We Want It (feat. Shanell Alyssa)

from We Want It by Ro Halfhide

/

about

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.

lyrics

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
