Dessa sings like a boxing match sometimes. A lot of her verses HIT.
“We don’t say, “Go out and be brave”, nah, we say “be careful, stay safe”, in any given instance, that don’t hurt, but it sinks in like stilettos in soft earth, like a big win is not a day without an incident, I beg to differ with it, I think a woman’s worth, I think that she deserves, a better line of work, than motherfucking vigilance, don’t give me vigilance, by definition you can’t make a difference, if the big ambition is simply standing sentry to your innocence, that’s not a way to live, that can’t be what a woman is, that gives her nothing to aspire to, what that is, what that is, is just a life of running fire drills”
I imagine that’s a pretty apt description of what its like to be a woman in today’s society.
I don’t know how you all do it. This song is a scathing review. Dessa eviscerates from start to finish.
Let’s all try to go out today and be better. Be Good, Do Good.
everything, etc.
