How Long by Marca Cassity

How Long (Marx Cassity, 2023)

Reservation highway in the midnight hour
Flicker of the headlights I’m losing my power
Storm clouds move across a full moon light
Hate speech echoing eclipse my life

Watch out for the deer as you go home
It’s fight flight fight flight freeze or fawn
How much longer can I go on
My grandmother’s road is all I’ve ever known

How long

A thousand stars behind the neon lights
A thousand heart breaks beat beat as I
Drive into this city at night
City at night city at night

I miss my mother I miss my home,
Red earth hill in the thunderstorms
And the heart beat drum heart beat drum
Heart beat drum heart beat drum

In the club where the fire water flows
Love is a battlefield
Over the rainbow
Cigarette fog laser lights

On this dirty dance floor I’m going to dance dance
To save my life for one more night
Save my life for one more night

How long…
Ooooo how long (repeats)

Can I get a witness.
Can anybody see this
Numbed by the genocide
Blinded by the colonized

But the thunder and the lighting
The thunder and lighting lighting lightning
Is gonna light up light up light
So rise up child you are here for a reason
For a reason
Rise up child you’re here for a reason
