We want it right now - we want it We want it right here - we want it We want it with love - we want it We don't want no fear We want it right now - we want it We want it right here - we want it We want it with love - we want it We don't want no fear Your fear is hurting us Your fear is killing us It's nearly cancerous The way you're treating us Police brutalities Can't get us on our knees You hurt our families? We’ll come and flood the streets! We come to fight for the love We come to fight for the love We come to fight for the love We come to fight for the love We want it right now - we want it We want it right here - we want it We want it with love - we want it We don't want no fear No need to be feeling low Just get up and run the show Change can't come without action So let's make a pact and start reacting We've come to fight We've come to fight yeah We come to fight for the love We come to fight for the love We come to fight for the love We come to fight for the love We want it right now - we want it We want it right here - we want it We want it with love - we want it We don't want no fear

Please don't think too much I’ve forgotten to love, you know that I'll give it Leave it to the ones that haven't got time To think about living I got a lot of living to do So here it comes! I wanna take you on a long stretch As serious as it seems And nothing else can matter If you know what I mean I’ve been waiting for so long I’ve been sitting here alone Come on baby, get behind the wheel And carry on Laying on the couch You're finding out life is not much worth living Friends don't come around They don't bring their light When you're not giving So bring on the light Go make it shine tonight I wanna take you on a long stretch As serious as it seems And nothing else can matter If you know what I mean I’ve been waiting for so long I’ve been sitting here alone Come on baby, get behind the wheel And carry on Oh don't you know: I’ve been saying all along The world’s a big and pretty place And now you got to be strong Oh it's been such a long, long drive Waiting for you to come alive Carry on, carry on You got to carry on, carry on I wanna take you on a long stretch As serious as it seems And nothing else can matter If you know what I mean I’ve been waiting for so long I’ve been sitting here alone Come on baby, get behind the wheel And carry on Carry on, carry on

about

This is a precursor for the full length album that will come out this winter.

The A side of the single is a #BlackLivesMatter protest song that Ro Halfhide wrote during the Ferguson uprising all the way back in 2014, and last year asked Boston singer-songwriter Shanell Alyssa to record a verse on.
All proceeds of this single will go to Dipsaus Podcast, a podcast meant for and made by women of color. I listen to this podcast all the time and I highly recommend it if you want to steer away from the trashy mainstream media of the Netherlands. www.dipsaus.org.

The B side is a pop banger, featuring Collin Hoeve on electric guitar.
