The pain I let it go yea
That hurt let it go yea
Yesterday was then
Today is now
Our Blessed Future happens when we answer why not how
I love it when you say my name
I love it when you call
Still receive your msg when you text nothing at all
We are so connected borders between us so liminal
Loving against the law you're deep in it with a criminal
I been doing all I can said I stand for justice
Why we working together if you can't even trust us
Opening our wounds and faults in the front lines
We couldn't build trust on secrets, falsehoods and lies
Back then I just felt used I found a sound that would honor me
Bitches talk shit never let none of their bull ever bother me
I got my truth and so do they
Still hope you find an outlet for the shit you gotta say
The pain I let it go yea
That hurt let it go yea
Yesterday was then
Today is now
Our Blessed Future happens when we answer why not how
The pain I let it go yea
That hurt let it go yea
Yesterday was then
Today is now
Our Blessed Future happens when we answer why not how
Love, life, and losses
Turned into wives, workers, and bosses
Made ourselves a governable, conquerable thing
Labeled and Packaged in plastics and boxes
Everything requires documentation
Is there really such a thing as sovereignty
When all aspects of me must be verified by an entity
Given more power to decide a truth that I am living
We want someone to blame and we want it all on paper
In a court of lawlessness that has determined
Too many melanated, queer, and ill bodies unable to regulate themselves
Fighting for scraps centered in ego
Until we elevate to that place of forgiveness and co-creation
Not for profit or by prophet, but for and by the people
Truly, equitably, with open hearts, minds, and extensions of ourselves
Forever and ever and ever
Mabuhay Ka

The pain I let it go yea (I let it go, I let it go forever)
That hurt let it go yea (I let it go)

Our Blessed Future happens when we answer why not how
The pain I let it go yea
That hurt let it go yea
Yesterday was then
Today is now
Our Blessed Future happens when we answer why not how
