lyrics

how im supposed to post ya bail if they locked me too./
who-gon-fixup-dinner. ? drop raquan to school/
if we startin movements. be responsible/
heads high, heart strong youre incomparable/
unstoppable
unconquerable
keep ya mind on our prize, stay conscious too
revo * lutionary * music let me drop a few ...
keep ya head to whats right cuz they watch you boo
-they look up to you,
would knuckle up for you

want me hold things down
say that im ya boo
on the block day and night
i see injustice too
if Black lives matter!
then ours do too

4 my-womxn-in-the-movement who be dyin too
buried-
beneath high profile news

hangin
from a pigtailed noose

sangin
those was our dream too

going-out-to-Brown, girls. gettin-up-for school
and-Aiyana Jones-
cuz while she slept he shoot
cop-that-killed-a-baby-in-her-bed
he got off too

this-one for perms
and my naturals
no matter how you wear it
you a goddess boo
you got a brilliant spirit
and ya worth is true
and when the world be trippin
just know that i see you.🔥

Medina Knowles Rekia Boyd I see you
Alberta Spruill Shantel Davis i see you
Shereese Francis Pearlie Smith i see you
Tyisha Miller Kathryn Johnson she was 92 damn

Kat

What im supposed to do if im scared too? Said you was coo but i dont feel like i can count on you, i heard you say a time or two how much you hated a dude, for wearing a dress, talkin about how u think this world is a mess and what will you tell your son and how the system is oppressing you and all i wanna know is just how you different from the rest are you ? Throwing us away for our sex and style choices, treating us like second class citizens.

Our voices have been silenced for too long & if you think that isn't violence then u dead wrong. But hurt people hurt people.

Im just trying to figure out how many bodies it will take for you to realize its your people ... thats dying and this is me crying! Something way realer than that fake shit that you be buying

When orlando happened i didnt hear a thing from you, yo if black lives matter then ours do too

For my queer folk in the movement who be dying to, buried beneath high profile news
Hangin from a rainbow noose sang-in... those was our dreams to !
Going out to Noony Norwood, Taja Dejesus and Malissa Williams, this one goes out to you

Think
before you skip this track what would Assata do
cuz-the-next-28-hours-could-be-me or you

if ya skin tone hue Dark
and beautiful
u might get locked and shot by crooked cops proportional
dis
honoring truths

more loviin less troops
they worship loot
you put ya hands up and
they still gon shoot
and get away with it too
think of the babies boo

and when you finally get that juice
-what you gon do

look what youve done
look how far you done came
they say that dreams come true and when they do that theres a beautiful thing
do you wanna be happy
do you wanna be free

ya silence is violence it maintains the status quo and if you keeping with them stats and facts it's a slaughter yo ...

about

KATANI Albany, New York

KATANI is an anti-misogyny, pro black, women empowering rap duo comprised of Amani & Kat. Here to rep for femmes, queers, nonbinary POC who are sick of the fuckery. We know that misogynoir (misogyny directed specifically at black women where race and gender both play a role in bias) is yet another symptom of colonialism & we need to do something about it. Album bout to drop.... check the preview ... more
