We’re Building Something New Lyrics by Loraine James
Reflection
2021
Iceboy Violet, Loraine James RIP to all victims of police violence Abolish the police Dancing unstable under the abandoned scaffold of Babel We had eight at the table Breaking bread and cable ties No hard hats, acting fatal All them stories felt like fables Lost in the night Sharing building supplies With a joke and a sigh Small talk 'round smaller fires Flames fanned by distant cries What's mine is yours, what's yours is mine Only got hope and pain and the little bit of change stuck to my thigh Tongue soaked in rage and wine Tryna paint the sky blue or black as morning rise Been here, ten toes, can't lend you those Got holes in both my shoes Don't need to read the news One million views of Black bodies bruised And you're acting so confused The seeds they sowed bare strange fruit They tryna bleed us for that juice Tryna bleed us for this juice (RIP to all victims of police violence) They bleed us for that juice Sweeter now with the sweetest sound No saving a wretch like you We bop, we flex, we groove Look so smooth as we're making it through Patience worn like golden tooth Defiant laughter soothe the wounds Tear down their statues, break their rules Never learnt our history in school I live it, wear it, hand it down Heavy is the head that wears the crown But we won't ever keep 'em bowed Trade an eye for the calm in the eye of the storm Know my siblings standing tall Hope my siblings feel the warmth Minnesota's burning, Bristol's raw Manchester's sore, world heard the call Deserve our forty acres, want 'em all To plant our seeds and deep our roots Ripened words for the sake of the youth The seeds we sow bare beautiful fruit We're building something We're building something new We're building something new (RIP to all victims of police violence) We're building something new Dancing grateful under the abandoned scaffold of babel We had fifteen thou' at the table Breaking bread and cable ties No more rest if feels so fatal Till those war stories feel like fables Told in the night, joke and a sigh Sharing building supplies Till we touch the sky Till we touch the sky Till we touch the sky Till we touch the sky, till we touch the sky Ah, yeah
