about

Outcry is a plea to listen to the voices of the marginalized and oppressed. In a season of notable anti-black racism, many voices are rising up around the world to testify to their experiences with oppression. The same voices are being vulnerable about their pain. Outcry is a song to encourage listening and lament as the way forward in bringing healing and connection to a fractured society.

lyrics

Anger is a language
Listen real close and you can hear the anguish
Closed ears they can only do damage
Closed ears they can only do damage

Oh, It’s the outcry
It’s the outcry

Anger is the language
It’s spirit touched with the languid
It’s clear that justice is vanished
Here are the winners crushing the banquet

Our divide keeps us hurting inside
Pushing the hurting aside
Keeping you serving your pride
Submerged in a curse full of lies
That assure you’re deserving your life

When politics is perception
Appearances become profession
What about our grandmama’s lessons
Speak truth in blessed connection

Don’t let the blame game maintain
We out here to redesign the mainframe
It’s so simple, same blood, same veins
Work together help the streets stay sane

Oh, It’s the outcry
It’s the outcry
Closed ears they can only do damage

The screams and the shouts of the street echo out
Lost another one to the blackness
The sunken place guarded by the inattentive
Hard hearted have a lot to repent of

This divide where we find ourselves
Colours teach us to define ourselves
Need hope to realign ourselves
And the growth to remind ourselves

We all sit in suits and ties
Claiming narratives infused with lies
Repping the same sets where it’s do or die
Refuse the respect between you and I

Why can’t there be a third option?
Seeking out the wisdom of Solomon
The option of honouring
In the same vein of the God you say you’re following

Oh, It’s the outcry
It’s the outcry
Closed ears they can only do damage

Anger is a language
Can you speak it?
Listen close for the anguish
Or we’re doomed to repeat it

Oh, It’s the outcry
It’s the outcry
Closed ears they can only do damage
