The Brainchild/Solo Project of Afro-Brazilian Bassist Flora Lucini, MAAFA-Afro-Progressive Hardcore, marries Hardcore-Punk with the rhythms of the African Diaspora.
lyrics
Defaulted to benefit from our enslavement
Generation after generation
Born at the top, held up by our backs
And choosing, to turn the other cheek
THAT’S PRIVILEGE
To inhabit your skin without fear
To inhabit your body without shame
To love who you want, to walk at night alone,
To be standing on the outside looking in
THAT’S PRIVILEGE
Chorus:
Welfare, Welfare!
They built an empire off your backs, off your backs!
Taxing your labor to secure their fortune
With no accountability
Cough up that restitution
Make you pay your debt to me
To navigate the spaces we’re not allowed to roam
Blind to exclusion you’ll never have to know
Dismantle the whole thing or nothing will change
Cuz the system was built to protect
YOUR PRIVILEGE
Repeat Chorus
The Safety of your fragility
Is priority
In this war
Against poor bodies and minorities
In this war
Against womxn and the not so binary
In this war against all black bodies
Fighting globally
THERE’S NO PEACE
Without Justice, Our kids are casualties
From Favela to Palestine
All our Mothers weep
From Plantation To President
Still the same story
From the Classroom
To prison cell Is the new chattel slavery
I love the light and shade between Bryan's dirty and Emma's forlorn vocals. There are so many layers to this recording that are driven home through contrast. Plus the riffs are brilliant and get me moving. I can't stop listening to Thou and Emma in general lately. spaceman2250
