They're trying hard to put me in my place
And that is why I gotta keep running
The future is mine and it's no disgrace
Cos in the end the past means nothing
You tell me I'm free then you tie me down
And from my chains I think it's a pity
What did it cost you to wear my crown
You don't like me why don't you admit it
I feel a little down today
And I ain't got much to say
But you're gonna miss me when I'm not there
You know I don't care, you know I don't care
As we beg and steal and borrow
Life is hit and miss and this
I hope, I think, I know
If I ever hear the names you call
And if I stumble catch me when I fall
Cos baby after all
You'll never forget my name
You'll never forget my name
You're trying hard to put me in my place
And that is why I gotta keep running
The future is mine and it's your disgrace
Cos in the end your laugh means nothing
D'you feel a little down today
Bet you ain't got much to say
Who's gonna miss you when you're not there
You know we don't care, you know we don't care
Cos as we beg and steal and borrow
Life is hit and miss and this
I hope, I think, I know
If I ever hear the names you call
And if I stumble catch me when I fall
Cos baby after all
You'll never forget my name
You'll never forget my name
As we beg and steal and borrow
Life is hit and miss and this
I hope, I think, I know
If I ever hear the names you call
And if I stumble catch me when I fall
Cos baby after all
You'll never forget my name
You'll never forget my name
You'll never forget my name
You'll never forget my name
You'll never forget my name

Still I Rise - Maya Angelou
A poem that's immensely important to women, and POC – I love the strength and defiance in the language. Maya Angelou was quite the woman.
--
You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may tread me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll rise.
Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
'Cause I walk like I've got oil wells
Pumping in my living room.
Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I'll rise.
Did you want to see me broken?
Bowed head and lowered eyes?
Shoulders falling down like teardrops.
Weakened by my sou
For What It's Worth - Buffalo Springfield
There's something happening here
But what it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware
I think it's time we stop
Children, what's that sound?
Everybody look - what's going down?
There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking' their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind
It's time we stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look - what's going down?
What a field day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly saying, "hooray for our side"
It's time we stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody loo
Lover To Lover - Florence and the Machine
I've been losin' sleep,
I've been keepin' myself awake,
I've been wandering the streets,
For days and days and days,
Going from road to road,
Bed to bed,
Lover to lover,
And black to red,
But I believe,
I believe
There's no salvation for me now,
No space among the clouds,
And I feel I'm heading down,
That's alright,
That's alright,
That's alright..
That's alright..
And I've been taking chances,
I've been setting myself up for the fall,
And I've been keeping secrets,
From my heart and from and from my soul.
Going from road to road,
Bed to bed,
Lover to lover,
Black to red,
But I believe,
I believe
There's no salvation for
Alas I Cannot Swim - Laura Marling
There's a house across the river
but alas I cannot swim
And a garden of such beauty
that the flowers seem to grin
There's a house across the river
but alas I cannot swim
I'll live my life regretting that i never jumped in
There's a boy across the river
with short black curly hair
He wants to be my lover
and I want to be his peer
There's a boy across the river
but alas I cannot swim
And I never will get to put my arms around him
There's a life across the river
that was meant for me
instead I live my life in constant misery
There's a life across the river
but I do not see
why I should please those who will never be pleased
