you will notice in the intro (loud) and in some of the recordings I am forgetting not to sing-a-long.

    Please specify the lyrics that motivated you:

    All of them.

    Holy G:

    It was early one morning
    Just about the break of day
    When Jesus came & he touched me
    And then he washed my tears away
    I started running, I started shouting
    There was no room for doubting
    Oh I (Choir) I got nothing but the Holy Ghost

    Andra:

    You're broken down and tired
    Of living life on a merry go round
    And you can't find the fighter
    But I see it in you so we gonna walk it out
    And move mountains
    We gonna walk it out
    And move mountains

    And I'll rise up

    I'll rise like the day
    I'll rise up
    I'll rise unafraid
    I'll rise up
    And I'll do it a thousand times again
    And I'll rise up
    High like the waves
    I'll rise up
    In spite of the ache
    I'll rise up
    And I'll do it a thousand times again

    WSO:
    We'll walk hand in hand, someday
    Oh, deep in my heart
    I do believe
    We shall overcome, someday
    We shall live in peace
    We shall live in peace
    We shall live in peace, someday
    Oh, deep in my heart
    I do believe
    We shall overcome, someday
    We are not afraid
    We are not afraid
    We are not afraid, today

    https://youtu.be/Y_rl4ZGdy34 - White Privilege II by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis
    Why did you choose the song? Melanin levels define levels of allowed hypocrisy in a country that claims to be one nation under God.
    What mood were you in before/after the song? Frustrated and agitated but overjoyed by #GEORGIA!
    Would you be willing to Karaoke or sing-a-long? I am Vocal on this episode!
    Please specify the lyrics that motivated you: All of them. However, if you could please watch the videos... Here's Macklemore's 
    White Privilege II
    Pulled into the parking lot, parked it
    Zipped up my parka, joined the procession of marchers
    In my head like, "is this awkward?
    Should I even be here marching?"
    Thinking if they can't, how can I breathe?
    Thinking that they chant, what do I sing?
    I want to take a stance 'cause we are not free
    And then I thought about it, we are not "we"
    Am I in the outside looking in, or am I in the inside looking out?
    Is it my place to give my two cents?
    Or should I stand on the side and shut my mouth?
    "No justice, no peace, " okay, I'm saying that
    They're chanting out, "black lives matter, " but I don't say it back
    Is it okay for me to say? I don't know, so I watch and stand
    In front of a line of police that look the same as me
    Only separated by a badge, a baton, a can of Mace, a mask
    A shield, a gun with gloves and hands that gives an alibi
    In case somebody dies behind a bullet that flies out of the nine
    Takes another child's life on sight Blood in the streets, no justice, no peace
    No racist beliefs, no rest 'til we're free
    There's blood in the streets, no justice, no peace
    No racist beliefs, no rest 'til we're free
    Damn, a lot of opinions, a lot of confusion, a lot of resentment
    Some of us scared, some of us defensive
    And most of us aren't even paying attention
    It seems like we're more concerned with being called racist
    Then we actually are with racism
    We want to dress like, walk like, talk like, dance like, yet we just stand by
    We take all we want from black culture, but will we show up for black lives?
    We want to dress like, walk like, talk like, dance like, yet we just stand by
    We take all we want from black culture, but will we show up for black lives?

    MIDDLE CHILD:
    Niggas been countin' me out
    I'm countin' my bullets, I'm loadin' my clips
    I'm writin' down names, I'm makin' a list
    I'm checkin' it twice and I'm gettin' 'em hit
    The real ones been dyin', the fake ones is lit
    The game is off balance, I'm back on my shit
    The Bentley is dirty, my sneakers is dirty
    But that's how I like it, you all on my dick
    I'm all in my bag, this hard as it get
    I do not snort powder, I might take a sip
    I might hit the blunt, but I'm liable to trip
    I ain't poppin' no pill, but you do as you wish
    I roll with some fiends, I love 'em to death
    I got a few mil' but not all of them rich
    What good is the bread if my niggas is broke?
    What good is first class if my niggas can't sit?
    That's my next mission, that's why I can't quit
    Just like LeBron, get my niggas more chips
    A LOT;
    How much money you got? (A lot)
    How many problems you got? (A lot)

    Fuck around with these thots (A lot)
    Every day that I'm alive, I'ma ride with the stick
    I'd rather be broke in jail than be dead and rich
    Told my brothers take my breath if I turn to a snitch
    But I'm 21 4L, ain't no way I'ma switch
    Break it on down, I break it on down
    I break it on down, I break it on down
    Yeah, I just came from the A
    I drove back home, six hour drive, six and a half
    Before I left I stopped by to
    See my nigga 21 in the studio

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_Zn7Cqe6ZM&ab_channel=LennyWilliams-Topic - Cause I Love You by Lenny Williams

    Why did you choose the song?

    I chose Superwoman by Karyn White first because well because couples have days, weeks, months, sometimes years where they take each other for granted.

    I chose Lenny's Cause I love you... I will always consider this healing.

    What mood were you in before/after the song?

    The lyrics of Superwoman speak from the heart.

    Would you be willing to Karaoke or sing-a-long?

    Sorry, but you will not have to put up with me on this one.

    Please specify the lyrics that motivated you:

    Superwoman:

    I fought my way through the rush hour

    Trying to make it home just for you
    I want to make sure that your dinner will be waiting for you
    But when you get there you just tell me
    You're not hungry at all
    You said you'd rather read the paper
    And you don't want to talk

    You'd like to think I'm just crazy

    When I say that you've changed
    I'm convinced I know the problem
    You don't love me the same
    You're just going through the motions
    And you're not being fair
    I've got my pride
    I will not cry
    Still I can't help but care

    Ooh baby, look into the corners of your mind

    I'll always be there for you
    Through good and bad times
    But I can't be that Superwoman that you want me to be
    I'll give my love, oh lasting love
    If you'll return love to me

    I'm not your Superwoman

    I'm not the kind of girl that you can let down
    And think that everything's okay
    Boy, I am only human
    This girl needs more than occasional hugs
    As a token of love from you to me

    Cause I Love You:

    you know I love you

    No matter what you do
    And I hope you understand me
    Every word I say is true
    ?Cause I love you

    Baby, I?m thinkin? of you

    Tryin? to be more of a man for you
    And I don?t have much riches
    But we gonna see it through
    ?Cause I love you

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccHrgxsO9z0&ab_channel=B.B.King-Topic -  Why I Sing The Blues by B.B. King 

    Why did you choose the song? Inspired by listening to the old school music, tire of fake people, lovin the advice I'm getting. Plus realized why I take things personally no one truly knows me. hence why my raps get a little deep. But if you were a jerk don't belittle the transaction, I'll forgive the request for forgiveness but do not ask me to not see you. I can be a bitch as well call me out get it done with.  

    What mood were you in before/after the song? Did not feel like driving and just once again felt misunderstood or like well my truths would never be told to my son nor anyone really because no one listens. thus brought me back to these classics.  

    Would you be willing to Karaoke or sing-a-long? Sorry, but you will not have to put up with me on this one.
