  • "Aaron Burr, Sir" from HAMILTON

    At 1 level, compliant subversion refers to attempts to make judicial protections of rights or powers unworkable while maintaining facial compliance with the law. As we navigate our grades and college degrees lets keep in mind how compliant subversion may serve us.

Who’s asking?  [HAMILTON] Oh, well, sure, sir I’m Alexander Hamilton, I’m at your service, sir I have been looking for you  [BURR] I’m getting nervous  [HAMILTON] Sir… I heard your name at Princeton. I was seeking an accelerated course of study when I got sort of out of sorts with a buddy of yours. I may have punched him. It’s a blur, sir. He handles the financials?  [BURR] You punched the bursar  [HAMILTON] Yes! I wanted to do what you did. Graduate in two, then join the revolution. He looked at me like I was stupid, I’m not stupid  So how’d you do it? How’d you graduate so fast?  [BURR] It was my parents’ dying wish before they passed  [HAMILTON] You’re an orphan. Of course! I’m an orphan God, I wish there was a war! Then we could prove that we’re worth more Than anyone bargained for…  [BURR] Can I buy you a drink?  [HAMILTON] That would be nice  [BURR] While we’re talking, let me offer you some free advice Talk less  [HAMILTON] What?  [BURR] Smile more  [HAMILTON] Ha  [BURR] Don’t let them know what you’re against or what you’re for  [HAMILTON] You can’t be serious  [BURR] You wanna get ahead?  [HAMILTON] Yes  [BURR] Fools who run their mouths off wind up dead  [LAURENS] Yo yo yo yo yo!

Two pints o’ Sam Adams, but I’m workin’ on three, uh! Those redcoats don’t want it with me! Cuz I will pop chick-a pop these cops till I’m free!  [LAFAYETTE] Oui oui, mon ami, je m’appelle Lafayette! The Lancelot of the revolutionary set! I came from afar just to say “Bonsoir!” Tell the King “Casse toi!” Who’s the best? C’est moi!  [MULLIGAN] Brrrah brraaah! I am Hercules Mulligan Up in it, lovin’ it, yes I heard ya mother said “Come again?”  [LAFAYETTE & LAURENS] Ayyyyy  [MULLIGAN] Lock up ya daughters and horses, of course It’s hard to have intercourse over four sets of corsets…  [LAFAYETTE] Wow  [LAURENS] No more sex, pour me another brew, son! Let’s raise a couple more…  [LAURENS/LAFAYETTE/MULLIGAN] To the revolution!  [LAURENS] Well, if it ain’t the prodigy of Princeton college!  [MULLIGAN] Aaron Burr!  [LAURENS] Give us a verse, drop some knowledge!  [BURR] Good luck with that: you’re takin’ a stand You spit.

  • Where is the Love - Black Eyed Peas Acoustic Cover w Marissa Detlor

    I share my voice: for all who still feel undervalued for the grades on their transcripts and the color of their skin - here at TLC the race is 1 ... and it's the human race.

    Together, we will continue to work toward the promise of transformative change and the realization of a more just and equitable society. 

    Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity more radically than the power hierarchies that be... 1 way is from within the system, and working along the fringes... Challenge the Status Quo... Reflect on your Values... Get those Grades and Degrees... 1 class at a time. 

    Marissa's Cover: https://youtu.be/JskDrpKSgz4

    LYRICS

    What's wrong with the world, mama

    People livin' like they ain't got no mamas

    I think the whole world's addicted to the drama

    Only attracted to things that'll bring you trauma

    Overseas, yeah, we try to stop terrorism

    But we still got terrorists here livin'

    In the USA, the big CIA

    The Bloods and The Crips and the KKK

    But if you only have love for your own race

    Then you only leave space to discriminate

    And to discriminate only generates hate HIGH

    And when you hate then you're bound to get irate LOW

    Madness is what you demonstrate

    And that's exactly how anger works and operates HIGH

    Man, you gotta have love just to set it straight

    Take control of your mind and meditate

    Let your soul gravitate to the love,

    People killin', people dyin'

    Children hurt and you hear them cryin'

    Can you practice what you preach?

    Or would you turn the other cheek?

    Father, Father, Father help us

    Send some guidance from above

    people got me, got me questionin'

    Where is the love (The love)

    Where is the love (The love)

    Where is the love, the love, the love, the love, the love where is the love the love

    END of LYRICS
