Election Day was written as a reminder to ourselves and hopefully to many that we transcend the system that we so often feel entrapped by.

lyrics

Lyrics
I don't see a proud boy at a fema camp
I don’t see their tender passion with toiling hands
When it’s left and right it’s all L.I.T.E
But I know change is born of the Light inside me.

I just found out, their art is finding trouble
But not knowing what it means
So all we get are half assed remedies

I belong to a City of Gold,
While your hands on the bible, we choke on the smoke
And I’m not made for this world I know,
The system they built was not built for this soul

The savior gave us life, life abundant without a gun
So I kiss a trans man cause he’s my brother he’s my blood
Don't tether your sail to a seaman when strength is in the mast.
Every hand will fall out weary, ain't no big suit gonna last

And now you’re found out, wrapped up in a flag
You can’t see the least of these
So all they get are these half assed remedies

There’s no consequence with their rules
But there's a light inside me and there's a light inside you
